IMPORTANT RISCOVEII¥.~
CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL JISEASKS OF THE LUNGS
Ami THOATTate positively curable by in-
Italation, which conveys the remedies to
the cavities in the limits through the air pits
sages, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes tho tubercular matter,
allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex
pecto'stion,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 state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is a' much under the
control ol medical treatment as any ather
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cored in the first stages,
and fifty per cent, in the second; but in tbe
third stage it is impossible to save more than
five per cent., for the lutigs are so cut tip by
the disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation allords extraordinary rebel to the
suffering anendii gihts iratlul 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 till the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption, In all ages it has been i
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither i
age nor sex. but sweeps off alike the brsve, ;
the beautiful, the graceful, and the gilted.— j
By the help ol that Supreme Being, from ,
whom cometh every gnvMatul perfect gift, I
atn enabled to offer to the articled a perma- i
nettt at.d speedy cure in Consumption. The
first canse ot tubercles is Irom impure
blood, and the immediate effect, produced
by their deposition ttt the lungs, is to prevet t
the tree admission of air into the air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then sorely it is more
rational to expect greater good from ir.edtj
cine# entering the cavities ot the Inngs than
from those administered through the stom
ach; the 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 powettnl and direct influence ol this
mode ot administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew mm
ires, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without the
s'ightest pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system w hen tainting or apparently dead.—
The odor ot many ot the medicines is per
. eepiible in the skin a few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately detected
in the Mood A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
thai proper remedies, caretully prepared and
judiciously adminisiered through ihe Inngs,
should produc9lhe most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, manv ihous
ands. suffering from diseases of the lung*
at.d throat, have been nnder my care, and 1
have atfectcd many remarkable cures, even
at er the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last s'sge, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer a tatal disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thomagh
investigation. My perlect acquaintance with
the nature ot tubercles, tee... enables me to
'distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the propel remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connociion with certain pathological and" mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
the Inngs from ihe effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
to the entire system.
Medicine* with full directions sen! to any
pun ol the United Slates and Cauadas by
pa ienis communicating ibair symptoms by
lener Rot the rnre would be more certain
i! the patient shoold pay me a visit, which
would j;te me an opportunity to examine
the htr.ps anil enable me to prescribe wi b
greater certainty. and ihen the core could be
eriected wuboot my eeeine the patient again

' Report of the Committee appointed to
superintend the burning of the Iron
Safes at Heading, Ftb. 2t/A, 1887.
READING, March 4th.
The undersigned, membors of the Commit
tee, do respectfully report, that we saw the
| two Safes originally agreed upon by Farrela
& Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side
Iby side in a furnace, viz: The Sale in use by
the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Itead- !
ing Railroad Company, in his office at Read- \
ing, manufactured by Farrels & Herring, and
the Safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in bis store,
manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The tire was started at 84 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 ol the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled ofl with water, after which they were
opened, agd the books and papers taken out
by th 6 Committee and sent to H. A. Lama's
store for publio examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit
tee, The books and papers taken from the
Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense heat,
while those taken from the Safe manufac
tured by Fartels& Herring were, in our judg
ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more
than those taken from Evans & Watson's
Safe.

■ THE recent trials at Read
ting have endorsed the our
'rent 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 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 sat tailed that all was rigr.t.-
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 A Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fire in
side, and the content* partially consumed,
while the oenieiite in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrels & Herring were in good condition,
end no fire inside."

themselves of the great supeiiority of the
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated end used-up "inside Iron Door Sala

ble thickness, (different from those they tell)
to "burn tip"ot.eol Herring's, (halfas thick)
has met with itt ttue reward. Herring's Safe
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Sate now made is Herring'*,
of which over 15,000 are now in actual use,
and more than 200 have been tried by (ire
without a sin git loss.
