CONSUMPTION^
A ND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
aid THTOAT ate positively curable by
inhalation, which conveys Ihe remedies to
the cavities iu the lungs through the air pas
sages, and coming in direct contact with Ihe
disease, neutralizes Ihe tubercular* matter,
allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex
pecto-olion,heals the lungs, purifies the blood,
imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that tone and energy so indis
pensable for the restorative of health. To be
able to slste confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to mo a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under Ihe
medical treatment us any other
ninety out of every hun--
deed cases can be cored in Ihe first stages,
am! fifty per cenk in the second; but in the
third stage it is impossible lo save more than
five per cent., for the lungs are 60 cut up by
the disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief lo the
suffering attending this fearful 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 Ihe earth, eighty millions are des
tined lo fill the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
ratal as Consumption. In ull ages it has been
Ihe great enemy of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave,
the beautiful, ihe graceful, anil the gifted.—
By the help of that Supreme Being, from
whom oometh every good and perfect gift, I
atn enabled to offer lo the afllctecl a perma
nent ar.d speedy cure in Consumption. The
first cause of tubercles is from, impure
blood, anil the immediate effect, produced
by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
the free admission of air ipto lire sir celts,
which causes a weakened vitality through
the entire system. Then snrely it is more
rational to expect greater good from tr.edij
nines entering the cavities of tbe lungs than
Irom those administered through the stom
ach; the patient will always find the lungs
free ami tho breathing easy after inhaling
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by the stomach. To prove
the powcilul and direct iulluenca ol this
mode of administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min
utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
that a limb may be amputated without the
shghtest pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning
gas will destroy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
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 detected
in Ihe blood. A convincing proof of the
constitutional efltiMs of inhalation, is the fact
that sickness is alwaysproduced, by breath
ing foul air. , Is not (In* positive evidence
thai ptoper remedies, carefully prepared and
judiciously administered through the longs,
should produce the most happy results? Du
ring eighteen years' practice, many Ihous
anils, suffering from diseases of the lungs
and throat, have been under my care, and I
have affected many remarkable cures, even
liter the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stages, which fully satisfies mo that
I consumption is no longer a latal disease.
My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perfeot acquaintance wiih
the nature of tubercles, &0., enables me lo
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper rtrinedies rarely being mistaken
even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi
croscopic discoveries, enables me lo relieve
the lungs frotn the effects of contracted cheats;
In enlarge the chest, purity the blood, imparl
to it renewed vitality, giving ouorgy and lone
to the entire system.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
THE recent trials at Read
ing have endorsed the cur
rent of publit opinion, and
confirtrfcd the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not burn.
Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Safes at Reading:
"On the 26th of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and'papers, (placed in them) and
were perfectly satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
After a fair and impartial burning fnr five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fire in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while the contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrels & Herring wore in good condition,
and no fire inside."

And endorsed by over 50 of the best men
of Roading.
The above Safes can bo inspected at 34
Watowtifilieet, wircre the. public can satisfy
themselves of the great superiority of the
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated and used-up "in#tde Irou Door Sala
mander."

The attempt made by other parties to bol
ster up the reputation of*a Safe which has
failed signally in accidental firos in Philadel
phia, (Uanslead Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, ["H. A. Lantz,] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up"or.eof Herring's, (halfus thick)
has met with its Hue reward. Herring's Safe
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 15.000 are now in actuel u*e,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.
