THE CRISIS.
BY “BARNET.”
“ In the fflfdrt of life xre are in del t.”
•' Base is the slate that pay#l”
Yankee Doodle’s gone to smash,
With all his notes protested.
And Johny Bull has owned himself
A party interested;
Vnchi Sain’s securities
Are rolling in npon him,
And any man who holds a share—
The Lord have mercy on him I
Yankee Doodle, long ago,
Was quite an honest fellow,
And owned a good supply of brains,
Although his hair was yellow ;
Pumpkin pies were his delight,
And cider filled his glasses;
Beauty unadorned he wed.
And rode behind jackasses.
Yankee Doodle, hide your head 1
You have changed your colors,
Once yon worshipped God nlone,
But now you worship dollars ;
With a “ lady” by your side—
Fashion’s greatest evil—
And a costly *• fancy cab.”
You’re driving to the devil.
Wall street used to be the place
Where people worshipped Mammon ;
But now they change their pions tune,
And bend the knee to gammon;
Erie “ stock ” could once be sold,
Whoever chose to “cram ” it.
But now the holder’s sold himself,
And Erie quotes at “D—n it'.”
‘“fitock ” in banks was all the rage,
And any one would buy it;
But Barnum now would buy the man
Who had the pluck to try it.
And those who own a stock in bank
Are mighty full of cboler,
Because their “stock” is kept so safe,
They cannot get a dollar.
Months ago, the hue and cry
Was “ handsome s]»eeulation;”
But now the great financial term
Is quick “repudiation.”
Papers talk of 'confidence”
To be considered funny :
But people d—n the “ confidence,”
And only ask for money.
Ladies are the only ones
Who do not feel the “ pressure,”
They till the bankrupt merchant’s store,
And purchase double measure.
Oh, hold your tongues 1 you Britishers,
About your Mrs. Toodle;
She can't bey-in to hold a light
To Mrs. Yankee Doodle I
Yankee Doodle coolly rays
" The trouble is all ended,”
When ev’ry merchant prince has “failed,"
And ev’ry bank “suspended ;"
lie thinks that “something should be done,”
But w ho will undertake it
When titty cents will start a bank.
And twenty-five will break itt
Yankee Doodle’s gone to smash,
With all hi# notes protested,
Because, it' bank and railway stock,
His money was invested:
If Johny Bull has Yankee bonds,
He'd better put them from han:
But if he hopes to realise—
The Lord have mercy on him!
A LIVE “SUBJECT.”
A THRILLINC SCENE IN A DISSECTING BOOM.
[The value of the following brief, but thril
ling narrative, consists in its being vouched for
as a fact! The fearful event luw caused, we
are informed, the most intense excitement
among the very few who have an intimate
knowledge of it. and strong efforts have been
made to suppress the affair from pu'u.i -notice.
We present the intelbg’tice in the exact shape
in which we received it, exclusive oi names.—
We might have given it a better literary dress,
but fact requires no extraneous decoration.)
There a.e sjiJeds in every medical man's
history, cacn oi which comprises a lifetime of
horror. Only three -hurt weeks ago X was one
of the gayest students ot medicine and surge
ry in the United States. To-day—well, let mo
not anticipate.
Two years have elapsed since I was sent
from Mobile, by my fatner. to study medieine,
at the North. I listened to my first course of
lectures, in Philadelphia, and there made the
acquaintance of Professor , who is, prob-
ably, the beit demonstrator, in physiology, that
ever taught the young idea how to shout, aho
pathicully, on this side of the Atlantic. 1 was
fortunateenough to become upartienlar favorite
ite enough to become a particular favorite ot
of his. and was introduced by him. with an es
pecial flourish, to one of the clevmest surgeons
in—l think, the world. His name is . 1
will call him the Professor, however. He is
one of those individuals for whom you atonce
conceive a great dislike, or a worlds, fil par •
ty, and it was the latter I, at the first time wo
met. felt for him.
