DR.. HUNTER
ON THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION
And other Lung Diseases by Antisep-
tic Limitations.

The leading physicians of the world now
concede consumption TO be local disease
of the LUNGS caused by bacteria, which
have gotten into them from without.
The old theory that IT was q disease OF
the whole body caused by Bherited ta.nt
in the blood, is now given up by all medl-
cal schools as wholly false and untenable
SO long as that doctrine was believed TO
b. true there was nationality in the eifoTt
of physicians TO reach consumption through
the stomach but after they have given up
that as Il heresy against medical science,
and concede the whole trouble to be in the
liIngs-where il must be reached ana cured
if the patients life is To be saVed-there IS
none whatever in such treatment.
IL is an axiom OF the healing art that
ali inflamed and liberated parts require
LOCAL treatment for their cure sore
eve or sore throat or 2 diseased stomach
is successfully treated By applying healing
medicine to the affected part and cannot
be cured in any other way. rms IS eqodly

result
The lungs being the seat of consumption
and the disease being caused by living
germs which are deVouring their substance,
as mageots do raw flesh, the only hope
there is for one having lung disease IS the
direct application OF remedies 10 the inner
surface of the lungs capable OF destroying
the germs and healing the wounded paris
No other treatment is rational as the
lungs can only be reached by inhalation.
All the danger which attends consumption
lies in the luugS-the breathing Is dltncuit

air taken into the lungs at each breath IS
not sufficient for its proper putllcatiOh-
