ONLY THREE
DIFFERENT METHODS
Of Treating CatsErh, Bronchitis,
Asthma and Consumption
ALL so FULLY EXPLAINED
That Common Sense Will Teach
You Which to Use.

Although there are hundreds OF treat
ments for the cure of these diseases advers
tised, but three different methods are used
we propose to truthfully state the merits
Of each and permit those afflicted to decide
which is best. The first and oldest way Of
trying to reach these diseases was through
the stomach; of course, this method has
ceased to be used, except by quack
doctors and among ignorant people, for
every intelligent person knows that trying
to cure cstarrh or consumption in this way
is absurd, both diseases being purely local
in nature. The fact that not one single
cure has ever been reported from thlst treat.
ment should preclude all possibility of any
one's using 1t hereafter, and we will leave
IL to rest In peace.
The second method, although perhaps no
more effective than the first, is far moro
with hundreds of men inc women who have
lost their sense Of taste and smell, as we'll
as their hearing. by this barbarous treat
ment. We speak of sprays, douches, atom:
the same, for the object Of all is to force
strong solutions of carbolic acid, borax,
cocaine, menthol, and iodine into the deli.
cate air.passages of the head passages
which are irritated even by pure water.
1t does seem strange, indeed. that in this
enlightened age people will permit this out
rage on nature, and more especially so when
we are aware of the fact that ninety-nine
out of every hundred grown persons know
that Nature itself has constructed the air
passages in the throat and lungs SO as to
make 1t absolutely impossible for moisture
of any kind to enter; yet, in spite OF this,
in spite of the reports OF the Board OF
Health, which have, until lately, shown o
continued increase in these diseases, in
spite of the fact that you cannot find one
ainnla naraon opoonn oil uo1r arnnafDfancaa
who has been cured-in the face Of all this,
thousands of dollars are annually made by
advertising doctors with such methods. To
be sure they are short-llved, but soon open
up again under a different name,a and con.
tfnue to reap a harvest from the poor
fortunates. The writer himself Is acquaints
ed with men and women In this city who
have expended hundreds of dollars on these
supposed new and different treatments,
where the money has gone into the same
pocket, and they have received the same
treatment, only disguised by new, ma
chinery and a new name. oh, the shame
of it; and to think that it cannotb be stopped.
The third method Is a new one, and needs
but a few words of explanation. 1t simply
consists of a dry-air germicide (the only one
ever found), which Is inhaled and carried
to all parts of the head, throat, and lungs
in the air we breathe. And although 1t was
introduced to the public but a few short
years ago, it has cured over half a million
sufferers, reduced the death rate of con.
sumption 80 per cent. has received the in.
dorsement Of the most prominent men and
women In the social, scientific, and religious
world, and has been accepted by tho medi.
cal profession as the first and only known
cure for these diseases. There has been no
attempt made by the manufacturers to force
this treatment on to the public; they have
simply tried to teach them the construction
of the air passages, then said, we ave o
cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Coughs, Colds, and Consumption, which
will reach the diseased parts, and ask you
to give it a trial. If it does not cure, We
will refund the money.
