my chair MY difficulty of breathing, and my
suferings were so great at times, that for hours to-
gether my friends expected each hour would be
my last. During the prst six years | have had
the aid and attendance of some of the, most cele-
brated physicians, but have received no perna-
nent benefit, and but little relief at length
had the good fortune to procure DR.. Curtis Hyge-
ana or lnhaling Hsgean Vapor and Cherry Syrup.
AT the timeI first obtained it, was suffering
under one Of my most violent attacks, and was
in great distress, almost sufocating for want oI
breath. In less than len minutes from the time
j applied the Inhaler 10 my stomach, and took q
teaspoonful of the Cherry Syrup, l was relieved
ina great measure from the difficulty of breath

continued it with the greatest possible benefit,
and am now comparatively well. God only

Of the treatment, physician remarks;-It is ev-

must come in direct contact with the whole OF
