why Asthma Can ne Cured.

ING chleI reason for believing that Asthiis
can DC cured Is found in the nature of the dis
ease Itself. 1t lacks many Conditions that
are present In diseases classed by ali author:

conviction that their ills must be borne to the

Inc medical knowledge of to- day rejects
conclusion so devoid OF hope. it regards
Asthmaas susceptible Of thorough, complete
eradication. Patient investigation has been
rewarded by the discovery that difficulty of
breathing, ora closing OF the passages to the
lungs, Is not merely local disturbance. but
tne visible sign OF disease that has its origin
elsewhere. This knowledge gained, it be-
came evident that inhalants, and all form of
local medication, were wrong inprinciple and
1rutless as to permanent results. The next
step In investigation led to comparison of
the blood constituents OF asthmatic persons
with those of persons in health. Here mis-
croscopic science was called upon for aid and
revealed unerringly a vitiated condition of
blood In oil subjects of Asthma. Attention
drawn in this direction, remedial agents

proper blood elements. The search was "a.

been found, 1t was argued that there must be
IN The treasury OF nature its antidote. That
faith has been justified. Asthma has been
conquered and forever taken from the cat
egory Of incurable Affections.
The reasons for believing that Asthma can
be cured, 1t will thus be seen, are dedueed
from the facts that the disease itself presents |
no evidences Of incurabiity; that erroneous |
theories OF its causes have been abandoned.
that its origin has been clearly discovered:
and last, that medical science has combined |
remedial agents whose effects are in harmo-
ny with the latest developments in medical
discovery.
These reflections have been suggested |
through the success that has attended the |
treatment OF Asthma by Cones Asthma Com |
querOr. Its efficacy in cases Of notable oh
stlnacy and supposed incurability has ELECTED
much interest and comment, both among
subjects OF the disease and men of acknowl. |
edged skill in medical science. The evidence
adduced In behalf Of the remedy is SO yolu-
mlnous and OF so respectable q character as
to force conviction oft merits and its power
