Lobelia Tea for.--"There is no medicine that is half so effective as
lobelia in removing the tough, hard ropy phlegm from the asthmatic persons." This

is too weakening. To obtain the best results, enough of the remedy should be given to

sickness of the stomach and vomiting, thus relaxing the muscles and relieving the
asthma.

not to draw the water too far back.
