CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
aid THTOAT ate positively curable by
inhalation, which conveys the 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
pccio'elion, heals the lungs, purifies the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that tone 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 of medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred rases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty por 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 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 fearful acourge, 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 are des
tined to fill the consumptive's grave.
Truly Ihe 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, Ihe 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 afilcted a perma
nent ar.d speedy cure in Consumption. The
first canse 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 ihe air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational to expect greater good from nr.edi]
cities entering the cavities of the Inngs than
from those administered through the stom.-
ach; Ihe 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 ioflnenco of this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min
utes, paralyzing the entile nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without the
s'tghtest 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 detected
in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects ol inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the lungs,
should produce the most happy resul#? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
ands, suffering from diseases of ttie lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and I
have affected many remarkable cures, even
alter the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stage', which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer a latal disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on lung experience and a thorough
investigation. My perlect acquaintance with
the nature of tubercles, &0., enables me to
distinguish readily tbe 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 mi to relieve
the long* from the effects of contracted cheats;
to enlarge Ihe cheat, purify the blood, impart
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and lone
to the entire system.

The undersigned, member! ef the Commit
tee, do respectfully report, that we saw ihe
two Safe! originally agreed upon by Farrela
& Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side
I by side in a furnace, viz: The Safe in use by
the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company, in /lis office at Read
ing, manufactured by Farrela & Herring, and
the Safe in uae by H. A. Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The lire was started at 8} o'clock, A. M.,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the superintendence of the subscribers, mem
bers ot the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled off with water, after which they were
opened, agd the books and papers takin out
by th 6 Committee and sent to H. A. Lantz's
store for public examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit
tee. The books and pspers taken from the
Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense heat,
while those taken from the Safe manufac
tured bv Farrels & Herring were, in our judg
ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more
than those taken from Evans & Watson's
Safe.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
THE recent trials at Read
ing have endorsed the enr
rent of public opinion, and
Confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively thai "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not burn.
Extrsct from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Safes at Reading:
"On the 26th of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and papers, (placed in tbem) and
were perfectly satisfied lhal all was right.—-
The day following, the burning tnok place,
under the superiniendence of the Committee.
After a fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fiie in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while the contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrela & Herring wete in good condition,
and no fire inside."

And endorsed by over 50 of ihe 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 ured-up "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."

The attempt made by other parties 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. Lantz.] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one of Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its Hue reward. Herring's Sate
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 15,000 are now in aciuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.
