The introduction of some new physical methods has considerably improved the writer's treatment of asthmatic children. These methods include an endeavour to attain nasal breathing, together with slow, deep "sleep breathing", and a system of eight or ten physiotherapy exercises which are described in detail. Since their adoption the consumption of aerosol bronchodilators has fallen dramatically.
