CONSUMPTION,
A ND ALL .DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
** aid THTOAT are positively curable by
inhalation) which conveys the remedies to
the cavities in the lungs through the air pas
pages, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter,
allays the cotfgh, causes a free and easy ex
peclo'alion, heals the 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 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 disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the
third stage it is impossible to save more than
five per cent., for the lungs are so cut np by
lite disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per
sons in the United States alone; and a correct
calculation shows lhat out of thepresont pop
ulatjon of the earth, eighty millions are des
tineTto 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 the gifted.
By the help of lhat Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift, I
ain enabled to offer to the afficted a perma
nent ard speedy core in Consumption. The
first cause ol tubercles is from impure 1
blood, and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the longs, is to prevent
the free admission of sir into the sir cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational to expect greater good from ir.edij
cines entering the cavities of the Inngs than
Irom those administered through the stom
ach; 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 certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the poweitul and direct influence ol this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min
utes, paralyzing the emirs nervous system, so
thai a limb may be amputaled without the
s'ightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destiny lite in a few hours.
The inhalatinu of ammonia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many of the medicines is per
cepiible in the skin a lew minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately delected
in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. la not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the lunge,
should produce the most happy results f Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
ands, suffering from diseases of die lungs ■
and ihrout, hnve been under my care, and I
have affecled many remarkable cures, even
ufier llie sufferers had been pronounced in
Ihe last stages, which fully satisfies me thai
consumption is no longer a lalal disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease that simulate consumption, and 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
Ihe lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge the chest, purify Ihe blood, imparl
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and lone
to the entire system.

THE recent trials at Read

Extract Trom the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Safes at Reading:
"On the 26tb of February all the members
of the Codimiueo met to witness the Safes
and books and papers ; .(placed in them; and
were perfectly satisfied that all was right.— 1
The day following, the burning Inok place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
After q fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, 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."

The above Safes can be inspected at 34

themselves ,pf the great superiority of .the
"Herring's Patent Champion-," over the de
feated and used-up "inside Iron Door Sala- '

The attempt made by otber parlies to bol
ster up the reputation of a Safe which has
failed signally in accidental fires in Philadel
phia, (Ranstead Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, [H. A. Lantz.] mnde dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn np"or,eof Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its true reward. Herring's Safe
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 16,000 are now in actuel use,
and more than 200 have been Iriod by fire
without a single loss.

• LOTTERIES.
THE well-known Maryland Consoliualfld
Lotteries, ot which R. FRANCE & Co. are
Ihe mnnngers, are chartered b> the state of
Maryland, and a commissioner elected by
Ihe people, who is sworn to superintend and
certify that everything connected with them
is done in a strictly honorable manner, and
that the inlerists of parlies who reside at a
distance are as well protected as if they
themselves were present at the drawing
Another fact which the managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons hove n legs I right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, at
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
slate. 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 of tickets vary from Si
to 820. No ticketsare, however, sent unless
the money lor the same is received with the
order. The drawings are upon the principle
of one number on each ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,) and Ternary combination. Prizes
vary in amount from 420 to SIOO,OOO. All
orders lor tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and Ihe drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately altpr it is over.
