ASTHMA CAN BE CURED.
A Noted Physician Will Prove
This to Sufferers In
Ottu11Wa.

The astonishing statement that
Asthma can be cured, coming from So
well known authority as DR.. Rudolph
Schiffmann, will be of interest to
asthma sufferers. The experience of
most Asthmatics has been that little
if any relief has been afforded them
by the methods heretofore employed
and in fact, the disease has up to
now been regarded as incurable. This
noted physician has, however after a
lifelong study of Asthma and kindred
diseases, discovered a remedy which
not only instantly relieves the sever
est cases of Asthma, Hay Fever and
Bronchitis, but has actually cured
thousands whose cases had been pro-
nounced incurable. So complete is
DR.. Schiffmann's confidence in his
remedy that he requests this paper to
announce that for the next three
days he offers a liberal sample
box of "Schiffmann's Asthma Cure"
free of charge to all persons applying
at Clark & Mollison's drug store, 101
North Court street.
DR.. Schiffmann believes that an ac-
tual test will be the most convincing.
and in fact the only way to overcome
the natural prejudice of thousands of
Asthmatics who have heretofore
sought relief in vain. Persons living
out of town will receive package
free by writing direct to DR.. R. Schiff-
mann, $40 Jackson street, st. Paul,
Mimi, before Sept 21st, and enclosing
a &c stamp.
