CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL .DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
aid THTOAT ate positively ourable 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,
allay* 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 tone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restorative of health. To be
able to stste confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, ie to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under thn
control ol medicel 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 longs 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 tearful scourge, 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 the quiver of death has no arrow so
faial 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 that Supreme Being, from
whom eometh every good and perfect gift, I
am enabled to ofler to the utile led s perma
nent at.d speedy cure in Consumption. Tho
first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
the tree admission of air into the air rells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational to expect greater good from ir.edij
pines entering the cavities of the lungs than
from those administered through the stom
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
tree and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. Trite, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
and wtth more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powettu! and direct influence ot this
mode of administration, chloroform inhalsd
will entirely destroy sensibility in a tew min
utes, paraly zing the emirs nervous system, so
thst a limb may be amputated without the
a'tghtest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas wdl destroy lite in a few hours.
The inhnlatien of ammonia will ronse the
system when fainting ot apparently dead
The odor ot many ol the medicines it per
ceptible in ihe skin a tew minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately delected
in the blood. A convincing proof of ihe
constitutional effects ol inhslation, is ihe fact
lhat sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. la not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the longs,
should produce the most happy results? Pa
ring eighteen years' practice, manr thous
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and 1
have affected many remarkable cores, even
atier the sufferers had been pronounced in
the lasi sieges, which fully satisfies me thai
consumption is no longer a tatal 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, end apply
the propet remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This tamitiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me ic relieve
the longs from the effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
to the entire system.

The undersigned, members of the Commit

the Safe in use by H A. Lentx, in bit store,
manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put
in books and pepere precisely alike.
The fire wys Marred at 84 o'clock, A. M.,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and balf chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the superintendence of the subscribers, mem
bers of the Committee. The Safee were then
cooled off with water, after which they were
opened, egd the books and papers taken out
by tbe Committee and sent to H. A. Lentz's

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 (Ires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is tha only safe that will not bum.
Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Salss at Reading:
"On the 26th of February all the member*
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and book* and papers, (placed in them) and
were perlectly satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, Ihe burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
After a fair and impartial burning for five
hnura, the Safe of Messrs. Evans ft Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fire in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while Ihe content* in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrela & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

And endorsed by over 60 of the best men
of Reading.
The above Safe* 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 used-up "inside Iron Door Sala
raander."
FARRELS & HERRING,

Only makers in this State of Herring's
Patent Champion Safes.
The attempt made by other partieeto bol
ster up the reputation of a Sale which ha*
lailed signally in accidental fires in Philadel
phia, (Ranstead Place,) by taking one out
at an agent's store, [II. A. Lantr.] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one ol Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its true reward. Herring's Sate
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only relittble Safe now made is Herring's,
ol which over 16,000 are now in aciuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
irithout n single loss.

LOTTERIES.
THE well-known Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, ol 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 manner, and
that the interists of parties who reside at a
distance are as well protected aa if they
themselves were present at the drawing.—
Another fact which the managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons have a legs! right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, at
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
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 take
place after the communication comes to
htnd. 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 prineinle
of one number on each ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,)and Ternary combination. Frizes
vary in amount from S3O to SIOO,OOO. Ail
orders for tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchase!* immediately alter it is over.
