ASTHMA. 
What is it ? It is a chronic Paroxysmal and intermittent disease of respira- 
tion, accompanied by wheezing, and a distressing sense of tightness in the 
chest, and is one of the most irritating and agonizing jppmplaints, and perhaps 
the hardest to conquer or relieve of any of the long likv of diseases we have to 
contend with. 
It is a painful sight to witness a patient in his almost hopeless struggle for 
he scanty supply of air he receives, which, if the spasm is protracted, the 
oxygenation of his blood is imperfectly performed, and at the same time the 
violent muscular effort at respiration covers him with perspiration. 
The symptoms at times are extreme‘wakefulness and unusual mental activity 
at others the patient goes to bed and sleeps two or three hours, becomes distressed 
n his breathings, and begins to wheeze. He awakes, changes his position, falls 
asleep again and again, and the miserable fight between asthma and sleep may 
go on, till the increased suffering does not allow the patient to longer forget 
himself for a moment. 
It is for the relief and cure of this terrible disease, that we now offer 
TP spkp jmwii cap, 
FOR ASTHMA ONLY.

medical preparations, says : 
The New York Trade Journal referring to the Shakers as manufacturers of 
“ All their many great improvements and discoveries have been made with 
out the braggadocio and flourish of trumpets usually attendant upon the 
invention of other people. It is well known that they have made the cultivation 
of herbs for medicinal purposes, a study for upwards of fifty years; their patient, 
unobtrusive and perservering investigations into the properties of plants adapted 
for medicinal preparation, have done much for the “Vegetable Materia Medica’’ 
of the world, experiments in the line of medical botany have for many years been 
conducted for the benefit of mankind by the Shakers in their quiet characteristic 
manner, and we are glad to stale that these experiments have not been without 
tuippy remits ’’

my acquaintance afflicted with asthma, with great confidence, that they may 
find relief and no doubt a cure.
