PULMONAS.

A SURE SPECIFIC FOR THROAT AFFECTIONS. Pulmonas operate by inhalation, which is pronounced by scientists to be the only practical and direct method of treating all throat, chest or lung complaints, and the highest medical authorities contend that the organs of respiration (larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes and lung cells) cannot be promptly or permanently acted upon except by volatile agents, susceptible of free mixture with the air inhaled and penetrating with it into the very web and woof of the tissues. Pulmonas are pure gum pastilles, containing a fixed quantity of the best beechwood creosote, and are manufactured under the supervision of experts, thus ensuring the public against inexact dosage. Pulmonas are as palatable as a medicinal preparation can well be made without sacrificing any efficiency. They are not a sweetmeat, but the palate soon becomes accustomed to the taste. The therapeutical value of beechwood creosote for pulmonary complaints has long been recognised by the medical profession, as it possesses the very strongest antiseptic and healing properties on the mucous membrane, and taken as pulmonas, has absolutely no harmful effects on the patient. The difficulty which has hitherto presented itself has been to administer creosote to the greatest possible advantage. Pulmonas administer the medicament in pastille form direct to the lungs, combining with it certain balsamic constituents, whose efficacy increases the action of the creosote. Pulmonas, instead of being immediately swallowed, should remain in the mouth until completely dissolved, during which time the air inhaled carries the volatile emanations of the medicament into the bronchial and lung tissues. Moreover, the small quantity of creosote absorbed into the stomach is normally dissolved by the saliva, combined with certain principles which render its action upon the mucous membrane much more certain, without causing irritation. These physiological phenomena alone can explain the immediate relief and constant improvement felt by those who use Pulmonas —such as patients afflicted with colds on the chest, sore throat, long - standing coughs, quinsey, hay fever, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, hoarseness, throat irritation, laryngitis, influenza, pneumonia, and consumption, and those whose occupations expose them to irritating vapours and dust. Pulmonas (1) cause the vapours of creosote to penetrate into the respiratory organs; and (2) in cases where it is necessary to reach the other mucous membranes (through the action of the stomach) is introduced in such a diluted state that it is easily absorbed without causing any disorder of the digestive organs. Pulmonas, when taken in the early stages of consumption, check the further progress of the dread disease, and should be steadily persevered with until the patient recovers full weight, strength, appetite and no more bacilli be found in the spitum. In the more advanced stages they not only cure the cough, ease expectoration, and diminish the secretion of sputa, but also arrest the ravages of the bacilli, stimulate the appetite, induce repose, and thus raise the general body tone without causing any disagreeable symptoms.
