Her ASTHMA has BEEN CURED.
B. r. Hastings Tells Remarkable
Story Of Prof. Larson's Power.

The item In the Union few days
ago concerning the recovery Of Mrs
J B. F. Hastings Of 6l2 West Sixth
street from asthma under the care Of
Prof. Larson, has aroused wide spread
interest among Union readers. A re-
porter for the Union sought out Mr..
Hastings TO secure . more complete
statement Of Mrs. Hastings previous
and present condition for the benefit
for those who are similarly afflicted.
Replying to questions, Mr.. Hastings
said: my wife was suffering from
asthma and other complaints, which
practically confined her to the house
when we sent for Prof. Larson. Her
breath was very short and her heart
action was weak. Since beginning
the treatment her asthma has been
entirely cured and did not return dur
ing the recent bad weather or when
she took cold. The rheumatic pain
In her left arm has been entirely re-
lieved except for slight soreness in
her shoulder. Her cough 10 gone,
she sleeps we'll and her heart does not
bother her. Her stomach trouble,
which has bothered her for fifteen
years, has not been materially i'm
proved so far, although we are hoping
for results in the future. In strength
Mrs. Hastings is wonderfully i'm
proved and the results she has OBJ
tanned have been very satisfactory
and even greater than we bad hoped
for"
A neighbor has taken a particular
interest In Mrs. Hastings improve
msnt, having lived in the same vicin-
ity for two or three years, and being
fully acquainted with the facts Of her
poor health. From personal knoWl-
edge, be can say that her improve
ment under Prof. LarSonS care has
been very marked. indeed.-[J. c.