He was a strange being; it least he appeared
so to me, upon our first meeting, and forever
afterwards. Oftentimes he drank deeply , and
while nndor the influence of drink, he would
let fall curious hints concerning "blighted
hopes,” “the rascality of kindred,” and“tho fol
ly -of supposing any affection sprang from the
ties of consanguinity.” On one of those com
municative occasions, he told me a heart rend
ing history of family experiences. I gathered,
by piece-meal, from his conversation, the fact
that one of his own blood had fronted him
heartlessly, and driven him, by fraud of the
grossest character, from bis native place to
this country, penniless and friendless.
I ought to say, m pauant, that his drinking
bouts were conducted strictly upon the geutle
manly plan, and were seldom or never made
known to the public or even to the majority of
those who itmlced among bis immediate friends;
.and furthermore, I should remark that he is
well advanced iu years, although no doubt you
know that already.
"My evil spirit is npon me.” he would some
times say to me, and thou ho would illustrate,
in his conduct and manner, the most singular
phases of hypochondria I ever witnessed.
Jt appears that he was born in the town of
•C , (I must be guarded, for 1 am now vi-
olating confidence.) and was unfortunate e
nough, considering the laws, which give the
elder brother ectrytiuii'j, to be ushered into the
world, after his brother John. For this/><.»•<
he felt the intensest affection. To him he con
fided a history of his hojies; to him he looked
more than tu his infirm father for advice; to
him he communicated a narrative of his love,
and of his successful wooing. Thu maiden of
his choice was beneath him in wealth and sta
tion; but his brother approved of that choice,
and be was content. It is necessary to my ob
ject, in penning this narrative, only to state
that the elder brother seduced the girl; rob
bed, by a traud of the basest character, het
honorable lover of all his means, (also reducing
the old father to penury, by forgeries.) and
then decamped, taking tlie girl along, to Italy.
“Did you never tako vengeance upon the s>
duccr!” 1 inquired when he related these fact
tO Hie.
“1 did not regard either of them ns being
worthy of my anger.” he replied, and I uevet
followed them an inch."
“Did you ever hear from tliem J” I queried.
■“• Yes—several times. The last news 1 got
was to the effect that she had become sham
less and besotted, and was living in a condition
of public infamy in Paris. Ci course he had
kit her.”
“Ami he ?”
“Had become a gambler; some wrote to me.
a thief [Here he shuddered.] Cwxtein it w«s
that he had squandered all his ill-gotten
means.”
This was all I could gather of his early and
domestic history. But to the point of my com
nitttiication.
Three weeks ago. the Professor was to ex
plain to ns all (a class of students) a certain
i condition of the human stomach, and he was
to do this practically in the dissecting room.
There w as a di pnte as to the propriety of some
of the late Dr. Marshall Holl s teachings, with
reference to the division of the nervous sys
tem. aud the Professor was to settle the dis
! pnte, scalpel in hand. The division of Dr.
Hall, permit me to say, arranges the nervous
\ system into three sectionsa-die cerebral, or
sentient voluntary; the true spinal, or excito
motor, aud the ganglionic, or nutrient, or sec
retory.
The Professor is one of the most skillful of
i lecturers, and a precise and handsome demon
strator. Bis devotion to the anatomical branch
es of medical science amounts almost to a mo
nomania. The patience with which he will
work around and elal orate the smallest prepa
ration for his cabinet is spider-like.
Connected with the mooted questions con
cerning the stomach, were others u Inch it is
unnecessary for me to describe; but they made
' it imperative that the body, to be dissected,
-shuulil be that of a male adult somewhat aged.
The night arrived. We were all in our dis
secting-room apparel. Ibe body entirely nude,
aud completely covered with a cloth, as is the
custom, lay npon the table, an J we impatient
ly awaited the Professors arrival.
