ASTHMA CURED.

What I suffered with Asthma for IL
years no human being can imagine.
From the first breath OF cold weather till
spring my life was torture. Frequently
l would have two attacks in ~ hours,
when for three hours at a time / could
scarcely speak or swallow, or get my
breath. Propped up in bed, unable 10
lie down, coughing and strangling, dur
ing these paroxisms it seemed that every
moment would be my last. The best
doctors and all the celebrated Asthma
cures did not give me even temporary
relief. l used six $500 bottles Of one
cure, but the first relief obtained was
in using ByczilfIH Balm That was in
September. 1888. / used four So cent
bottles during the winter following and
did not have one attack. Nor have
had a single attack during the past
twelve years always keep Brazilian
Balm on hand and at the hrst sIgn OF a
,old take It and am quickly cured and
all right. In TACT the Balm is tine doc tor

In the course Of long aud critical
editorial ON Brazilian Balm, which is
attracting such wide attention at the
present time, the Amey7cGR Trade
Journal, of Chicago, says; "Being thor
oughly familiar with the good points OF
this excellent household medicine, we
know that its record shows one long and
unbroken chain of cures from the day il
was placed upon the market, down TO
and including the present time. For
example, no physician on earth could
suggest or prescribe a more potent and
satisfactory specific for colds, Group,
catarrh, la grippe, asthma, Typhoid anil
scarlet fevers. etc, than is foano in Bra
lillian Balm.
'If our readers will select such mas
ter medicines as this, We have no disPo-
sition to question the wisdom of being
ones own doctor in the absence of I'D
worthy in person, for We know Of mas :
cases where IL has cured when even the
