IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL -DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
A ltd THOATT are positively corable by in
halation, 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
pecto-ation, heals the lungs, purifies the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that tone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restoration 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 of medical treatment as any ether
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cored in the first s'.ages,
and fifty per cent, in ttie 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 rebel to the
suffering attending this tearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per
sona 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
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, the graceful, and the gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cometh every good and perfect gift, I
am enabled to offer to the afflcted a perma
nent acd speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause o( tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediste effect, produced
by their deposition 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 rr.edij
cinea entering the cavities of the lungs than
from those administered through the stom
ach; (be patient will always find the lungs
free and the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. Thus, 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 noweilul and direct influence of this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a few min
utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without the
s'ighlest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia wilt rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many of the medicines is'per
ceplible in the skin a few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately detected
in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutions) eflecls of inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Ia not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the longs,
should produce the most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and Ibrout, have been under my care, and I
have affected many remarkable cures, even
after the sufferers had been pronoonced in
the last slsges, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer s lata! 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., ensbles me to
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease thai simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological ant) mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
the lungs 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.
Medicines with full directions sent to sny
part of the United Slates and Cauadas by
patient* communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the cure would be more ceitain
if the patient should pay me a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine
the lungs and enable me to prescribe with
greater certainty, and than the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
THE recent trials at Read
ing have endorsed the cur
rent of public opinion, and
confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively Ibat "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not burn.
Extract from the Committee's Report on
tbe Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On tbe 26tb of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
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.
After a fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fire in
side, and tbe contents partially consumed,
while the contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Far re Is & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

And endorsed by over 50 of the beet men

The above Safes can be inspected at 34
Walnut Street, where the public oan satisfy
themselves of Hie great superiority of tbe
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de-
I feated and used-up "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."
FARRELS & HERRING,
34 Walnut St., Philad'a.
Only maker in this State of Herring's
Patent Champion Safes.
The attempt made by other parties to bol
ster up the reputation of a Safe which baa
failed signally in accidental fires in Philadel
phia, (Ranslead Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, fH. A. Lanlz,] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those (hey sell)
to "bum up" one of Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its due reward. Herrijig's Sate
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over IS,OOO are now in actnel 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 stale 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 interista 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 to. is, that all persons have a legttl right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by speoial 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 (he communication comes to
hand. The prices of tickets vary from Si
to #2O. No tickets are, however, sent unless
lb e money for the same is received with the
order. The drawings are upon the princinle
of one number on each ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,)and Ternary combination. Prizes
vary in amount from #2O to #lOO,OOO. All
orders for tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately after it is over.