Thi conduct of students in the dissecting
room is not, as I presume the most of your
readers know from the many able medical
sketches yon have published, particularly dig
nified. In fact, it is (in view of the sad proofs
of our wretched helplessness and mortality,
spread around.) frivolous, disgusting, and ut
terly at variance with the scene, and the legiti
mate purposes of the assemblage. Hude jests,
profanity, the intemperate use of ardent spirits,
pipe-smoking, etc., are practiced and indulged
iu by all, or nearly all. On this night we were
iu the wildest spirits, and when, soon after the
hour appointed, the Professor entered, he found
us engaged in a most animated series of laughs
ut the spectacle of a lighted cigar stuck be
tween the lips of a half dissected negro.
The X’rofessor appeared to be as joyful as the
students. He regaled us with several anec
dotes more pointed than polite, but calculated
to inspire the heartiest mirth. I perceived
that he was in his best mood. There be was,
a perfect picture of the man of science, unbend
ing, for the moment, from the dignities of his
station, so as to insure a feeling of ease to those
who had congregated to receive his instructions.
And ease in the presence of the preceptor, kt
uie tell you, is very serviceable to a pupil.
“ It is astonishing.” lie said, as he prepared
himself for the business of the night, “ how
soon we get to be familiar w ith tlie relics of
mortality. Habit is everything. The first
time 1 was introduced to the dissecting room.
1 was compelled to bite a piece of human flesh,
that being considered, among my companions,
a rite of initiation that could not be dispensed
witii. The sensation ot horror 1 experienced
cannot bo described. I vowed mentally that 1
would never enter such a revolting place again,
but in three months 1 was the must reckless of
the members of all the classes. A'oic 1 handle
the dead as if they were mere bales of cotton.
Disease in every shape 1 tiice without fear.
Spectacles of the most appalling character pass
by me, leaving no impression worth mention
ing. And this, gentlemen," said he, raising his
voice slid approaching the table whereon lay
the subject, “this faculty of conquering our
weaknesses is what makes us valuable as physi
cians. Nerve! that, young gentlemen, is our
greatest aid in difficult practice. Learn to sup
press every approach to nervousness—school
yourselves to view the severest sufferings with
adamantine firmness—never betray the slight
est fear, aud, with hard study to buck you,
there can bo nothing to retard your progress
iu the noblest of all tlie learned professions. ’
Here he made the usual sign to the janitor,
and that official partially removed the cloth
from the siilyect—the Professor standing, then,
with bis l ack towards the table.
“Our first business,” ho resumed, “is with
the stomach.”
We gather, d around him full of anxious ex
peetat.on.
" You will pay particular attention to me,”
he Continued, baring t.hu scalpel, and half turn
ing towards the table—“tire first incisions are
very important,”
V « cuiicenuatod our vision upon the corpse
—he looked steadily at ut.
“1 will now,” he resumed, seeing our atten
tion directed upon his words, and movements,
•’lay open the body directly beneath the re
gion ol the diaphragm.”
He now faced about full at the table, and
li.ted th# scalpel, lie paused an instant. We
gazed, all earnestness, upon the body. The
scalpel descended. Scarcely had it touched
the lean, lank, scraggy and miserable relic of
mortality , ere there was a fearful change. The
most perfect silence reigned in the room. The
scalpel a second time touched the body, and
then, as if the instrument had been a galvanic
battery, the supposed corpse, w ith a counten
ance must horribly contorted, sprang up and
seized tire Professor by the gow n. aud then foil
back quiescent. A glance of horror and recog
nition .seemed to pass between the " subject”
and the Professor. He, as if str. ck by light
ening, staggered back, with a loud cry, or rath
er shriek, and stood, in an attitude of despair
and wild terror, gazing vacantly into the air.
Before we could recover from onr terror and
despair, he had fainted.
