Asthma
Is Dangerous
Folly to Disregard It's Warning

Asthma Is not only q disagreeable ar
fiction but a dangerous one: the con
slant dificult breathing. the choked up air
passages, the struggle for air. the loss OF
rest, combine to force great strain on
the nervous system and heart-otten too
great a strain to stand.
It Is the worst Of folly to neglect sucii
a condition or to continually treat with
ordinary narcotic medicines, drugs in
halers smokes. or douches which merely
give temporary relief from the choking
paroxysms and do not relieve or correct
the real cause of the trouble. Instead get
from any druggist a small bottle OF CXi-
daze Essential OLD tablets and take one
at short intervals whenever distress is ret
and one on going to bed. Instant relief is
usually felt and in addition the effect OF
consistent treatment is to gradually bring
about a greatly improved health condi-
ton as the symptoms of Asthma disappear
forever. Oxidaze is the successful pre-
scription of Worcester. Mass, physician
and it's treatment of Asthma, even in the
very worst forms has probably never been
excelled.
All druggists sell 1t and patients find It
a safe, pleasant and inexpensive treatment

en enviable record in county library
