Of disease lose their lives by somo form OF thsoa,
or lung complaint.
This friRhtful sacrifice Of precious human lie
before the middle of its average duration &.
reached Is wholly unnecessary and results from
ignorance, neglect and malpractice.
Throat and lung diseases constitute such a
small part of the whole sickness that they could
not possibly cause Forty Per Cent. OF the gross
mortality were they rightly understood by gen.
eral physicians.
1t is because their usual treatment is not gov.
erned by those principles which have beooIns
axioms OF medical science in the successful! treat.
ment OF infamed and liberated organs in other
parts Of the body.
1t 10 because all their early and most curab.s
stages arc wholly wasted in vain attempts 70
reach the lungs through the stomach AMI gen.
eral system, instead OF attacking the disease in
the lungs while 1t Is yet mild and could be easily
removed by direct medication.
Medical Science Requires the Direct ApplS-
cation of Remedies TO An InFdmed, Ulcer
ated and Germ Infected Parts, and 10 cure
| can result without IL.
All throat and lung complaints begin and
have their seat In the lining membranes OF the
tubes. air passages and cells Of the throat and
lungs. They arc purely local diseases and caa
| only be removed by the Direct Application Of
Healing Remedies to the Internal Surfaces
Of Those Organs.
By inhaling medicines in q volatile state We
carry them through every air passage, tube and
cell of the breathing organs. and produce d.
rect healing action on the verY seat OF all lunF
cases. II the physician knows what to iuAals
and has experience in It's strength and yroper
adaptation to the various stages and forms Of
lung disease his patient has a fair chance OF
cure-but without local treatment and tie
knowledge 10 rightly apply 1t, no chance what
ever.
Inhgiation IL tho Only Tay These Dis-
eases Ersr Hare Been or Can Possibly Be
Reached, their seat being in the internal lining
Of the breathing organs. which can only Be pele
trated BY medicated air. gas or the mosI deli
cate yapors. II We do not treat them By uedi.
Gated inhalations, we Do Sot Treat the Die
eased PGrts at All, and cannot possibly expect
to restore them to health.
Inhalation Is. therefore, the only common
sense treatment for any form Of Bronchial or
Pulmonary Disease and the only possible means
OF bringing specific germicides TO act upon and
eIpel the germs Of consumption from the lungs.
In the light OF our present knowledge OF
these diseases, to treat Bronchitis, Asthma
and Pulmonary Catarrh through the stomach Is
TO conduct them by the most direct road into
consumption. Whoever misieads the people
into believing they can be cured By such treat
ment deccives them to their own death and
ought TO be held criminaliy answerabie.
II indicating the general system would cure
local diseases, why do physicians oil over the
world insist on the necessity Of local treatment
for the eye, the ear, the womb, and every Other
organ that can be reached by local remedies ! l.
is because they know they could NOT cure them

often wonder why those doctors who deludo
their patients having Bronchitis AMI other lung
complaints into trusting their stomach medica-

cure the itch by putting sulphur ointment into

Sulphur and yeruituge are certain remedies for
these diseases when locally applied, but would
not cure in any other way
