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.

For the rapid cure of coughs, colds, hoarse
neaa, honchitia, whooping nongh, aatbma

the bast remedy ever yet discovered for ev
ery variety of pulmonary disease. So wide
ia the field ol ita usefulness and ao numer
ous the cases of ita cures, thai almost every
set-lion of the country abounds in persons
publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases
of the lungs by its use. When onre tried its
superiority over every other medicine of its
kind ia 100 apparent to esrape observation,
and where its virtues ae known, the public
no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections
of the pulmonary organs which are ince

nay almost any attacks of disease upon the
Lungs or throat, ate arrested and thus are
saved many thousands every year from a
premature grave. No family should be with
out it, and those who do neglect to provide
themselves with a remedy which warde off

PURE
OSWEGO STARCH.
(FORTHELAUNDRV.)
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. KfNGSFORD & SON'S
OSWEGO CO/iN STARCH,
(For Puddings, Ifc,)
Has obtained an equal celebriiy with their
Starch for the Laundry. This article is per
fectly pure, and is, in every reßpect, equal to
the best Bermuda Arrow-Root, besides hav.
ing additional qualities which reader il inval
uable for the dessert.
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.
From its great delicacy and purity, it is
coming also into extensive use as a diet lor
infants and invalids.

ense, recovery is certain, and in a shorter time
than a permanent cure can he effected by any
other treatment,even after the disease has baf
fled the akitl of eminent physicians and resist
ed all the means of cure. The medicines are
pleasant without odor, causing r.o sickness
and free from mercury or balsam. 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. Secret dis
eases are the greatest enemies to health, as
they are the first cause of (Consumption, fcicrof.
ula anu many other diseases, and shoulJ be a
terror to the human family. As a permanent
cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of
the cases falling into the hands of incompe
tent persons, who not only fail to cure the
diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the
system with mercury, which, with the disease, 1
hastens the sufferer into a rapid consumption.
But should the disease and the treatment
not cause death specdilv and the victim mar
ries, the disease i- entailed upon children, who
are born with feeble constitutions, and the
current of life corrupted hy a virus which be
trays itself in Scrofula, 'Teller, Ulcers, Erup
tions and other Blleciions of the skin, Eyes,
Throat and Lungs, entailing them to an early
gtave.
I Self-ahuse is another formidable enemy to
I health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue
I of human disease* causes so destructive a drain
5 upon the system, drawing its thousands of
i victims through a few years of suffering d >w n
to an untimely grave. It destroys the Ner
vous system, rapidly wastes.away the energies
of life, causes mental derangement, prevents
'he proper development of the system, dis
qualifies for marrisge, society, business, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind* predisposed to
consumption and a train of evils mote to he
dreoded than death itself. With the fullest
I confidence I assure the unfortunate viotims ol
self-abuse that a permanent and speedy cure
can be eirected, and with the abandonment of
ruinous practices my patients can be restored
to robust, vigoious health.
The afflicted aro cautioned against the use of
! 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

TRUTH IS MIGHTY, MUST PREVAIL.
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.

confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci

Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On Ihe 26th of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and paper*, (placed in them) and
were perfectly satisfied that all waa right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
Altera fair and impartial burning for five

to "born up" or.e of Herring's, (hnlf as thick)
has met with its Hue reward. Herring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
"the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,

and more than 200 have been tried by lira
without a single loss.
