A Question.

Can asthma be cured, and does it en-
danger life? In many cases it is entirely
durable. Even in aggravated forms it car
be greatly modified. and this latter from
persistent paroxysms tends to Degenerate
into organic heart disease or catarrhal con.
sumption and finally breaking down of the
air cells. 1t is therefore in cases fatal from
complications. Asthma may be inherited
arise from catarrh, dyspepsia, Bright's dis.
ease, etc. This point, however, is of no i'm
portance to the patient as compared to its
durability. The asthmatic suffers the horrors
of being almost choked to death in the
spasms, each attack being q veritable
struggle for breath; face anxious, pallid,
speechless and chest muscles rigid. The
above are some of the horrors hanging like
the sword of Damocles over the head of the
asthmatio, ready at any moment to be pre-
cipitated upon Its unfortunate victim.
In asthma, dependence on medicines
alone ends, as q rule, in disappointment.
Here natures forces. with diet, special ex-
ercises, combined with the internal treat
ment, add tenfold to its effectiveness. In
other words, treat the man and the disease.
Where can we find q more powerful agent
to draw out impurities. reduce fever, in
Examinations, quiet the nervous system, and,
on the other hand, 80 effective a tonic in
hardening the system, breaking up the
tendency to colds and equalizing the circu-
lation, when judiciously applied, as water.

ASTHMA AND DYSPEPSIA.
Dr. 8. Moore.
DEAR SIR-I wish to state publicly to
you how grateful feel for the wonderful
effects of your treatment In my case. 1 suf
fered over four years with asthma and was
also badly affected with dyspepsia. My
nights sleep was usually taken in sitting
posture propped up by pillows. Those who
have asthma will know what that means. I
took treatment from several general prac-
titioners without effect, and finally got to
believe my case incurable. Hearing Of
your skill as specialist I consulted you.
Ny progress was gradual, your system of
inhaling and outside treatment and sys-
tematic manner of handling my case gave
me confidence in you, and may add that I
am cured both of the asthma and dyspepsia.

the little life left in me to your care, and I

that dread disease. Sincerely yours,

growing worse from day to day, my friends
became greatly alarmed and 1 returned
home. We called in an experienced doctor,
who said had congestion of spleen, liver,
stomach, brain, and that my left lung was
badly congested. To my question, he said
my case was so serious and complicated that
he could give me no hope. Without en-
couragement or hope of recovery, and being
bedfast almost, had about given up, when
my friends suggested that I should send to
you. Like drowning man who snatches
at straw, determined to make another
effort, and, through the blessing of God and
the efforts of my skilled physician, was
gradually restored to good degree of
health, and / may add, to the great surprise

would say to those who are suffering from
any form of chronic disease that they would
