CATARRH And BRONCHITIS.
Hundreds Being Cured by Dr.. A. j.
Shores New System.
Breathing Balm and Healing
Oils Applied Direct Into the
Diseased Air Tubes.
Patients Are Now Being Cured Of
Catarrh aud ChPonio Bronchitis,
and Permanently Cured, by
Dr. A. J. Shores Co.

Doctors have been CONF mplaining for thou
sand years that they couldn't cure bronchitis.
But this has been because they didn't know
how, or hadn't means for applying curatives
locally. Bronchitis is 8 local malady; d1-
rectly accessible to curative inhalations; and
the only effective treatment is by an in
breathing of vaporiZed remedies of tran
scendent healing virtue till the sore and in
famed bronchial tubes are moistened by it,
or soaked in it, or effectually impregnated
with it, for the period necessary TO perma-
nently aliSy It's ini1ammatiOnS and perna-
nently abate it's pains.
The usual method is not to send healing
vapors down the w1ndpipe to the burning
bronchia, but to send arsenic aud opium so
buttons, etc, down the breadpipe to the
stomach thence to be carried up and down
the whole live body and be dlffused through
out the whole wide system.
This ZigZag doetoring isn't the right way TO
treat bronchitis, which is too firm and for
midable and strongly rooted q malady to be
lOosened or shaken by any such foolishnesS.
It must be got at locally, immersed in oily
vapors.
There can be no adequate and effectual
medication of diseased bronchial tubes ex-
cepting by the method pract ced by Drs.
SHORES & HOWE. The healing vapors
which they administer by inhalation are as
balm and ointment poured from cup directly
upon the feVefed brOnch1a. Their strong
remedial virtues are not wasted or lost by be-
ing uSeleSsiy ulnused throughout the entire
anatomy. but reach the place OF disease In their
abundance ana entirety-ln their full curative
potency-like a benignant saive upon an
ugly wound. Drs. SHORES & HOW ES easy
and complete mastery OF bronchial catarrh is
exciting national interest and drawing great
numbers OF sufferers TO Drs. SHORES &
HOWEsS parlors. 1t is simply because
the method they employ is the only method
by which the disease can be directly medi-
Gated with the freedom. fullness. potency and
abundance requisite to Its radical and per-
manpQI mastery
