PecuIinrities of Asthma.

The peculiarities of asthma are well
known. and one New York woman
thinks that she has more than usual
reason to complain of the vagarles Of
the disease. she had always lived In
the lower part of the city on one of the
avenues distant from the two rivers
and had suffered I'm no unusual degree
from asthma when the weather was
not unfavornble. The doctor was not
consulted when her husband bought Il
house in another part of the city, and
1t Is indeed doubtful If he could have
forescen the effect upon her of living
in the new ueighborhood.
1t took TIE sufferer only few hours
TO realize that 1t would be impossible
for her to live In the new house. which
was only II short distance from the
North river Her discomfort became
so great that she was compelled ut the
end of II week to give up all attempt TO
reside there. and the house that had
been built with so much care and cx-
pense had to be abandoned.
Another example of the vngarles of
asthma Is to he found in the case of n
New Yorker who Is comfortable enough
In this city 80 long as lie lives on the
upper stories OF n lofty hotel or other
residence building. but Is in great dis
