IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL JISEASES OF THE LUNGS
And THOATTate positively curable by in
halation, which conveys the remedies to
ihe cavities in she lungs through ihe air pas
sages, and coming in direct contact with tbe
disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter,
allays the cough, canses a free and easy ex
pecio-olion, heals tbe lungs, pur lies the blood,
imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giviug 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 ol medical treatment as any sther
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 luugs are so cut up by
the disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
huiation 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 shews 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
falal as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps ofT alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, anil the gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom cornelh every good and perfect gift, I
am enabled to offer to the afflcted a perma
nent at:il speedy cure in Consumption. Ttie
first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect, produced
by their deposiiion in the lungs, is to prevei t
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
cities entering the cavities of the lungs than
Irom 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 uertairity than rem
edies admininered by the stomach. To prove
the poweitul and direct influence ol this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min
utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb ma) be amputated without the
s'ighlest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many ol the medicines is per
ceptible in the skin a few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately delected
in the blood. 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
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the lungs,
should produce the most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and I
have affected many remarkable cures, even
alter the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stage', which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer a fatal 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, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
the lungs from the effects of contracted chests;
to enlarge the cbest, purify the blood, imparl
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any
part of the United States and Canada* by
ftaiienls communicating their symptoms by
etter. But the cure would he more ceitain
if the patient should pay me a vieit, which
would give ine an opportunity to examine
the lungs and enable me to prescribe with
greater certainty, and then 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 firse, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not barn.
Extrsot from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On the 26ib ol February alt the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and papers, (placed in them} and
were perlectly satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
Altera fair and impartial burning fur five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on tire in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while Ihe contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrela & Herring were in good condition,
ami no fire inside."

And endorsed by-over 50 of Ihe best men
ol Reading.
The above Sales can be inspected at 34
Walnut Street, where the public can satisfy
themselves of the great superiority of tko
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated and used-up "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."
FARRELS & HERRING,
34 Walnut St., Philad'a.
Only makers in this Stale of Herring's
Patent Champion Safes.
The attempt made by other parties to bol
ster up the reputation of a Safe which has
failed signally in acuideutal fires in Philadel
phia, (Ranstead Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, [H. A. Lsntz,] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one of Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its due reward. Herring's Safe
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
ol which over 15,000 are now in actuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.

LOTTERIES.
THE well-knuwn Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, of which R. FRANCE are
Ihe managers, are chartered by the slate of
Maryland, and a commissioner elected by
the people, who is sworn to superintend and
cettify 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 as if tbey
themselves were present at the drawing.—
Another fact which the managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons have a leg;I right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
slate. A lottery is drawn everyday of the
month. If no particular class is named, or
ders are filled in the first drawing to lake
place after the communication comes to
hand. The prices of tickets vary from SI
to S2O. No tickets are, however, sent unless
th e money for the same is received with 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 220 to 8100,000. All
orders for tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately after it is over.
