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.

TRUTH IS MIGHTY, $ MUST PREVAIL.
Report of the Committee appointed to
superintend the burning of the Iron
Safes at Rending, Feb. 27th, 1857.
REAPING, March 4th.
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. Lartls's j
store lor public examination, after thoy were
first examined and marked by the Commit
tee. 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.

Extract from Ihe Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On the 2(ilh of February all the members
of the Committer met to witness tho Safes
and books and papers, (placed in them) and
were perleclly satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, Ihe burning look place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
After a fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Walson
was first opened, the Ssle being on fire in
side, and Ihe contenls partially consumed,
while the contents in the Safe of Messrs.
barrels & Herring were in good condition,
*nd no fire inside."

LOTTERIES.
THF. well-known Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, ol which 11. FRANCE & Co. are
the managers, are chartered by the state nf
Maryland, and a commissioner elected by
the people, who is swonv to superintend and
certify that everything connected with them
is done in a strictly honorable manner, and
thai the interists ot panics 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 hsve a leg;l right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by special law in thai
state. A lottery is drawn every day of the
momh. If no particular class is named, or
ders are filled in the first drawing to take
place alter ihe communication comes to
hand. The prices of tickets vary from St

th e money lor the same is received wi:h the
order. The drawings are upon the principle
of one number on each ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,)and Ternary combination. Prizes
vary in amount from 820 to SIOO.OOO. All
