CONSUMPTION
(CoNTINUED.)

Extracts from DR.. Hunters Lectures on the
Progress of Medical Science in Lung Diseases.l
To cure the lungs after the bacilli germs
have attacked them and set up Consump-
ton, is one of the greatest achievements
of modern medical science. 1t has only
been DONE so far as | know or believe, by
my special treatment. No reputable ply
Sician now pretendS that any combination
of stomach medication will drive the Con-
sumption germs out of the lungs. Hypo-
dermic injections of Koch's lymph, EdI-
sons asepsin, goats blood. asses serum
and other noStIumS of that llk are equally
worthless, and more harmful. Such blood
poisoning experiments, instead OF curing
the lung disease, make it worse, and serve
only to hasten its progress to a fatal issue.
Lung diseases are curable only by local
treatment of the lungs, and inhalation Is
the only means by which local treatment
can be applied to the lungs. Inhalation OF
antiseptic germcideS was first discovered
by me and successfully applied in con-
sumption and other lung diseases. l am
the Father of the doctrine that consump-
ton is local disease of the lungs, and the
founder OF its local treatment by medi-
Gated air inhalations. This method OF
treatment brought the first ray of rational
hope TO consumptiyeS. 1t is the only pos
Sible way in which medicines can be intro
duced into the air passages and lungs.
All lung remedies must be reduced to
state of gas or vapor and breathed, be-
cause no solid or fluid medicine can be
introduced into an air cavity, without
danger to life The lungs are an air cavity,
and by the air and through the air every
curative action by medicine can be pro
duced on the seat of every form OF lung
disease. My antiSeptic and healing RENE
dies enter into and form a component part
Of the air the patient breathes.
Since my introduction of this scientific
and successful method of treating lung
diseases many imitation inhaiIng lnStru-
ments and nostrums for inhalation have
been brought out, in some instances by
persons without any medical knowledge
or experience of lung cases. The idea
seems TO be that anything inhaled must be
a remedy. What will cure the lungs when
inhaled depends on the physicians knowl-
edge of lung diseases, his experience OF
the action of remedies when breathed, and
his careful adaptation Of them to each
case. 1t has taken me a lifetime to learn
what is best for each form and varying
conditions of lung diseases, and no man
can adopt my practice or apply ii with sue
cess without having my experience TO
guide him. 1t is the medicines that cure,
not the mere act of inhaling them. You
might inhale what could do you no good,
or harm instead of good, and call that in
halation treatment.

Civil Service in Michigan.

The Port Huron -Y-Rays (Democratic) was
not at all pleased with the way Cleveland
exempliiied Civil Service in Michigan. 1t
says:
There never was more disgraceful state
of affairs in the United States service in
Port Huron. The appointment of Mr.. Crocker
himself was largely an act of sympathy, and
an insult to the people of Port Huron, who
desired someone else. The man whom the
citizens of Port Huron wanted for Collector
had as fine an Endorsement for the Collector
ship as man has ever had for any office, but
he was turned down. Ifhe had been appointed
Collector different condition of affairs would
have existed, but from the day that Mr.
Crocker took the oilice the downfall Of the
Democratic party in this City, County, and
Congressional District commenced, and the
appointments, to a large extent, were of no
use to the service or to the party"

We crossed to the other side, and in less than

of laughter, and other occurrences serve
to dispel in SOME measure the ennui of camp
life.
l remember farmer who did not reside so
far from one of our camping places as he
wished, and who was accustomed to find
every morning that several rows of potatoes
had disappeared from the field. He bore it
some time, but when the last half of his field
of this vegetable began to disappear he began
to think that sort of thing had gone far enough,

next morning, and occupied himself by going
