WONDERFUL discovery has recently been made by Dr. Curtis, of this city, in the treat- ment of Consumption. Asthma, and all diseases of the Lungs. We referto Dr. CURTIS’S HY- GEANA, or INHALING HYGEAN VAPOR AND CHERRY SYRUP. With this new me- thod, Dr. C. has restored many afflicted ones to health, as an evidence of which he has innumera- ble certificates. S&S ing of the treatment, a phy- sician remarks, ‘“‘It is evident that inhaling—con- stantly breathing an seronatis, eeling vapor—the medicinal properties must come in direct contact with the whole wrial cavities of the lungs, and thus escape the many and varied changes produced upon them when infroduced intothe stomach, and subject to the process of digestion.» The Hy e- ana is for sale at ail the Druggists throughout the country.— NV.

Dear Sir: 1 think highly of Dr. Curtis’s Hyge- ana as a remedy in diseases of the throat and lungs. Having had some opportunity to testify its etfica- cy, I am convinced that it is a most excellent rem- edy, both the Syrup and the inhaling application to the chest. Prof. 8. CENTER writes us as follows : Gentlemen—I have recently had occasion to test your Cherry Syrup and Hygean Vapor, ina case of chronic sore throat, that had refused to yield to other forms of treatment, and the result has satis- fied me that, whatever may be the composition of our preparation, it is no imposit&er, but an excel- Tent remedy. 1 Wish, for the eeke cf the atficted, that it might be brought within t¢ reaeh of all. DR. JOHNS, one of the most ege%eated Physi- cians in New York writes as folleas: Dr. Curtis—Dear Sir—Having witnessed the excellent effects of your Hygeana or Inhaling Hy- co Vapor and Cherry Sey in case of Chronic ronchitis, and being much in favor of counter ir- ritation in affections of the throat, Bronchial tubes and lungs, I can therefore cheerfully recommend your Medicated Aparatus as being the most con- venient and effectual mode of applying anything of the kind I have ever seen.

Wile in this con- | dition I was carried to the watering places in Vir- ginia, Tennessee, and North Cerolina, but was not benefitied by any water to which I was taken. While on my way Lome I stopped a week at Ruth- erfordton, a sinal = in North Carolina, to the effect of some Chalyheate water in that About the last of the week I went intoa rug store to get some medicine fer my child and myself. There were several of the vi! physi- Clans in the store, and one of them seemed to (ake some interest in > § case, and, after asking me some questions, said he had been a —— and had greatly benefitted by the use of HOOF- LAND’S GERMAN BITTERS, prepared Re and he insisted thet I would try the Bitters. le also called the next day at my room, and in- sisted so much that I would try them that I asked him to me one botile. He did it, end I com- men: taking it as directed, and I was more ben- efitted by it thau all the water and medicine I had ever taken. After reaching home one of my neighbors came to me for a prescription end n icine, (he a dys- ») ard I gave him nearly all the Bitters I left, which effected much good in bis case. He bas often called on me for more of the same kind of medicine, saying he was more benefitted by it than any ether be Lad taken, but I have not been able to get ary more for kim er myself since ; will you, therefore, please ship me a dozen or more as soon as ible.
