To be able to SKIP confidently that Consumption is curable by inhalation, is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much tinder the control.ol medical treatment as any jther formidable disease; ninety out of every hun dred cases can be cored in the first stages, am! fitly per cent, in the sedor.d; hut in the 'third stage it is impossible to save mora than five per cent., for rhe iuuge are so cut tip by the disease as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in halation atlords extraordinary reltel 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 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 fatal as Consumption. In all ages it lias been the great enemy ol life, (or it spares neither age nor sex. but sweeps off alike Ihe brave, the beautiful, the graceful, anil Ihe gifted.— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom comeih every good and perlect gift, I am enabled to ofler to the afflcled a perma nent ard speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause ol tubereldk is Irorn impure l-lood. and the immediate effect, produced by their deposition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of air into the air cells, which causes a weakened vitality through Ihe entire sys'ern. Then surely it is more rational to expect greßter good from nedi cinet entering the cavities of the lungs than from lliosit administered through Ihe stotn och; the patient will always find the lungs free and the breathing easy after inhaling remedies. Thus, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it act- constitutionally, and wnli more power and certainty than rem e-lier administered by thestotnaoh. To prove Ihe poweitul ami direct influence ol litis mode of administration, chloroform inhaled u ill entirely destroy sensibility in a tew mm tt'es, paralyzing the enure nervou- eysiem. so that a limb ittai he amputated without the s'tghtost pain; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy lift* in a few hours. The in lilt t tsli nil ol unimonia will muse the system when tainting 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 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 thai ptoper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously ailniiiii.-ieicd through ihe lungs, slinnhi produuithe it-.-t happy results? flu. nog oiel- yenr.-' practice, innnv thou-, ands, suffering frOiii diseases of Ilia lungs and throui. have been under my cure, and I have altered many retniirkuhla cures, even •jlier Hie stiff rers had been pronounced in the last stage-, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a laial disease.— My treatment ofConsumption is original, and founded on long experience mid a thorough investigation. My perleel acquaintance wiili the nature of tubercles, &c , enables me lo distinguish readily ihe various lorrns of dig. ease that simulate consumption, and apply ihe pr -per remedies rarely being mistaken even in a single case. This familiarity in connection vvitli certain pathological und mi cioscopie discoveries, enables rue to relieve ilu lung- Irons die effects ol contracted ehe-t; hi enlarge the chest, purity the blood, impart to il renewed vitality, giving energy ami ioiio lo the entire system.
