COAISDKII'TIOIV, AND ALL JISEASES 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, und coming in direct contact with the | disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex pectoration, heals the lungs, purifies the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys tem, giving that lone and energy so indis pensable (or the restorative of health. To be able to stale confidently that Consumption is curable by inhalation, is lo me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the control ol medical ttcatnient as any other formidable disease; ninety out of every bun dled cases can be cored in the first s'.ages, and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the thitd stage it is impossible 10 save more than five per cent., lor the lungs are so cut lip by the disease as to bid defiance lo medical skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in halation tillorils extraordinary tehef to the sulleriog attending this fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per sons in the United Stales alone; and a correct calculation shows that out of the present pop ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des tined lo fill the consumptive's grave. Truly the quiver of death lias no arrow so falal as Consumption. In all ages il lias been the great enemy of life, for il spares neiiher age nor sex. but sweeps .(T alike ihe brave, the beauiiful, the craretnl, anil the gilled.— By the help of that Supreme Being, fiom whom romeili every good ami perfect gill, I am enabled 10 oiler to the utlliied o poima nent ai;<l speedy cure in Consumption. The fust cause ol toborclea is horn impure blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their disposition in ihe 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 cities entering the cavities of the lungs than from 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, ami with more power and certainty than rem -1 edies administered by Ihe stomach. To prove the powerful and direct influence ol this mode ot administration, chloroform inhaled will entiieiy destroy sensibility in a tew min ii'es, paralyzing the eutue nervous system, so I that a limb may be ampuia'ed without the shghtest pain; inhaling (tie ordinary burning gas will destroy Ide in a Tew hours. The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the ' svstem when tainting or apparently dead.— i The odor of many ol the medicines is per repiible in the skin a lew- minutes alter being ■ inhaled, and ntay be immediately detected l in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional cflects ol inhalation, is the fact , that sickness is always produced by breath ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper remedies, caretnUy prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, i should produce the mosi happy results? Du ring eighteen years' practice, manv thous ands, suffering from diseases of Ihe lungs i ar.d thioai, have been under my care, and 1 have atfected many remarkable cures, even j alter the sufferers had been pronounced in | the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer latal disease.— ' My treatment of consumption is original, aud founded on long experience and a thorough ! investigation. My perfect acquaintance with i the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to , distinguish readily the various lorms of dis | ease lhat simulate consumption, and apply ; the proper remedies rarely being mistaken j even in a single case. This familiarity in connection with cettain pathological and mi ctoscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve ' the lungs from the effects ol contracted chests; to enlarge the chest, purity the blood, imparl to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone I to the entire system.

THE reoent trials at Read —Wkvjing have endorsed the cur- of public opinion, and confirmed the verdlet of more than 200 acoi 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 26th of February all the members of the Committee met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in them) and were perlectly satisfied that all was right.— The day following, the burning took place, under the superintendence of the Committee. After a fair and impartial burning for five hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson was first opened, the Sale being on fire in side, and the contents partially consumed, while the contents in the Sale of Messrs. Farrels & Herring were in good condition, and iitLfire inside." Raffing, March 2, 1857. jl p FELIX ) (Signed) P. N. COLEMAN, > Com. A. H.