We looked at the body : the muscles of the
face were working—those of the limbs were
twitching convulsively, and y et. as after-inves
tigation proved, it um» dead. Why it should
have miulv this .strange manifestation is not to
be resolved into a matter of certainty. Due of
the physicians connected with the institution
say s that he has witnessed the same phenom
ena among the bodies of those who died sud
denly in tits, as well as ofthose who were slain
by cholera. Heaven only knows the reason of
the terrific and curious demonstration! But
th • strangest part of my story remains to ba
told.
Wo naturally supposed that the Professor
swooned from iright. We applied restoratives,
audtiually he exhibited in Heat ions of conscious
ness. Wa explained to him that the show of
life given by the poor, faded form ujron the ta
ble waspuicly spasmodic, and fallacious; but
he incredulously shook his head, muttered - It
w as the hand of God," and relapsed into insen
sibility. A second time we restored him to
his senses, aud his first words were:
" Remove the subject! Hide it from my
sight!” and then, as if again horror stricken,
ho fell into violent convulsions.
We remained near him until he seemed to
have recovered from the effects of the scene
enough to be left iu charge of one watcher.
Before we retinal, however, the explanation of
the Professor's extreme affright at the scene of
horror was made. Ihe revelation (for such it
was) was given under a pledge ofseeresy—a
pledge extorted from me by the surrounding
circumstances. The corpse into which the
Professor was about to plunge the scalpel was
that of kit brother !
How or when he had reached this country
is not known. Bui it is know u. that after earn
ing an unenviable notoriety among horse jock
eys. gamblers, and the victims of profligacy
generally , he gradually sank into the min- of
degradation until he became a dweller in a den
•>f thieves well known to the police. Hen- he
was seized with disease, and deprived of hi*
accustomed strong potations, delirium tremens
was the consequence. He was kicked into the
street—attempted to Commit a highway rob
bery—was arrested, tried and condemned to
the State’s prison. Before reaching there,
however, he was to all appearance dead, aud
w as in that condition conveyed to the purveyor
of "subjects," and so brought to our dissecting
room.
The College (in which we do not reside) is
for the present elosed. The remains u hicli
greeted tlie horrified vision of the Professor
which sprang from the same loins as his own
body—which he had often enfolded in Lis arms
—and in the integrity of the heart that anima
ted which he had oiice placed the firmest reli
ance—were silently placed in a neat coffin, and
deposited, not to be disturbed again, I hope,
until the day of resurrection, in a secluded spot
In cemetery.
I send you my name, as a pledge of the truth
of what 1 have written ; but you must not dis
close it. I have no excuse to offer for making
this awfol affair public, other than that the
terrible impression 1 received haunts me con
tinually. and this seems to be a good way of
partially relieving my mind of it. I intend to
quit the “profession.” orratherto abandon my
studies. The shock I have experienced would
forever disqualify me for successful practice.
The cause of the Professor's present danger

to by the press is hereby explained.—A”. K

GOING HOME WITH A GIRL THE FIRST TIME
We were between sixteen nnd seventeen
! years of age. when the event about to be rela
ted transpired, and as v description of our per-
' sonal appearance at that time is absolutely es
' seutial to the point of our story, we will give
it us concisely as the subject will allow. In
reference then to that period, to say that we
were green in the usual acceptance of that
term, would give the reader but a poor idea of
the figure we displayed. Bather imagine a
i tall, lean, cadaverous, swarthy looking chap,
with legs like a pair of tongs, a countenance
I about as expressive as a plate of Dutch cheese,
j a month that came very near making an island
of all the head above it. a face, covered w ith
turze that looked very much like the down on a
newly hatched gosling, with a gait that w ould
; lead a beholder to suppose that w e designed to
travel down bothsides of the street at the same
time, and yon have a correct daguerreotype of
Jeemsin tlie seventeenth year of his age.
