INHAL4TION TREATMENT.
An Institution for sthe Bulhng
Method Established in Ne7C York.

The medicinal treatment OF bronchial diseases
by means of vapors is not a recent discovery
II has long been recognized that the various
ailments OF the respiratory organs. nose,
l, .rynx larynx and lungs could be treated ef-
fectivey only by the inhalation of certain
medicinal substances. but an apparently In
srrInountable difficulty has retarded the evolu-
ton Of this department of medical science in
asruch as the various forms of apparatus for
the proper application Of the medicated vapors
have been wanting The infnitesnal admins
tration Of medicinal substances indispensa bic for
the proper treatment Of the air passages could
not be accomplished with the imperfect instru-
Inents formerly at the disposal Of the medt-
cal profession II was not only impossible 70
penetrate the minute ramfcations Of the bron-
chi but frequently the hot vapors irrttated the
sensitive mucous membrane, causing more harm
than good
A few years ago the well known German
specialist DR.. BuIling Of Munich. invented two
forms Of apparatus which it is believed fulfil
all the requirements of the art. To these two
apparatus he has given the names Of "Gutta-
fer and ''Tfern1o-V W Variator" both Of which
have been installed in New York in The lnhaa-
torium, a medical institute devoted primarily
70 this system of treatment, at No. 13I West
1920 st.
In speaking of the Inhalatorium. as the instt-
tuition is called. a well known physician said:
THE advantages to the public in general ot
such an institution in this country are inesti-
ma BILE. and will undoubtedly prove a boon to the
medical profession as well assistance TO
them in curing their patients who suffer with
various forms Of catarrhal and pulmonary dis
eases.
The greatest medical authorities Of Europe
have recognized the superior merits Of the
Bulling method in enthusiastic terms Prof.
Van Schroeder of Vienna reports in the Bib
liothek der Gesundheitspfege various expert
ments which he has made. satisfying himself as
TO the efficiency OF this method.
Extensive experiments were aIso made with
animals by Prof Enmerch Of Munich in
number Of dogs which inhaled a four per cent
solution of salt. They then killed by a
blow OF a hammer when he found surprising
quantities Of chloride of sodium in the lungs
which could have been deposited there only
through the process of inhalation by this meth
cd. These experiments he repeated with other
animals. and il other instances found that sub
stances had been deeply lodged IN the lung
tissue
a natural consequence of these astonishing
experiments was the opening in Europe of a
number of inhalatoriums treating according TO
this new system. These institutions fire.

The Inhalatorium is conducted by an able
specialist who has been the director Of one Of
/ the E,uropean Inhalatoriums in which the Bull
