A Card from Dr. James M. Jarrett, of the 

 New York Lung Infirmary. 



My connection for llie f)tist eij,Hit years with the 

 nhove Institution, as Chief Physician, and a twelve 

 years' coiut^e ot' steady (ievrtion to the cure of Pnl- 

 "inonary Consumption and its i<indred diseases, togeth- 

 er with my unrivalled opportunities and advanta^je of 

 pathoJogical research— aided not a little hy a pertect 

 wysiem of Medical Inhalation— \m?~ enabled me to ar- 

 rive at a decisive, direct and successful course of treat- 

 ment for the positive and radical cure of all diseases 

 of the Throat, Lun<rs, and AirPassofj^es. By Inha- 

 lation, the vapor and curative properties of medicines 

 are directly addressed to the diseased organs and the 

 integument. 1 do not advise the use of Medical In- 

 li'ilation of. any kind, to the exclusion of general 

 treatment: and alihough I consider it a useful adju- 

 vant in the proper management of those tearful and 

 otten fatal diseases, yet I deem it very necessary that 

 each patient should have the benefit of l)oth general 

 and local lieatment. The success of my treatment 

 in the above diseases, and the high character of the 

 Institution over which 1 have so long had the honor 

 to preside, are too well known to need any eulogy 

 or comment from me. At the solicitation of many 

 j)rivate and professional friends, through whose phi- 

 lanthropic aid the above charity has been long and 

 Jiberally supported, and alter due consideration, 1 

 have concluded to make such arrangements as will 

 bring the benefits of my experience and treatment 

 within the- reach of all,"^and not confine myself, as 

 heretofore, to those only who entered the Infirmary, 

 or who were able to visit nie at my oince. Hoping, 

 therefore, that the arrangement will give entire satis- 

 faction, both to my professional brethren and the ptib- 

 iic, 1 would respectfully announce in conclusion, that 

 / can now be consulted personally or by letter, on all 

 diseases as above, and limt the tnedicines, the same as 

 used in the Institution, prepared to suit each individ- 

 ual cage, Inhaling Vapors, Medical Inhalers, Sfc, 

 &.C., will be forwarded by express to any part of the 

 United States or the Canadas. 



Terms^My terms of treatment by letter are as fol- 

 lows, viz : $12 per month lor each patient, which will 

 include medicine sufiicient lor one month's use; also 

 luhahng Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparatus. Pay- 

 ment as follows: $6 to be paid to Express Agent on 

 receipt of the box of Medicine, and the balance, ($6) 

 at the expiration of the month, if the patient be cured 

 or is entirely satisfied with the treatment. Patients, 

 by giving a full history of their case, and their symp- 

 toms in full, can be treated as well by letter as by 

 personal examination. Patients availing themselves 

 of' Dr. Jarrett's trealmeiir may rely upon immediate 

 and permanent relief, as he seldoms has to treat a case 

 over thirty days. Letters for advice promptly answer- 

 ed. For further particulars, address

PROSPECTUS. 



Volume Fourteen begins Sept. 11, 1858. 



Mechanics, Inventors, Manufacturers and 

 Farmers. 



Thfe SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has now reached 

 its Fourteenth Year, and will enter upon a New Vol- 

 ume on the 11th of September. It is the only weekly 

 publication of the kind now issued in the country, and 

 it has a very extensive circulation in all the States of 

 the Union. It is not, as some might suppose from it.s 

 title, a dry, abstruse work on technical science ; on 

 the contrary, it so deals with the great events going 

 on in the scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, 

 as to please and instrtict every one. If the Mechanic 

 or Aitisan wishes to know the best machine in use, or 

 how to make any substance employed in his business, 

 if the House-wife wishes to get a receipt for making a 

 good color, (Sfc, if the Inventor wishes to know what 

 is going on in the way of improvements, if th^ man- 

 ufacturer wishes to keep posted with the times, and 

 to employ thfe best facilities in his business, if the 

 Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep himself' 

 familiar with the progress made in the chemical labo- 

 ratory, or in the construction of telegraphs, steamships, 

 railroads, reaper^!, mowers, and a thousand other ma- 

 cfiines and appliances, both of peace and war— all 

 xhe'^'G desiderata, can be found in the Scientific Ameri- 

 can, and not elsewhere. They are here presented in a 

 reliable and interesting form, adapted to the compre- 

 hension of minds unlearned in the .higher branches of 

 science and art.