One dark gloomy night in the mouth of De
cember, we chanced to be at a “spelling
■ school” not a thousand miles from Baldswin-
• ville, while our eyes fell on a "fairy form'
' that immediately set our susceptible heart in a
i blaze. She was sixteen, or thereabouts, with
bright eyes, red cheeks, and cherry lips, while
, the auburn ringlets clustered in a wealth of
profusion around her beautiful head, anil her
person, to our ravished imagination, wa- more
perfect in form and outline than the most fault-
i less statue ever chis.’ed by the sculptor's art.
As we gazed, our feelings which had never
aspired gillward before, were fully aroused.
: and we determined to go home w ith her that
I night, or perish in the attempt.
1 As soon as school was diinissed, and our
I “ lady love” suitably bonneted and cloaked,
■ we approached to offer our services as contem
plated, and we then learned an important les-
I son, viz: the difference between resolving and
doing. As we neared her, we were seized with
a partial blindness —red. green, blue and y el-
i low lights Hashed vpon our vision, and appear
ed and disappeared like w itches in a phantas
magoria—our knees smote together like Bels
: hazzur s when he discovered the handwriting
upon the wall, while our heart thumped w ith
I apparently as much force as if it were driving
teupenny nails into our ribs. We, iu the
meantime, managed to mumble over something,
which is perhaps known to the Recording An-
■ gel, but certainly is not to us, at the same time
poking out our elbow as nearly at right angles
w ith our body, as our physical conformation
w ould admit.
The night air blew keenly, which served in
some sort to revive us, and as our senses re
turned. what were our emotions on finding the
cherished object of our first love, clinging to
our arm with all the tenacity a drowning man
is said to clutch a straw. Talk of ely Slum, or
sliding down greased rainbows, or feeding on
German flutes, what are sieh “phelinks” in
comparison w ith those that swelled our bosom
nigh unto the bursting of our waistcoat but
tons! Our happiness was sublime sublimity,
sublimely sublimated, and every person who
lias felt the divine throbbing of a fledged love
principle, fully understands the world of bliss
Couched m the fourth, tilth, sixth and seventh
words at the commencement of this sentence.
Well, we passed on pleasantly towards our
! Sally's home, talking of love and dove, and dart
and heart, until so eouragous hud we become,
that we actually proposed to go in and sit
awhile, to which our Dulcinea very graciously
assented. Alas for us! how soon we were to
be reminded that " the course of true love nev
er did run smooth.”
bally bad a brother of some ten summers,
who accompanied us all along the way. and
who was in wonderful high spirits at the idea
1 of his sister’s bating a beau, ami would walk
, around us frequently, giggling in the height of
liis glee, ami eyeing us as closely as if ourself
and bally were the world renowned Siamese
I tw ins, and he was taking his first look.
Bill, by the way, was a chubbed, stubble
' beaded boy, whose habiliments would have
; made the fortune of any two dealer# in mop
i rags.
At length we reached the bars, and while we
I were letting them down, Bill shot past us. aud
tore for the house as if pursued by a thousand
bulls of Basban. He flung open the door with
a bang, and exclaimed at the top of his voice:
'Mother! mother! Jim Clark is coinin'
. hum with bail!”
“ Is he.'” screamed the old woman in reply ;
“ wal, I declare! 1 didn't think the sap-head
knew enough!”
A TRUE LOVE STORY.
We propose to tell a little love story, which
is so pretty and romantic in its details that
we would suppose it a fiction, but for the good
authority upon which we have obtained it.
borne fifteen or sixteen years ago, in the
I'udeilaud. a young man named Hing and a
young girl named Weenu loved each other
very hard and wanted to marry. A tightnc'-
in the money market, however, forbade the
bans; so. after considering the matter, the
lover kissed his sweetheart, swore a true-lut -
era oath to come back and marry her in good
time, aud came to the I uited btates to Seek his
fortune.
lie worked like a good fellow, and prospered;
ami after saving up a good sum he tlew back on
the wings of love to Germany. But a terrible
disappointment awaited him. His intended
bride was gone !
bhe had not taken “cold pisen," nor eloped
with a tinker; but weary of her lover's long
absence, and despairing of liis return, she had.
