From consumers "to waste away" usually
applied to the advanced state of lung disease
the first stage, and whenever any, of them
exist thorough examination should always
be made, with view to arrest the disease if
shown to exist: There is usually a sense of
weariness upon little exercise, a disposition
to remain passive and idle, dependency,
often from no apparent atct cause peculiar
breathlessness upon moving quickly, or de-
scending a hill or stairs, slight hacking
cough with or without eixpect9ara;ton ex
through the chest or back, or under the
shoulder blades. The symptoms more
noticeable toward during the night; slight
fever in the afternoon; cold feet and hands, or
in many cases, blue lividity of the lips and
roots of the finger nails.
Constitutional or tubercular consumption is
a common form of lung disease. The progress
is SLOW, but if left to itself no less sure 1t
usually begins with dry cough. AT first
these tubercules are exceedingly minute, the
patient not at all suspecting their presence.
Gradually they develop into more active
disease and then follows the train of symptoms
which leave no doubt as to its true character.
Sometimes splitting of blood or slight streaks in
the mucus is the first indication of tubercular
deposit, or it may be chilly sensation in the
back, followed by more or less heat in the
palms of the hands, or an afternoon flush on
the cheeks. The slow and gradual inroads of
and appetite undisturbed for a considerable
time, Finally however, hectic fever and

becomes rapid, the chest contracts, the features
sharpen, the eye attains an unusual brilliancy,
and the patient begins to realize that he is in
! the last stage of confirmed constitutional con-
! sumption.
By the employment of proper inhalations in
| the form OF medicated vapor mot steam or
| spray) we are able to produce immediate and
! direct action upon the diseased surface in the
! pharynX and the nasal passages, for air will
| find its way into the remotest and intricate
cavities, where it is utterly impossible to make
| fluid applications. By these means every case
| can be cured
Persons desiring treatment by this system Of
practice use the remedies at home as well
! as at our Office, and which will cause no incon-
| venience or hindrance from business whatever.
! have seen so many of these cases cured that
! do not consider any case hopeless unless both
| lungs are seriously involved Even then the
Compound Oxygen aud other inhalatiOns aid
and healing the cavities, which nothing else
! can do with the same success.
The very best references from those already
cured.
