IMPORTANT DISCOVERY, CONSUMPTION <V ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS AND THROAT Fan t>o Cured by INHALATION. Which conveys the remedies to the cavatics in the ■lungs,' through 1 lie air-passages, and coming in direct contact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercular “matter, allays the cough, causes a free and easy expectoration, heals the lungs, purifies the blood., imparts renewed vitality to thejiervous system, giving that tone and energy so indispensable-for 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 as much under the control of medical treatment as any other formidable disease; ninety out of every hundred cases can be cured in the first stages, amt fifty per cent, in the second; but in the third stage it is impossible to save more than live per cent., for the lungs are so cut up by the disease as to hid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in tlie last stages. Inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the suffering attending this fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninetyfive thousand persons in the United States alone; and a correct calculation shows ttiat of the present population of the earth, eighty millions are destined to fill the Consumptive’s grave. Truly, the quiver of death has no arrow so fatal as Consumption. In all ages it lias been the great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the gracclul and the gifted, lly the help of that Supreme Being from whom cometh every good and perfect gift, 1 am enabled to offer to the afflicted a permanent and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediate effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to prevent the , free admission of air into the air-cells, which causes a weakened vitality through the entire system. Then, surely, it is more rational to expect greater good from medicines entering tho cavaties of the lungs than from those administered through tlie stomach; the patient will always find the lungs free amt the breathing easy,after inhalingremedies. Thus, Inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally. and with more power and certainty than remedies administered by the stomach. To prove tne powerful and direct influence of this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entires ly destroy sensibility in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so that a limb may he am putated without the slightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will arouse the system when fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many of the medicines is perceptible in the skin a few minutes after being inhaled, and may he immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always produced by breathing foul air—is this not positive evidence that proper remedies carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs slnuld produce the happiest results 7 During eighteen years’ practice many thousands, suffering from diseases of the lungs ami throat, have beeu under my care, and- I have effected many remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a fatal disease. My treatment of consumption is original, and founded on long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect aoquaifftance with the nature of tubercles, Ac., enables me to distinguish, readily, the various forms of disease that simulate consumption, and apply the proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even in a single case. This familiarity, in connection with certain pathological and microscopic discoveries, enables mo to relieve the lungs from tho effects of contracted chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the entire system. Medicines with full directions sent to any part of the United States and Canadas by patients communicating their symptoms by letter. But the'cure would bejriore certain if the patient should pay me a visit, which would give an opportunity to examine the lungs, and enable me to prescribe with much greater certainty, and then the cure could he effected without my seeing the patient again. All letters asking advice must contain a postage stamp. ADDRESS U. W. GRAHAM, IM. D., BOX No. 53. Office, 1131 Filbert Street, old No. 109, HXI.OW TWELFTH. Philadelphia, Penn.
