Upon examining the composition of the best Peruvian

the best tint ran be trade. On Die contrary, there is
always present more or less of superfluous matter,some
titoes iti large quantity. The composition proposed by

1 that of the best Guanrs, orto any other artificial manure

titled to give this positive opinion, from the unlocked for
results of the action of sulphuric arid on animal matter,
which I obtained in experiment, but whirl) were antici

At the request of parties interested, 1 h tve no hesi'a

artificial manure, bv acting upon animal matters by sni
phuric acid, as detailed in Sir Hare's Patent, and mixing
the resulting substance with animal,charcoal and phos
phate of I.iine, is correct tn theory, and although I have
had no opportunity of testing tiie manure thus formed
practically, 1 h .Ve no doubt thai a manure formed by the

TEI> INHALATION.
"I he gieat point in the ircclinent of all human maladies
is to get at the disease in a direct manner. All medicines
are estimated by their action upon the organ requiring
relief. This is the important fact upon which Inhalation
is based If ihe stomach is diseased, we take medicine
directly into the stomach. If the lungs are diseased,
breathe or inhale medicated v ipnrs directly into theui. —
The reason why C msumplion ami diseases of the Lungs
have heretofore resisted ah treatment, h is been because
itey were not approached in a direct manner by medicine.
They were intended to be local, and yet they were so ad
ministered that Ihev could only act constitutionally, ex
pending their immediate action upon the stomach, whilst
the foul ulcers within the Lungs were unmolested. In
halation brings the medicine into direct contact w 1 h the
disease, withou! the disadvantage of any violent action,
lis application is so simple that it may he employed by
On- youngest inftni or fecbh-st invalid. It does not de
range the stomach, or interfere in the least with the
strength, comfort or business of the patient.
KrNo charge for consultation.
