AND AI.L .DISEASES OF THE I.UNGS And TIIOATT ate positively curable by in halation, which conveys the romedies to the cavities ill the lungs through the air pas sages, and coming in direct contact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays din cough, causes a freo and oasy"ex nrcto-etinn, heals the lungs, purities the blood, imparls 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 u much under tho control ol medical treatment as nttr stlier formidable disease; ninety out of every hun dred raes etui be cured in the first stages, and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the third singe it is impossible to save more than five percent., lor the lungs are so cut up by the disease ns to hid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the Inst stages, in halation affords extraordinary rebel to the suffering attending this tearful 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- ! uloion of the earth, eighty millions nro des- ) tiiied to til! the consumptive'* grave. Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so fatal ns Consumption. In till ages u has been the great enemy oi lite, for it spares neither age nor sex. but sweeps off alike tho brave, the boauiiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom eotneth every good and perfect gift, I atn enabled to offer to the • filmed a perma nent at.d speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause ol tubercles is Irotu impure blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their deposition in the lungs, is to proven! the tree admission of air into the air cells, which causes a weakened vitality through the entire system. Then surely it is more rational to expect gres'er good from n-edij cities entering the cavities of tho lungs than twin those administered through the stom ach; the patient will always find the lungs free and the breathing easy slier 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 powerful and direct influence ol this mode ot administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew mitt ires, paralyzing the entite nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated without the shghtrst pain: inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy U'e in lew hours. The inhalation ot ammonia will rouse the system when tainting or apparently dead.— The odor ol many ol the medicines is per ceptible in the skin a tew minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional effects ol inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always produced by breath ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence i tlia: proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, should produce the most happy results! Du ring eighteen years' practice, manv thous ands. suffering from diseases of the lungs ar.d throat, have been under my care, and 1 have affected many remarkable cures, even slier the sufferers had been pronounced in 1 the last stage', which lolly satisfies roe that consumption is no longer a tatal disease.— My tre aimer. I 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 itistingu.sh readily the various form* of dis ease th*t simulate consumption, and apply ! the proper remedies rarely being mistaken even in a single esse This familiarity in connection with certain paihological and mi croscopic discoveries, enables me 10 relieve I the longs from the effects of contracted chests: to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone 10 ihe entire .-vsiem. Me. 1 nncf with full directions writ in *nv pan ot the l"nited States and Canada* by pattern* communicating their symptoms by iet'er. but the core would be more rnta.a if the pattern shock! pay me a visit, which won*d give me an opportunity in exam.ne the lungs and enabie me to prescribe w,th crea'er oertainte. and then the cnre e.onM be effected without rry eeemc the patient aca u.

The undersigned, members of the Commit tee, do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes originally agreed cpou by Parrels A Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side by side ir. a furnace, viz: The Sale in use by the Paymaster o( the Philadelphia Rnd Read ing Railroad Compnny, in his office at Read- ! ing, manufactured by Parrels & Herring, and the Sufe in use by 11. A. I.antz, in his store, manufactured by Evans & Watson., and put in books and papers precisely alike. Tho fire wqs started at 8i 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 tho superintendence of the subscribers, mem bers of the Committee. The Safes were then cooled oil with water, after which they were opened, agd the books and papers taken out by the Committee and sent to H. A.

The books and papers iaken Irom the Sale manufactured by Evans & Watson were but slightly affected by the intense heat, while those taken from the Sufe manufac tured bv Parrels & Herring were, in our judg ment, damaged fully filleen per cent, mora than those taken from Evans & Watson's Sufe.
