Considerable interest is excited among the
relatives of a certain Miss JAjoett, in Ches
ter county, in a subject in wbicb ibe commu
nity at large is also interested. The lady in
qoealion has made application for a divorce,
end the bill is about to come before the Sen
ate. The circumstances of the care are pe
coiiar. Mist Jaquett, about a year ago, was
at ■ small parly with a certain Mr. Bacblell,
where the one publicly challenged tbe other
lo get married—by way of a joke. Tbe tatt
ler was mutually accepted; the gentleman
and lady jumped into a vehicle, posted off to
* qeighboring clergyman—tbe knot Wae tied
—but the lady, having ihowed her spirit, de
clared she would carry the joke DO further.
Both parlies soon found they bad oarried the
joke too far. Mr. Bachtell was a gentleman
of property in Obio. He'could no longer
make title to bia real estate. The young
lady, who reigned as a village belle, soon
found she bad been trifling with a serious
matter. It wee an aot of youthful indiscre
tion for which tbe law had provided no
remedy.
It should be said in extenuation of the
young lady, that her ignorance of Ibe bind

doubted that Mr. Bachteli was well posted
op, and is therefore the parly responsible for
the act.

able to state coDlideatly tbat,.Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me .a source of
unalloyed pleasure, it is as miicb under the
eontrol of medical ttaatraeJMW aajr,other
formidable disease; ninety out of arerfTkto
dred cases oau be cored in (he first e'Ages,
and fifty per cent, in the second; but in tbe
third stage it is impossible to save mote than
"five per oent., for the lungs are so cut up by
the disease as to'bid defiance to medicaid
skill. Even, however, in the lsst stages, in
halation afTords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety fire thousand per
sons in the United States atone; and a correct
oalcolaiion shows that out bf the present pop
ulation of tbe earth, eighty millions are des
tined to fill the consompuve'a grave.
Truly the quiver of dealb baa n? arrow so
fatal at Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor eex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
1 the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift, I
am enabled to ofler to the afflcled ■ perma
nent and speedy cure iu Consumption. Tbe
first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and tbe immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the longs, is to prevent
the free admission of sir into
which cauees a Weakened
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational to expect greater good from medij
cines entering the cavities of the lungs than
from those administered throogh the stom
ach; the patient will always find tbe lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, inbhiation it not a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
and with more -power andesertaTnty tbsu rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerful and direct influence of Ibis
mode of administration, chloroform Inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a few min
utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without tbe
shghtcst pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy Itle if) k few tiAurs.
The inhalation of attiraonia wilt rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many of the medicines is per
ceptible in the skin a few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately detected
in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is tbe fact
that sickness is always produced. breath
ing foul air. fs oot this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the lungs,
should produce the most happy results'? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and I
have affeoted many remarkable cures, even
after the sufferers had baen pronounced ill
(he last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer h lata I disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded oil long experience and h thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
tbe nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to
distinguish readily the various forma of dis
ease that stimulate consumption, Slid apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
tbe lunge from the effects of contracted cheets;
to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart
to it renewed Vitality, giving energy and tone
la the entire system.
