just as we do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases it is always present, whereas in Asthma

which manifests itself in periodic attacks OF

but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as we'll as In health.
Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms Of this disease En-.

of Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold 10 o

They are more liable to fall into Consumption
because they have the Asthma Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not dangerous dis

great numbers lose. their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes
Without courage and perseverance nothing
Is curable. But with these, aided by proper
and sliillful treatment, Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased.
Persons desiring treatment by this system Of
practice can use the remedies at home as well as
at our office, and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from businefs whatever.
Every case of Asthma is curable Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise In being
cured before they return home.
