This asbestos is put up in a glass vial. When the cork of the vial is removed and the alt comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from the inhaler a soothing gaseous substance, whic will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent cure. Itisunlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode penetrates parts that it would be impossible tor drugs or medicines to do. Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head- ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ- ence with marvelous rapidity. This inhaler lasts from one to three years. Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler, $x.00. All druggists or by mail. The X-ODE CO., 19 Union Square, New York City. PACH BROS., College + Photographers, 1024 Chapel St., New Haven.
