CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL JISEABES 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 mailer,
allays tint cough, causes a free and easy ex
pectoration, heals the lungs, pur lies the blood,
imparlH renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that tone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restorative of health. To be
able to stale confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control ol medical treatment as any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred eases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the
third stage it is impossible lo save more than
five per cent., for the lungs are so cut up by
the disease as to bid defianee lo medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief to (he
Fullering attending tills fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per
sons in the United States alette; and a correct
calculation shows that out of the present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions ure des
tined lo fill the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of dealli 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 oil" alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom rometli every good ami perlect gift, I
ntn enabled to oiler to the nlllctod a perma- j
nent and speedy cute in Consumption. The
first canso of tubercles is from impure j
blood, and the immediate etfect, 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
cines entering the cavities ol the lungs than
from those administered through the stom
ach; the patient will always find the longs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
I remedies. True, inhalation is a local
| remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
and with more power and certainly than rent
j odies administered by the stomach. To prove
the povverlol and direct influence ol this
1 mode of administration, eliloroform inhaled
! will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min
| u'es, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
! that a limb ma> be amputated without the
| slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
: gas will destroy life ill a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will ronse the
i system when fainting or apparently dead.—
j The odor ot many ol the medicines is per
; eeptible in the skin a few minutes after being
i inhaled, and may be immediately detected
jin the blood. A convincing proof of the
' constitutional effects ol inhalation, is the fact
i that sickness is always produced by breath
' ing foul air. Is not this poeiiive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the lungs,
should produce the most happy results? Du
i ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
' amis, suffering from diseases of the lungs
ar.d throat, have been under my care, and 1
have affected many remarkable cures, even
alter the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me that
| consumption is no longer a latal disease.—
1 My treatment of consumption is original, and
j loundcd on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perlect acquaintance with
: the nature of tnbereles, &c., enaoles me to
j distinguish rradily the various lorms of dis
1 ease that simulate consumption, and apply
i ihe proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This lamihariiy in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables rne lo relieve
IIIP longs from the effects of contracted chest:
to enlarge the chest, purity the blood, impart
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
to ihe entire system.

superintend the burning of the Iron
Safes at Reading, Feb. 27th, 1857.
RKADINC, March 4th.
The undersigned, members of the Commit
tee, do respectfully report, that we saw the
two Safes originally agreed upon by Parrels
& Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side
by side in u furnace, viz: The Sute in nse by
the Paymaster ol the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company, in his odice at Read
ing, manufactured hy Farrels & Herring, and
the Safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in hia store,
manufactured by Evans & YVgtson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started at 8i o'clock, A. M.,
and kept un until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and half chestnut lop wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the superintendence of the subscribers, mem
bers ot the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled od with water, after which they were
opened, agd the books and papers taken out
by the Commitlee and sent to H. A. Lantz's
store lor public examination, alter lltoy were
first examined and marked by the Commit
tee. The books and papers taken from the
Sale manufactured by Evans & Watson were
but slightly a fleeted by the intense heal,
while those taken from the Safe manufac
lured hy Parrels & Herring were, in our judg
meiii, damaged fully fitlecn per cent, more
than those taken front Evans & Watson's
Safe.

THE recent trials at Read
'"g have endorsed the enr
*HT*~~i'irP^ —' 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 Sales at Reading:
"On Ihe 26th of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and papers, (placed in them) and
were perlectly sat isfteil that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Commiiiee.
After a fair and impartial bnrninc for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on lite in
i side, and the contents partially consumed,
1 while the contenis in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrels & Herring were in good condition,
j and no fire inside."

The attempt made by other parties to bol

(ailed signally in accidental fires in Philadel

of an agent's store, [H. A. Lane/,] made dou
ble thiekness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one of Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its ttue reward. Herring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
ol which over 15,000 are now in acluel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by lire
without a single loss. •

Another fact which the managers call alien- i

Two boxes have completely cured Ihe

Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles.
Oue dose cures the headache arising from
a foul stomach.
Strong do-es often repeated expel every

The should be given to children, Who ate

As a gen'le Physic they have no equal.
One box cures derangement ol the l.ivvr
Hall a box cures a cold.
They purity the blood, and thus strike at
the foundation of every disease.
As a dinner Pill there ii not their equal in
