Asthma Instantly Relieved.
Dr.. R Schiffmann Astounds the
Public with the Success Of
His Treatment.

Residents of this place were astonish-
ed by notifications in these columns
that celebrated physician, Dr. Rudolph
Schiffmann. would make public test o.
his remedy in this city on September
18th. He invited every man woman
and child suffering with Asthma to call
at Rowley & SHOWS Drug Store and OBJ
tain, absolutely free, a trial box of his
medicine. DR.. Schiffmann adopted this
novel way of introducing his treat
ment. believing that a free personal
test would be the best and only way
to overcome the prejudice and sceptic-
ism of thousands of estimates who
had given up in despair after going
through the whole range Of so-called
cures. He has in this manner proved
the efficacy of his remedy. and with
out asking the public to spend a penny.
DR.. Schimmann hopes that every suffer-
er in this town obtained one of his free
samples. He fears, however. that there
We're some few who did not. before
they We're all given out. In order to
give a fair opportunity to those who
have not yet used the remedy, and also
as a guarantee of good faith. he has
now requested this paper to announce
that he has arranged with the above
Druggists to refund the money to ans
person who purchases of them either
soc or $1.00 package Of Schifmanns
Asthma Cure between now and Octo-
Der 25th and finds that it does not do
exactly as is claimed for IT.; the only
condition being that they return not
less than three-fourths of the package
to them. DIR Schiffmann claims that In
every case of true asthma his remedy
will give immediate relief-usually
within fifteen seconds; always within as
many minutes 1t has positively per
manently cured thousands Of cases
which were considered incurable.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 25.-The Harvard
football practice was the hardest of
the season today; in fact, it begins to
look like real football now. The teams
as made up now are. of course, only
temporary Several men were tried at
each position. Greene and Sugden We're
both played at center. Riggs and
Greene were tried at left guard and
Barnard and I1einfelder at right At
left tackle Graydon and Robinson TOOK
turns, and Jones and Lawrence
snapped off at right tackle. Littig
Hutchinson, Burgess, Ives and Moler
played at full. Knowles, Kent and Piper
at right. Campbell and r. Noyes at left
half and Baldwin. DAILY and Marshall
at quarter. Captain Campbeu's APP
pearance at left half back again has
started a great deal Of speculation. and
it is not improbab BILE that he may try
the back field for a while.
