Thousands who have suffered from
the terrible gasping, choking, cough
ing and wheezing symptoms of
asthma will rejoice to learn that the
underlying causes of asthma have
apparently been disclosed by science.
Strange as it may seem, the most j
stubborn cases that have resisted all ;
methods of treatment now quickly i
yield to a simple home treatment
which is raridly becoming famous.
The ability to sleep soundly all
night, to stand exposure to stormy
weather, to walk rapidly or run, and
freedom from the terrible tightness
in the chest is often given within as i
short a time as four minutes by this |
wonderful new formula, known as .
Webb’s Combination Prescription.
So confident is Mr. TV. H. Webb, 256
Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., that I
you can be rid of your asthma troubles
that he offers to send a full size Webb’s I
Combination Prescription on free trial to j
anyone who will write for it. Tell your i
friends if it cures you and pay Mr. Webb '
only whatever you think is fair. You •
are the judge and never pay anything >
unless you wish.
Webb’s Combination Prescription i« not
