    Its remarkable success in promptly relieving the first case of Hay Fever Asthma, for which it was prescribed, naturally suggested its use in cases of Spasmodic Asthma, independent of the Hay Fever influence, and the result has proved its remarkable power in all such cases uncomplicated with organic lesions of the lungs. Many cases of supposed Asthma are really emphysema, or chronic dilatation of the air cells; in others, infiltration and organized deposits in the sub- stance of the lung have solidified the organs, obliterated the air cells, and permanently reduced the respiratory area. For such conditions, resulting from organic changes, science offers but small relief; but in all cases of Spasmodic Asthma, acute or chronic—regardless of cause, if the lung tissue is undisturbed—this Remedy, it is believed, will relieve every case. Spasmodic Croup and Whooping Cough, kindred Neuroses of the respiratory nerves, respond most favorably to its influence, and for Acute Catarrhs and sneezing head colds it is the most prompt and effectual remedy ever offered to the public.
