Mr.. EDITOR-Dear Sir: Ihave been
troubled with asthma for the past thir-
teen months, 80 bad as not to be able
to do a days work. and have suffered
"torments of the damned" The par.
oxysms were so severe that my life
was many times thought to be DIES.
paired of. l had tried everything, and
a great many physicians. In order to
get relief i had to resort to morphine,
until l had contracted the habit. ]
put myself under their electro-mag-
netic treatment. Now, after several
treatments, I am entirely cured OF my
asthma and the morphine habit, and

CURED OF CATARRH AND vARIcOsE
VEINS.
To THE PUBLIC: For ten years
have been troubled with a very disa-
greeable catarrh and bronchitis. fin
ally got so bad that had to give up
my business of ranching and riding
for my stock. The catarrh extended
to my lungs and stomach. My physi-
clans gave me up as incurable. Last
October came to Drs. Darrin, and
now, after three months treatment,
consider myself so far restored as to be
able to do all my own work. Before
treatment l had to give up horseback
riding, and could not attend to my
stock at all; now can remain in the
saddle all day without fatigue. MY
wife had also been troubled with drop
sy, milk leg and varicose veins, so che
could only walk with the greatest in
convenience, and it was painful to the
touch, and finally broke out in q run
ming sore. Drs. Darrin sent hsrmedi-
cfncs, sssti,-so ~ur sssa4 10Y, she is en-
tirely cured.
