Dakota Travelling Man Finds New Harmless Remedy
 Which Healed Himself

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Asthma sufferers will be delighted to know that it is now possible for them to obtsin lasting re- lief from this distressing ailment, thanks to a new discovery, which has been made by W. H. Kirschman of this city.
 Mir. Kirschman states that he found this astonishing new treatment by ex- perimenting upon himself. He was troubled with asthma for over 2 years and during all this time he suffered with sneezing spells countless times, he would be unable to obtain a wink of sleep but would have to sit up all night long. If he would lie down and try to go to sleep he would immediately choke up and could hardly get his breath. For months at a time it was necessary for him to neglect his work entirely in a fruitless attempt to obtain a little relief.
 After considerable experimenting he discovered this treatment. To his great surprise and joy he found that after few weeks it healed him. What is so remarkable is that he has never since been the least bothered about his work in all kinds of weather and is never the least afraid of the disease return ing.
 After Mir. Kirschman found what wonderful change his treatment made in himself, he recommended it to sev- eral of his friends whom he knew had long been afflicted with asthma The results were so astonishing that they entreated him to give other sufferers a chance to obtain freedom from this nerve racking disease. This he finally decided to do but not before he had tried it in all climates and found that it was just as effective in all parts of the country.
 Mir. Kirschman is not a doctor His treatment contains no drugs. Anyone can take it without fear, so if you are afflicted with asthma it will pay you to write to MT. Kirschman at once He will be glad to explain his treatment free of charge His address is SEC Laeotah Building, Sioux Falls, S. D. Adv,