. like the brave little sweetheart that she was.
set out for the United btates. determined to
find him. and enter into that united state w hicli
is the El Dorado of all true lovers.
bo the young man came back to this coun
try, on the paddle wheels of love, ami with the
additional celerity whi< h the screw propeller
,ot anxious suspense always imparts, lie sought
his fair one everywhere; many journeys be
took, aud much money and much sleep lie lust;
but all to no purpose. And he ga'e up his
Christine as forever lost to him.
He came to New Orleans; aud Time, after
cooling aud petrifying the lava-current of his
first love, iiitrmlueed him to a fraulein. as fair
aud sweet, perhaps, os the lost Christine, lie
married her. and they went to Texas, where
they settled and were happy. Old Time con
tinued to trundle the years around. Two tine
children blessed the union, but a sad event fol-
- lowed in the death of the wife aud mother.
Even since then, or until recently, tlie widower
remained there, prosecuting his business and
taking care of his children.
Some week* ago he came to this city on bu
siness, and whilst here, found it necessary to
go to Cincinnati. He went there, to .-tup a
few days. One night, whilst he was returning
to his lodgings from some place of amusement,
he was alarmed by female screams not far off'.
He ran. w ith others, to discover the cause,
and found that the screams proceeded from a
girl about eight y ears old. lying helpless on the
tianqiiette. She was badly but not dangerous
ly hurt: and in reply to the questions of the
crowd, stated that her uncle, with whom -he
was living, bad come home drunk and violent,
causing her. in her anxiety to avoid him. to
fall out at a window.
As -he was a German girl, the widower Ding
natiually felt interested iu her. and plied her
. with all sort# of questions, a# to her paretUag<.
■ circumstances, &c. She told him, among other
things, that her mother's first name w as Chris
tine. That aroused an old memory, aud stimu
lated fresh inquiry. The girl gave such infor
mation, finally, as to leave no doubt in Hing's
. mind that her mother was his own long lost
sweet heart—his first love. Shu had been for
I some years a widow, and was living dependent
1 upon the charity of her deceased husband's
brother, on a farm ten wiles out in the coun-
I try.
Next morning Bing took the little girl out
there, and w as by her intioduced to her moth
' er. The recognition was mutual and instan
taneous. Os course there was a scene—all
I sorts of a scene. The old petriiiu ton of first
! love melted on both sides. The widow told her
; story. It was a good counterpart to that of
i the widower, bhe had searched and despair
| cd. and sought consolation in marriage w ith
I another. Time had made her mother to one
I child, and left her a widow.
The levers seemed to have met by Providcn
! tial direction, and w ere young again, and in
, effubly happy. Os course, the re-t may be an-
I tieipated. The couple reached this city a few
day sago, having married during the passage
down the river—tlie little girl of course being
along—and put off by the earl.ust conveyance
to Texas. —A. D. Crescent.

BEAU HICKMAN IN A NEW YOBK COURT.
The New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Mercury, has the following in regard
i to the distinguished financier. Beau Hickman.
Esq., who visted New York lately to regulate
i monetary affairs in that quarter :
"A rich scene cameoti' the other day in th.-
Marine Court. Your readers will remember
the celebrated Beau Hickman. Beau has been
j staying here for some weeks past, at the Flor
ence Hotel, where his bills are paid by his
I friends in the gambling and -porting lines. On
’ Thursday , Beau was siibpu-naed as a witness
■in the above Court. The attorney on tlie op
i po-ite side was a regular Tartar, lie prides
j himself upon his skill in examining witnesses,
and claims that he can confuse a witness more
I successfully than any other member of the bar.
: One of hi- methods of doing this is, when the
I witness hesitates, to snap at him like an angry
! terrier, worry and abuse Idin for his hesitation,
; and then seek to confound and embarrass him.
