CONSUMPTION, AND AI.L .DISEASES OF THE LUNGS A "d THOATT are positively curable by in rm halation, which conveys tbe remedies to the cavities in tbe lungs through the air pas sages, and coming in direct contact with the disease, neutralir.es the tubercular matter, allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex pectoration, heals the lungs, pur lies the blood, imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys tem, giving that lono ahd energy so indis pensable lor the restoration of health. To he able to state confidently that Consumption is curable by inhalation, is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is a much under Ihe control ol medical treatment as any Jlher foriniUsbto itismscj ninety out of every hun dred rases can be cured in the first stages, ■nd fifty per cent, in the secor.4; but in the ihird stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for the lungs are BO cut up by the disease as to bid defiance 10 medical skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in halation affords exlraordinary rebel to the snflerinc, attending this tearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per sons in ihe United Stales alone; and a correct calculation shows that nut of the present pnp uljtion of the earth, eighty millions are des tined to fill the consumptive's grave. Truly the quiver of deaih has no arrow so fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been the great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom comelh every good and perlecl gift, I am enabled to ofler to tbe a dieted a perma nent and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is Irons impure blood, and the immediaie effect, produced by their deposition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of air into the uir cells, which causes a weakened vitality through the entire system. Then sorely il is more rational to expect greater good from ir.edi cines entering the cavities of the lungs than from those administered through Ihe sioin ach; Ihe 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 certainly than rem edies administered by the stomach. To prove the poweitul and direct influence ol this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a few min utes, paralyzing Ihe enlita nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated without the s'ightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will rnuse Ihe system when fainting or apparently dead.— The odor of many of 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 eflecta 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 throut, have been under my care, and 1 have affected many remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been prononneed in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a fatal disease.— My treatment of consumption is original, and founded 011 long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me lo 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 lo it renewed vitality, giving energy aud tone lo the entire system. Medicines with full directions sent to any part of the United Slates and Canadas by patients communicating their symptoms by letter. But the cure would be more ceitain if the patient should pay me a visit, which would give me an opportunity lo examine the lungs and enable me to prescribe with greater certainty, and then the cure could be eflected without my seeing the patient again.

ITAS established a greater celebrity than has ever been obtained by anv othet Starch. This has been the result of its marked su periority in quality, and its invariable uni formity. The public may be aßtured of the continu- i ance of the high standard now established. 1 The production is over Twenty Tons daily, and the demand has extended throughout the whole of the United States, and to foreign countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and under a rigid system, they are able to secure a perfect and uniformity in thequality tnrough out the year. This is the great Desideratum in Starch-making, and is realized now lor the first time. The very beststtkrch Ihalcan be made,and no other, is always wanted by consumers, and while this will be supplied to them by the grocers, as soon as their customers have learned which is the bast, and ask for it otherwise they would be likely to article on which the largest profit cMfc' made. Mr. Kingsford has'been engaged in the manufacture of starch continuously for the last 27 years, and during the whole of the period, the starch made under his supervis ion has been, beyond any question, the best in the market. For the first 17 years, he had the charge of the works of Wm. Colgate & Co., at which period he invented the process of the manufacture of corn starch. Askjor Kingsford's Starch, as the name Oswego has recently been taken by another fac tory. T.

Potato Starch has been extensively packed and sold as Corn Starch, and has given false impressions to many, as to the real merits of our Corn Starch.

During 20 years of practice, I have' rescued from the jaws of death many thoussnds, who, in the last stages of the above mentioned diseases had bean given up to die by their physicians, which warrants me in promising to the afflict ed, who may place themselves under my care, a perfect and most speedy cure.

Potent Medicines, for there are so many inge nious snares in the columns of the public prints to catch and rob the unwary sufferers that millions have their constitutions ruined by the vjle compounds of quack doctors, or the equally poisonous nosttunis 7 nded as ' Patent Medicines.' 1 have carefully analyzed many of the so called Patent Medicines and find that nearly all ol them contain Corrosive Suttli niate, which of tho strongest prepara tions of mejeury and a deadly poison, which insleod of curing the disease disables tbe sys tern for life. I hree-fourlhs of the patent nostrums now in use are put up by unprincipled and ignor ant persons, who do not understand even the alphabet of the Materia Medica, and are equal ly as destitute of any knowledge of the human systeojf, having one object only it* view, and that to make money regardless of consequence.

Report of the Committee appointed to superintend the burning of the Iron Safes at Reading, Feb. 27th, 1857. Rkadinq, March 4th. The undersigned, members of ihe Commit tee, do respectfully report, that we saw Ihe two Safes originally agreed cpon by Farrels 6 Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side by side in a furnace, viz: The Sale in ose by the Paymaster of Ihe Philadelphia and Read ing Railroad Company, in his office at Read ing, manufactured by Farrels & Herring, and the Safe in use by H. A. I.antz, in his store, manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put in books and papers precisely alike. The fire was started at 8J o'clock, A. M., and kept up until four cords of green hickory' Iwo cords dry oak and half cheslnut lop wood were entirely consumed, the whole under the superintendence ot the subscribers, mem bers ol the Committee. The Safes were then cooled off with water, after which they were opened, agd the books and papers taken out by lh6 Committee and sent to H. A. Lantz's store for public examination, after they were first examined and marked by the Commit tee. The books and papers taken from Ihe Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were but slightly affected by tbe intense heat, while those taken from tbe Safe manufac tured by Farrels & Herring were, in our judg ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those taken from Evans & Watson's Safe.
