CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL .DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
aad THTOAT ate positively curable by
inhalation, which .conveys the remedies to
the canities in the lungs through the air pas
sages, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter,
allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex
pecto-siion, heals the lungs, purifies the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that .tone and energy so indis
pensable for the restorative of health. To he
able to slate confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control o( medical treatment as any other
formidable disnase; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the first slages,
and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the
third stage it is impossible to save more than
five percent., for-the luogs 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
Hifleriiig attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per
sons in.the United States alone; and a correct
calculation shows that nut of the present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des
tined to fill the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and tfie gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom comelh every good and perfect gift, I
am enabled to offer to the afficled e perma
nent and speedy .cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, 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 from ir.edit
cines entering the cavities of tho lungs than
Irnm those administered through the stom
ach; the patient w ill 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 certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. ,To prove
the powetlul and direct influence oi this
mode 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 the
s'iglitest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will (festroy lite in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will 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
inhalejL apd may be immediately delected
in die blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is lite fact
that sicljness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. la not this positive evidence
thai proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the tangs,
should produce the most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years'practice, many thous
ands, suffering of tfie lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and I
have affected many - remarkable cures, even
zlt'er tbe sufferers had been pronounced in
the fast stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no Longer o fatal disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and u thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the pature of tubercles, &c., enables me to
distinguish readily the various forms of dis-
I ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies raroly being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with'rerfain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
the lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge tbe chest, purify the blood, impart
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and lone
to the entire system. t

THE undersigned having]ust received the
latest Paris and New York Fashions
would again beg leave to inform bis numet j
ous friends and all the world about Blooms
burg,that he is nowf better prepared than ev
er to accommodate any one with the neaiest
easiest and best fitting suits of Clothes that
have been turned out lately; and not only
that, but he will also do them up in the best |
order, upon the lowest terms.
Hisho|flA at the old stand, (100 wel
known o need fnilhernotVe) where he may
at all times be found, seated open the bench
of repentance steadily drawing out the Ihreao
of affliction,hnpeiug it may in the end prove
advantageous to him and his customers. Hi
would also advise his fiends to bear in mine
} that poor, afflicted tailors must live, or they
can't be expected to work. Therefore Wheat,
Rye, Corn, Oats, Potatoes, and with all now
and then a little CASH will come mighty
bandy from those who are back-standing on
the books.
Remember, gentlemen, that in all cases
"Ihelaborer is worthy of his hire."

HERRING'S
THE ACKNOWLEDGED
THE recent trials at Read
ing tißve endorsed the cur
rent of public opinion, anil
confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not burn.
Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron bales at Reading:
"On the 26th of February all the members
ol the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and papers, (placed in them) and
were perfectly satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
After a fuir and impartial burning for five
houts, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opcocd, the Safe being on fire in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while the contents in the Safe of Messrs.
Parrels & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

And endorsed by over 50 of the best men
of Reading.
The above Safes can be inspected at 34
Walnut Street, where the public can satisfy
themselves of the great superiority of the
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated and used-up "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."

Only makers in this Stale of Herring's
Patent Champion Safes.
The attempt made by other parties to bol
ster up the reputation of a Safe which has
tailed signally in accidental fires in Philadel
phia, (lianstead Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, [H. A. Lantz.] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one of Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its due reward. Herring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe tinw made is Herring's,
of which over 15,000 are now irractue! use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.

LOTTERIES.
THE welhknown Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, ol which It. FRANCE & Co. are
the managers, are chartered by the state of
Maryland, and a commissioner elected by
the people, who is sworn to superintend and
comfy that everything connected with them
is.done in a strictly honorable manner, and
that (he interista of parties who reside at a
distance are as well protected as if they
themselves were present at the drawing.—
Another fact which tlm managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons have a legs I right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
state. A lottery is drawn every day of the
month. If no particular class is named, or
ders are filled in the first drawing to take
place after the communication comes to
hand. The .prices ol tickets vary from SI
to S2O. No tickets are, however, sent unless
Ih e money lor the same is received with the
order. The drawings are upon the principle
of one number on eaoh ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,) and Ternary combination. Prizes
vary in amount from S2O to SIOO,OOO. All
orders fur tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately after it is over.
