Bronebitis is not generally treated with suc

I had the good fortune some yeara ngo to ilis

for tliis nnd other lung complaints. I made
the nir which tho patient brenthes the carrier
of the remediea which are necesaary for his
curo. Instead of sending them on a rounda
bout way through the stomach nnd general
syateni, I tntreduce them directly into the nir
tuhes nnd cells of the lunga, whero the diaeaso
and all the danger lies, and I know by nmplo
experlence that thls treatuient is the only hope
thero is for tlie cure of any form of bronchinl
