IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
A' nd THQATT ate positively curable by in
halation, which conveys the remedies to
j 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
j pecto'slion, heals the lungs, purifies the blond,
imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys
j lent, giving that tone and' energy so indis
! pensable lor the restoration of health. To be
: able to stale confidently that Consumption is
i curable by inhalation, is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control ol medical treatment as at 7 Jther
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty per cent, ill the second; but in the
third stage it is impossible to save more than
five per cent., for the luogs are so cut up by
the disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation 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 shows thai out of the present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty miijioris are des- j
lined to fill the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of dealt) has no arrow so
falal as Consumption. In all ages il has been
the great enemy of life, for il spares neither
age nor sex. but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, Ihe graceful, and the gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom corneth every good and perleel gift, I
am enabled to offer to the a file led a perma
nent ar.d speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tubercles is from impure
biood. and the immediate effect, produced
by their deposition in the lungs, is to prevei t
the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through
Ihe entire system. Then surely il is more
rational to expect greater good from
cities entering the cavities of the lungs limn
Irani those administered through the siom
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free and -the breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. Thus, inhalation is u local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powerlul 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 mat be amputated without the
s'tghlest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will desiroy I tie in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many ol the medicines is per
ceptible in the skin a few minutes afier being
inhaled, and may be immediately detected
in the blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is always produced by break
ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously adminisieied through the lungs,
should produce the most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, rnanv thous
ands, suffering fro.n diseases of the lungs
ar.d throat, have been under my care, and 1
have affected ninny remarkable eures, even
alter the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me that
consumption is no longer n latal disease.—
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perlect acquaintance with
the naiure 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 chest, purify the blood, impart
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 Canadaa by
patients communicating their symptoms by
letter. Gut the cure would be more ceitaio
if the patient should pay me a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine
the lungs and enable ma to prescribe with
greater certainty, and then ihe cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.

I Extract from the Committee's Report on j
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On the 26ih of February all the member* ]
of the Committee met to witness the Safe 9 i
and books and papers, (placed in them) and
were perfectly satisfied that all was right.— '
The day following, the burning look place, j
under the superintendence of the Comm iuee.
After a fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson !
was fir.-t opened, the Safe being on fiie in- I
side, and the contents partially consumed, |
while the contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrels & Herring were in good condition, ■

to "burn up" or.e ol Herring's, (half as thick) |

LOTTERIES.
THE well-known Maryland Consolidated
, Lotteries, ol which R. FRANCE & Co. are
the managers, are chartered by the stale of
Maryland, ami 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
thai the interists 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 legs I right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, at
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
slate. A lottery is drawn every day of the
mouth. 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 S2O. No tickets are, however, sent unless
lit e money lor 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
I vary in amount from S2O to 9100,000. All
orders for tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately altPt it is over..
