Helps You Remove Plugs of Congestion from Lungs

Dramatic Relief For Sufferers of Bronchial Asthma

If you suffer from bronchial asthma attacks-you know that plugs of thick, sticky mucus often clog bronchial breathing tubes in your lungs.

You wheeze.

You cough.

You gasp for air. 

Don't suffer that terrifying feeling of suffocation when sudden attacks strike.

To help unclog your lungs in minutes and prevent further attacks for hours-take Primatene® Tablets as the label directs.

Because Primatene contains a full dose of the asthma relievers doctors recommend most-Primatene relaxes tense bronchial muscles-decongests swollen membranes in the lungs-helps you to expectorate excess mucus fast.

Ask for Primatene Tablets. 

No prescription is needed.

Attu, at the bleak western tip of the Aleutians, in 12 days. It took us 34. Once, having made an emergency landing in a lonely cove for do-it-yourself repairs, we were forced by storms to wait frustrating days huddled around a stove in a trapper's hut drinking coffee and eating moose meat. I asked our hermit host when the seasons changed up here. "Don't be funny, young fellow," he snapped. "We have only two seasons-this winter and next winter!"

We tried to keep in sight of each other in the air, but storms often separated us. We carried no parachutes or life rafts-they were too heavy. 

Airplanes were complete strangers almost everywhere we went, so fuel and spare parts were preplanted at landing spots about 400 miles apart by the Mobil Oil Co., which used everything from fishing boats to camels for delivery. Refueling took hours. Five-gallon tins had to be lifted up by hand from the ground or from bobbing boats; then the gas had to be strained through a chamois-skin filter. More than 500 different kinds of other supplies were also stored with the fuel, packed in boxes made from spruce, ash and plywood, which we used to make repairs
