Has He Found a
Cure for Asthma?
Simple Prescription Gives Instant Re-
lief Makes Breathing Easy.

In New England, where Bronchial
Asthma, Bronchitis and other diseases
of the throat and lungs are so preva
lent, remarkably successful results are
being reported following the use of a
new form of treatment known as Oxi-
tlaze a physician s prescription.
Oxidaze is a harmless but powerful
combination of curative essential oils
concentrated and compressed into a
small tablet. One of these tablets slow
" dissolved before going to bed seems
to have the effect of releasing the mus
cular construction of the bronchial
tubes, opening up the air passages and
regulating spasmodic lung action. This
enables the patient to breathe easily
and naturally while lying down and to
get comfortable nights sleep.
So much interest has been shown
that local druggists, including Brat
tleboro Drug Co., have secured small
supply and state that they are author
lied to refund the money paid for the
first package if in any case this new
treatment fails to give relief. Oxidaze
is pleasant to take, contains no harm
full, habit forming drugs and is not ex-
pensive. This makes their test an easy
