CONftIMPTION,
'■ AND AIX DISEASES OF TliE LUNGS
4 n.l THOATT are positively curable by in
(relation, which convoys ih<' remedies to
! ihe entities in the linigs through the air pas
sages, and coming in direct contact with ilio
disease, neutralizes Ihe lubercnlar mailer,
allays lire cough cnusee a Iree and oy ex
iiectcvslion, tresis ibe lung", purifies Ihe blood,
Imparls renewed vitality to ihe nereons sys
tem, giving that lone and energy so indis
pensable tor ihe restoration of health. To be
able io slsle confidently that Consumption in
curable by inhalation, is to me a source ol
unalloyed pleasure. It is • muoh under the
control ol medical treatment as any Utter
formidable disease; ninety otti of every hun
dred cases can be cured in ihe fitst s'.ages,
and fihy per cent, in the second; but in the
third singe it is impos-iblo lo save more than
five per cent., for ihe lungs are so cut up by
the disease a* to bid defiance lo medical
skill. Even, however, in tliu last stages, in
tiHl.itinn aflords extraordinary rebel to Ihe
suffering snendirg ibis fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety five thousand per
sons in the United States alone; and a correct
calculation shows that out ol the present pnp-
I nl.iinn of the earth, eighty millions ure des-
I fined lo fill the consumptive's grave,
j Truly the quiver ol death lias no arrow so
! la'al as Consumption. In all ages it lias been
j the great enemy ol life, for it spares neither
I age nor sex, but sweeps ofT alike the brave,
the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.—
| By the help of that Supreme Being, liom |
! whom eomelli every good and perleet gift, I
1 win enabled in offer lo Ihe articled a pcrrna
! iient and speedy cure in Consumption. The
| first canso ol tubercles is Irom impure
i blood, and llm immediatn effect, produced
j by Iheir deposition in the lungs, islo prevent
| the free admission of air into the air cells,
I which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then surely it is more
I rational to expect greater good from rr.edi
nines entering the cavities of the lungs than
Irom those ml ministered through the etoiti
ach; Ihe paiienl will always find Ihe lungs
tree and the breathing easy alter inhaling
remedies. Thus, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constutilionally,
and Willi more power and certainty than rem
edict administered by the stomach. To prove
the poweilnl and ditect influence ol this
i mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
I will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew mitt
-1 ulcs, paralyzing ibo entire nervous system, so
i that a limb may be amputated without the
1 s'ightesi pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas w'dl destroy I tie in a lew hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when tainting or apparently dead.—
The odor ol many nl the medicines is per
ceptible io the skin a lew minutes after being j
inhaled, and may he immediately delecled i
in ilie blood A convincing proot ol Ihe
constiliilmnal cflccls ol inhalation, is Ihe faot I
thai sickness is always produced by breath
ing foul tor. Is not this positive evidence ,
thai proper remedies, carelully prepared and I
judiciously administered through ihe lungs, I
should produce the most happy iettlis Du- j
ring eighteen yeats' practice, manv tbotis- ,
amis, suffering lio.it diseases of the lungs
hi.il throat, have been under my care, anil I I
have affected many remarkable cures, even j
alter the .offerers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies me thai J
consumption is no lunger a laial disease.— |
My treatment of consumption ts original, anil !
founded on long experience and a thorough j
investigation. My perleet acquaintance with j
the nature ol tubercles. No , enables me to |
distinguish readily Ihe various terms ol dis- i
case that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken i
even in a single case. This familiarity in j
connection with certain pathological an.' mi- 1
croscnpio discoveries, enables me to relieve j
the lungs trom ibe effect* el contracted chests;
to enlarge the cheat, purity the blood, impart |
to it renewed vitality, giving enargy and tone
to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any '
part of the United States and Canada* by
pa'ients communicating their symptoms by j
letter. But the cure would be more certain
il the patient should pav nie a vicit. vvhieb 1
would Rive me an oppor'ntiity to examine !
the lungs and enable tne to prescribe with
' greater eertamlv. and then the cure could be
effected without mv seeing the patient again.

i^.'.;< ing have endorsed the cur-
tout of public opinion, and
confirmed the verdict of more than 300 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Hur

Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On the 2fith of February all the members
I of the Committee met to witness the Ssles
and bonks and papers, (placed in them) and
were perlecily eaiiehed that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
Altera fair and impartial burning for five
hours, ihe Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Ssfe being on tiie in
side, and tho contents partially consumed,
while the contents in the Sate of Messrs.
Farrels & Herring were in good condition,
snd no rtte inside."
