My dad recently told me about his aunt Sally who lived around McLennan, Comanche and Hamilton counties. She was born 1876 and died 1950. She suffered from asthma. She had some type of medicine that she would put in a bowl, strike a match to it, take it outside and breathe in the smoke that came from it. It didn't catch on fire but would smoke. Do you know what this was or have you heard of it? It really helped her asthma. I sent this to several lists. I apologize if you are getting this on multiple lists. Sandra

Sandra- Possibly it was sulphur? I have heard that this was used to help asthma symptoms.
