Mr.. Henry White, was for The space Of two years
afflicted with a severe Asthma, which proceeded
from wet and cold: all the worst symptoms Of the
complaint foIlowed--ta tishlness across the chest,

alarmngly as to prevent his following any business,
having lost his speech, and being threatened with
immediate sufocation, until coplous expecloraion
would come on, which only gave him relief for
few hours. The physicians who att ended him, pro.

be left at his house, after which he procured some
