People are now being cured OF chronic
bronchitis-and cured permanently-oy

Institute. The Collins Building, corner

no particular difficulty, and at an assess

tents are expected TO pay-the remedial
inhalations and medicines being all in
cluded in that nominal fee-rate.
This may seem surprising. Doctors nave
been complaining for a thousand years
that they couldn't cure bronchitis. But
this has been because they didn't know

The usual method is-not to send healing
vapors down the windpipe TO the burning
bronchia-but to send arsenic and OPIUM
solutions, etc. down the breadpipe into
the stomach. thence to be carried up and
down the whole live body and be diffused
