he able to. elate confidently that Consumption in
rumble by inhalation, in to me a source of total
.ley NI pleasure, It is no much under the con
trol tit' medical treatment us any ether formid

ses can be cured in the first stairs, and fifty per
cent. in the second ; but in the third tinge it in
impossible to save more than live per cent., Inc
the Lungs are sc eat lip by the disease no to hid
defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the
last singes, Inhalation affords extraordinary re
lierto the nutruing attending this fearful scourge
which annuelly destroys ninety-live thonsand
persons in the United States alone ; and a cor
rect caiculation shows that of the present popu
lation of the earth, eighty minims are destined
to fill the Consumptive's graves.
Truly the quiver of death !tenni, arrow so fa- I
tal as Consumption. In all ages it hie been the
great enemy of life, for it Spnres neither age nor
see, Let sweep oil alike the brave, the beauti
ful, the graceful and the gifted. ISy the help of
that Supreme Being from whom cosneth every
gond tied perfect gilt, I em enabled to offer to
the afflicted n permanent and speedy core in
Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is
from impure blood, and the immediate eliect pro
duced by their deposition in the lungs is to pre- !
vent the free admission ot air into the air cells,
which causes n weakened challis through the
entire system. Then surely it in more rational
to expect greater geed Wm medicines mitering
the rarities of tie haw than those administered '
through the stomach; the patient will always
find the lungs free end the breathing, easy, after
luhating remedies. Thus, Inhalniion in a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally and .
with snore power and certainty than renCli.s
administered by the stomuch. To prove the pow- ;
oriel end direct int:eon.e of thin made of admin.
intretion, chloroform inhaled will entirely
do
stroy sensibility itt tt few minutes, paralyzing
the entire !tenons system, so that u limb may be
atnpntated without the slightest pain; inhaling

few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse tho SVS

dor of ninny of the medicines is pace ptible in
the sktn a few minutes after bring inhaled, and
may he immediately detected in the blood. A
convincing proof of the constitutional effects of
inhalation, is the Met that sickness lo always pro •
tuned by breathing foul air—is not this positive
critic., that proper melodies, carefully prepar
ed and judiciously administered titre' the lungs
should produce the happiest results 1 During
eighteen years' inactive,
.ituttly thonsands direr
big lioni'diienses of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and I have effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had
been pronounced in the last stages, which lolly
satisfies mo that consumption is no longer a fit-
MI disease. My treatment of consumption is
original, and founded on long experience and a
thorough investigation. My perWct acquaintance
with the nature of tubercles. &le., enables me to
distinguish, readily, ilia various forms of disease

remedies, rarely being mistaken even in n single
case. This familiarity, in economical with tes

'Talkie' of spree, boys, put me in
mind o' my young days—l should rather
guess I was in for them myself, them
times !'
This was said by an old man, whom we
will introduce as Mr. James Waddle, or
rather 'old Jim Waddle.' Everybody,
(except the reader,) knows him and his
penchant for yarn spinning. It is the
evening of a military training day. There
are a goodly number, after the company
are dismissed from duty who arc loun
ging around, and - nrimv all gather around
the aforesaid Jim, to hear the yarn to
which he had already began the, prelude
and only awaits somebody to urge him to
go on. This there are enough to do.—
lle then enquired what they would have—
,one of his huntin' or courtin' sprees!'—
The boys unanimously demanded the lat
ter. Then, after requesting that none of
them should laugh till after he got through
with a few preliminary hems, he began
[I wish I could report in his inimitable
language verbatim et literatim.]
'When I war a boy, you know, daddy,

was the magnum buinctimest ! When I

That was the last I Icnow'd ull waken-

And instnd of handing down to future
generations the glorious privileges herpes
entail upon them the curse of dragging
cut a miserable existenc6 under the iron
hand of tyranny.
lf, then, moral training is of such vast
importance in our civil government, nn
earnest inquiry after the best system, is
the duty of every good citizen. We do
no propose the sympathetic -system of Dr.
Adam Smith ; the oscillating moral code of
David 11 uute ; the laughing. system of
Thomas Paine; nor yet the dancing, sett
timental, and licentious morals of Rossetti'.
Nor can we trust the more plausible sys
tem of Warburton, Bentham and others,
who make .conduciveness to happinc,
the ground of moral obligation, and cue
found the idea of the right and the useful."
This low system of p.. 1.
paps more dangerous
codes of morals advoc.it, .1 hy Ilion of lower
claims to respectability. it excludes the
idea of Clod Irom civil government, rejects
h.s higher Into, as a rule of action, and
substitutes in its place the wisdom of loan.
Phis it shall be our duty to show, has ne
ver been equal to a healthy performance
of political duty in the absence of I)tvine
direction.
But we want for our schools a moral
system, as durable as the throne of God,
Whether considered in the abstract or con
crete.
And it will now be anticipated that, we
prefer the Bible as.a clas;.book in all our
schools. Notwithstanding many of our
modern Ciceros, claim the right to educate
it generation to govern the world, where
the puritanical friends of the ►iible hove
left the stage of action; and who repudiate
the sacred volume as a thing too obsolete
for their refined literary taste, and there.

others, impudently, banish it front our

schools.
Modern philosophers, so-called, think
that they have made the grand discovery,
that the mind or soul is the result of phys
ical organi,nion, and that the bible is a
cininimyly devised fable, ivitich should be

whole civilized world. But it is believed
by others that this is a qu,stion of last

well point us to a sturdy oak, which has

to prove thus progressed and endured,
without the genial beams of the sun, or
the fructifying atmosphere with which it
is surrounded. As well might they point
us to man in the most refined condition :a

he had arrived at his present state of per

blind chance, as to attempt to satisfy the

under any obligations to them for their

hope that their sophistry will tell upon the

not observed it, effects upon the civilized
