ASTHMA SUFFERERS.
CURATIVE PLANT. London, October 3. A new hope for asthma sufferers, in the form of a synthetic reproduction of a drug contained in a curative plant, «Ma Husang,” known to the Chinese for thousands of years, is one of the features of the medical exhibition at Westminster. European medical science, according to the Westminster Gazette, for years has endeavoured to obtain supplies of the drug, but the suspicious Chinese, who regard the plant as a certain cure, allowed very little to come westward. Recently, English chemists discovered that the plant contained a new drug which was named ephedrine. Though the quality obtainable was insufficent to test its efficiency, chemists now are manufacturing large quantities synthetically.
