CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
** aid THTOAT nre positively curable by
inhalation, which conveys Ihe remedies to
the cavities 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
peclo'ation, heals the lungs, purifies Ihe blood,
imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that lone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restorative of health. To he
able to state confidently that Consumption is
cuVablrr by inhalation, is tome a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is a much under the
control nl medical treatment as any other
formidable disbase; 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 ihe longs are so cul tip by
tliP disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the Inst stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief to the
suffering aliendir.g this fearful scourge, which
anminlly destroys ninety five thousand per
sons in the United Stales alone; and a correct
calculation shows that out of ihe present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des
tined to fill the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death lias no arrow so
falal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of fife, for it spares nei'.her
age nor sex. but sweeps off alike Ihe brave,
ttie beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.—
By tho help of that Supreme Being, from
whom rometh every good and perfect gift, I
am enabled to ofler to the afflcted a perma
nent ar.d speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in is to prevent
ihe 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 tr.edij
cities entering tho cavities of tho lungs than
Irom those adminisiered through tho 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 will) 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 entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without the
s'lghtest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will ronse 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 delected i
in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional eflects of inhalation, is Ihe fact
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared sntl
judiciously administered through ihe lungs,
shonld produce the most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and tbrout, have been tinder my care, and I
have affected many remarkable' cures, even
after the sufferers had been pronounced in
ihe last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer a latal disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perfect acquaintance wilh
the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease thot simulate consumption, arid 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
the lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
tn enlarge the chest, purify Ihe blood, imparl
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and lone
to Ihe entire system.

have been turned out lately; nnd not only
that, but he will also do them up in the best
order, upon the lowest terms.
His shop is at the old sty d, (too wel

of repenlanco.steadily drawing out the threao
of affliction,hopeing it msy in the end prove

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

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
THE recent trials at Read
ing have endorsed Ihe cur
rent of public opinion, and
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 Safes at Reading:
"On the 26tb of February all (he members
o( the Committee met to wiffiess the Safeß
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.
Altera 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 ihe contents in the Safe of Messrs.
Parrels & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."
Reading, March 2, 1857.

(Signed) P. N. COLEMAN, f Com.
. A. H. PEACOCK. )
And endorsed by over 50 of the best men
of Reading.
The above Safes can be inspected *1 34
Walnut Street, whore the yrublfc can satisfy
themselves of tho great superiority of the
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated and used-vp "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."
FARRELS & HERRING,
34 Walnnl St., Philad'a.
Only makers in this Stale of Herring's
Patent Champion Safes.
The attempt made by other parlies lo 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. Lsntz.] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one of Herring's, (half as thick)
lias met with its tiue reward. Herring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 15,000 are now in actuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.

LOTTERIES. "
THE well-known Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, of which R. FRANCE & Co. are
the managers, are chartered by the slate of
Maryland, and a commissioner elected by
the people, who is sworn to superintend and
certify that everything connected with them
is done in a strictly honorable munner, and
that tho 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 10, is, that all persons have a leg:I right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by special law in lhat
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 taSe
place after the communication comes to
hand. The prices of tickets vary from SI
to 820. No tickets are, however, sent unless
th e money for the same is received with the
order. The drawings are upon the prineiole
of one number on each ticket (after Ihe Ha
vana plan,)and Ternary combination. Prizes
vary in amount from S2O lo SIOO,OOO. All
orders for tickets or paokages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately alter it is over.
