Joseph UtraxaiT, E>q —Dear Sir: It is now nearly twelve months since I received the first bottle of yonr valuable medicine for the cure of the Asthma. For thirteen years I suffered with the Asthma, and during that time there were but few months in whloh I did not suffer with a paroxysm that entirely prostrated me for two or three days, and sometimes longer ' . I will say, that from the time I took the first dose of your “ Remedy” to the present hour, I have not had a bad attack, and now my sjatem is so free from it, that the most active exercise and exposure seldom has any other effect than to slightly restrict toe lungs Your medloino soon dhpela that sensation, and'l can lately elrim a general release from the tormentor. Please accept my gratitude for the great blessing, and believe me that I shall endeavor to ittroduce the Remedy whenever opportunity ooours. ‘With groat respeot, your obedient servant, J. H. BBAGLON.
