Seeing it stated in your paper few weeks since, that, inhalmg the fumes of nitric acid had been found to cure the consumption-at my suggestion and request, worthy and in- telhgcnt man who has been for two years past in my employ, has, within the last eight days, given 1t a trial. As no directions accompa nicd your notice, the following course was adopted:-Under a handkerchief, enc end oi which rested on the head, the other left to fall down tver the breast, he held glass tum- bier, having lit about tea-spoonful of the acid; and breathed the fumes, thus prevent cd by the handkerchief from escaping, about halt ar hour at time, three times per day. he effect has been to relieve him entirely from an obstinate cough of many years stand ing, and which, for the last two moths, had been accompanied with all the symptoms oi a confirmed and rapid consumption; all which have, according to present appearances, dis appeared with the cough. How permanent this relief may prove, time must show. That others, laboring under the like affection, may be put in early possession of the above facts, and with hope that relief may be found therefrom, this communication is made by re- quest of the person above referred to.

 Yours, E. WHITE.
