CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
aid THTOAT ate positively curable by
inhalation, which conveys the remedies to
the entities in the lungs through the air pas
sages, nnd coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter,
allays the ctgigh, causes a free and easy ex
pecto-stion, heals ihe lungs, purifies the blood,
imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that lone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restorative of health. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a source of
orndUyjuLuhsuaflio. It is as mncfi under iho
control ol medical treatment ny otUsr
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred rases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent, in Ihe second; hut in the
third stage it is impossible to save more than
five per cent., for the lutffcs are so cut up by
the disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this fearfulscourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per
sons in the United States alone; and a correct
calculation shows that out of the present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions arc des
tined In (ill the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In ull ages it has been
the gteat enemy ol life, for it spares neither
age nor sex. but sweeps ofr alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.—
By iho help of that Supreme Being, from
whom eometh every good and perfect gift, i
am enabled to offer to the afilcled o perma
nent ar.d speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause ot tubercles is from impure
blodd. and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational to expect greater good from ir.edij
cities entering tljf cavities of the lungs than
Irom those administered through the slotn
acli; the patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
and with more power and certainly than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the pnweiliil and direct influence ol this
-aiode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min
utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without thu
shghlcM pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destioy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor ol many of the medicines is per
ceptible in ihe 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 Ihe fact
that sickness is alway'6 produced by breath
ing foul air. Ia not this positive evidence
thai proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through ihe lungs,
should produce Ihe most happy results! Du
ring eighteen years' practice, mariv thous
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and 1
have affected many remarkable cures, even
after ihe sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer a lata! disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance wiih
the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease that simulate consumption, anil apply
ihe 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
. ihe lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge lite chest, purify ihe blood, imparl
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
to ihe entire system.

TONICS WON'T I0.
FJIHEY never did do more than give tempo
rary relief and they never will. It is he
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The cause of all ague and billious dis
eases is the atmospheric poison called Mias
ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE,
and all diseases caused by it disappears at
once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is this
Antidote to Malaria, and moreover it is a
perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate
of thecetobrated chemist, J. R. Chilton, of
New York, to this effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if it does no good it cue do
no tiarm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine,
Arsenic, or any tonic in existence, as their
use is ruinous to the constitution and brings
on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son to feel perfectly well for f single moment.
In illustration of these truths I annex some
extracts from a letter just received from a
Physician :
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '56.
JAS. A. RIIODKS, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of
2d inst. is at hand. The Cure arrived late
last year and the difficulty in getting any one
to try it was greatly increased from the fact
thai a remedy had been introduced which
was growing in favor with the public, as be
ing better than using Quinine, —not knowing
1 presume that the remedy they needed to
escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG
ITSELF!
This remedy, (known as "Smith's Tonic,")
would invariably BREAK an ague, but it did
not CURE it, and it would often return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstance 1
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
test comparison between it and your CURE.
The following is the result:
Throe persons took your "Cure," all of
which were esses of "Quotidian Intermit
tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They
had tried Quinine, and other remedies, occa
sionally missing a chill, but it was, (as in all
such cases,i slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and severer
maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi
cal cure of all threb of these cases with your
remedy, and lltey have not had a chill since.
In all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton
ic" had been used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the chill, but after a period or two
had elapsed it would return.
I think there will be no difficulty now in
giving to your "Cure" the vantage ground of
any other remedy now in nse here. &c. &c.
WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D.
RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or
Antidote to Malaria,, the only harmless reme
dy in existence, ie equally certain as a PRE
VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when
yon feel the chill coming on, and you will
never have Swingle one

PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL HOUSE—
Established 20 years ago by Dr. KINKELIN,
corner of Third and Union streets, between
Spruce and Pine, Philadelphia, Pa.
INVALIDS
Are apfrised thfd Dr. KINKELIN confines
his priur.ice 'tb a- particular brsnch of medi
cine, which engages his individual attention.
He cautions the unfortunate against the a
buse of mercury; thousands are annually
mercurialized out ol life. Recent affections
I are promptly extinguished.
TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE
In the treatment of a class of diseases hilh
erlo neglected and imperfectly understood,
has enabled Dr. KINKELIN, Author of a
work on Self Preservation, to prove hat nine
tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo
cal and constitutional weakness, mental and
physical suffering, are traceable to certain
habits, forming the most secret yet deadly
and fatal springs of domestic misery and
premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE,
There is an evil hnbit sometimes indulged
in by boys, in solitude, nnd which, if not re
formed in due time, not only begets serious
obstaMes to matrimonial happiness,but gives
rise to a series of protracted" insidious, and
devastating afflictions. Few ol those who
gito way to this pernicious practice are a
ware ol the consequences, until they find
the nervous system shattered, feel strange
and unaccountable feelings, and vague fears
in the mind.
The unfortunate thu9 affected becomes fee
ble, is unable to labor with accustomed vig
or, or to apply his nlind to study; his step is
lardy and weak, he is dull, irresolute, and
engages in his sport with less energy than
usual.
If he emancipate himself before the prao
lice has done its worst, and enter matrimony,
his marriage is unfruitfnl,.snd his senso tells
him that this is caused by his early follies.
These are considerations which should awa
ken the attention of those similarly situated. I
MARRIAGE
Requires the fulfillment of several conditions
in order that it may be really the cause ol
mutual happiness. Could the veil which
covers the origin of domestic wretchedness
be raised, und its true source ia every in
stance' disclosed—in how many could it be
traced to physicifl disqualifications and their
attendant disappointments! Apply ihenwhile
it ie yet time, in order to have your unstrung
ami relaxed organization rebraued, revivified
and strengthened.
REMEMBER,
Ho who places himself under Dr. Kinkelin's
treatment may religiously confide in his hon
or as a genteman, and rely upon the assur
ance, that the secrets ol Dr. K'spatiems will
never be disclosed.
Young man—let no false modesty deter
yon Trom making your case Known to one
who, from education and respectability, can
befriend you.
Too many think they will conceal (tie se
cret in their own hearts, nnd cure themselves
Alas ! how often is this a latul delusion, and
how many a promising young man, who
might have been an ornament to society, has
faded from the earth.
