Has He Found a
Cure for Asthma -!
Simple Prescription Gives Instant
Relief. Makes Breathing Easy

In New England. where bronchial
asthma. bronchitis and other diseases OF
the throat and lungs are so prevalent.
remarkably successful results are being
reported following the use of new form
OF treatment known as OXidaze, physi-
clans prescription
Oxidaze is harmless but powerful
combination of curative essential oils
concentrated and compressed into a small
tablet One of these tablets slowly dis
solved before going to bed seems to have
the effect OF releasing the muscular con-
striction Of the bronchial tubes. opening
up the air passages and regulating spas
modic lung action. This enables the pa
tient to breathe easily and naturally
while lying down and TO get a comfort
able nights sleep.
So much interest has been shown tina;
local druggists. including Lee & Osgood
have secured a small supply and STATE
that they are authorized 70 refund the
money paid for the first nacllage II in
any case this new treatment fails to give
relief. OXidaze is pleasant TO take. con.
tains no harmful habit-rorning drugs
and is not expensive This makes their
test an easy matter.

MAKING MOVE TO HAVE
MARRIAGE LICENSES PUBLISHED

An agitation for the publication of
marriage licenses has started in Hartford
as the result of recent case of a big
arnist obtaining a license there. and it is
commended by DR.. Charles L. Botsford,
superintendent of the board of health of
that city, that this could have been pre-
vented, had the knowledge become public
m time. -.
Dr. Botsford says: 1T personally favor
the modification of the state law, and
should like to see the requirements made
that, as in the case of non-residentS,
residents should be required to allow five
days to elapse between the application
for the marriage license and the date Of
the ceremony, with the same publicity
that is now given to the marriage appli-
cations of non-residents."
DR.. Botsford further says IT should
like to see the law make it compulsory
for both applicants for marriage license
to make statement under oath as to the
information asked for. At present, when
| only one party is required to apply, per-
jury is easy when it comes to answering
| for the other"
| The law reads: IF neither of such
persons is L resident of said town, said
registrar shall not issue such certificate
until the fifth day following, unless the
| judge of probate for the district in which
1
or the person who is to join such partie;
| in marriage, after hearing such evidence
| as is presented. renders a written de
cision that, in his opinion, public polio,
.. requires the marriage to be ceie
brated without delay. Upon receipt o
such a decision, such registrar shall Ill
same as a public document, and shall is
sue his certificate etc"
Even with this law designed to proven
couples skipping from one town to an
other to get married off-hand, couple
manage to beat the law and get marie
without waiting for five days in towns i
which neither are residents. One or tn
other Will claim a residence and give a
address in the town where the license
applied for, 30 that the town clerk, unles
he knows the address is>false, has no res
son for refusing to issue a license a
ence. This is easily worked in the cite
where the registrar or town clerk cannc
be presumed to know where everybod
lives and cannot always verify addresse
from the directory.
Accommodating town clerks also
times assist the would-be weddin
couples to keep their intentions secret /
keeping the application out of sight VI
til after the FIVE day limit has passe'
In most cities Of Connecticut all ma
riage records are open to inspection |

not been custom in this city.