Before this man Beau was brought up for
' cross-examination. Beau took the stand, and.
after giving his testimony in a very mild and
timid manner, was handed over for cross-ques
tioning to this keen set lawyer. He had. in
his direct testimony, affirmed that the sharp
; lawyer’s client had “no money whatever.”—
The counsellor, with a look at Beau such aS u
hungry dog gives at a bone, said :
“How do you know, Mr. Hickman, that my
client had no money 1 Are you the keeper of
his pocket-book <”
“lie tul-1 mu so, sir.”
“When did he tell you so ?”
“This morning.”
"Where, sir (’
"In this very room.”
"Whut did he say, sir? Come, give us his
i very words—n> ne of your inferences, sir. '
"I don't like tu answer tbatquestiou.”
“Ho, ho! Bo you're afraid to answer that
I question are you ? I knew 1 should drive you
into a close corner. Come, out witn it, uiiduoiie
j ot your shirking here.”
“1 should rather be excused.”
"Then 1 snail appeal to tue Court to commit
■ you fur coutempt.
“Well, sir, ii i must answer, he told me this
' morning tuat tie hud uu inouey.”
“Wen, sir. wliat language uid he use ?”
“U by, 1 asked mm to loan me holla dolin',
aud he said fie couid ut, tor you had rouueu
I him of every cent oi Ins inouey, and if lie didn t
get out us your elutciiv. very soon lus children
w mild stiu ve."
Tlie lawyer Lad no further questions to ask.
A four us laughter arose m tlie court w Inch re
! quirttd some tumble tu cheek, and by the time
tne law y er hud collected las thoughts again the
ease was decided against turn.

INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION.
Bronchitis Laryngitis, and other Diseases of the
Chest and Throat, successfully treated by the Inhalct’
tion of Medicated Vapors and P&wdere, by Abeorp- \
tion and Constitutional dreatment, as practiced at
the Stuyresant Medical Institute, Aew lurk City.
TdE unprecedented success which has attended
this method of ti catnip diseases of the Lungs and
1 hroat, has induced us to depart from our usual course
aud avail ourselves of the Columns of the Press, io
order to bring it to the knowledge of such as may be i
laboring under, or predisposed to such affections.
The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for
the consumptive; the doctrine of the incurability of
Consumption having passed nehave indubi
table proofs in our possession fAaf Consumption in
all its stages can he cured : in the first, by tubercular
absorption ; in the secund, bv the transformation of
the tubercule into chalky and calcareous concretions;
in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded
to the opinions of the past may assert that, even now,
Consumption is incurable, such are behind the age.
To all, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that
the medicine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder
directly into the Lungs must be much more effective
than that taken into the stomach, where the diseases
do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con
sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in
haled in the form of Vapor are applied directly tu the
Lungs, where the diseases exist; the stomach is thus
left free tu aid in restoring health, by administering
to it healthy, life-giving food. There is du case so
hopeless that Inhalation will not reach ! The means,
too, are brought within the t each of all; the manner
of administering the Vapors being so simple that the
invalid is nevei -required tu leave home, where the
hand of friendship and affection adds so much to aid
the physician’s efforts.
The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration of medicine in such
a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in
the turni of Vapor, and produce their action at the
seat of the disease. Its practical success is destined
to revolutionize the opinions of the medical vvurld,
and establish the entiie curability us Consumption.
I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af
flicted with Lung Diseases to embrace at once the ad
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi
cines to the unoffending stomach. I claim lor inha
lation a place ainooki the priceless gifts that Nature
and Ait hath given us “that our days may be lung
in the land." and us the only Ark of Refuge for th*
Consumptive ; a method nut only rntkmul, bnt sim
ple and efficacious.
Such of the profession that have adopted Inhala
tion, have found it cflicacious in the highest degree,
and working wonders m many desperate cases; in
verity, a signa! triumph of uur art uver this fell de
stroyer us our species.
