It is a combination medication that supposed to help with Asthma. It contained belladonna and stramonium alkaloids, 0.23-0.31%.
Belladonna is a plant/weed, (sometimes called Nightshade) and Stramonium is a plant/weed too, (sometimes called Jimsonweed.)
Both are poisonous. Both have been professed to treat ailments over the years. Other medications have been derived from these plants in the past.
The medication your mom took so long ago, probably did little to help her asthma. More likely, it relaxed her as the quality of the jimsonweed is known to cause hallucinations.
Good Luck!

Bella donna??!!! Damn, that is some old stuff. I've never heard of Asthmadore, and I have asthma myself, and I'm a nurse. I was diagnosed as an adult (adult onset asthma is fairly common) a few years ago, and I take Flovent, which pretty much keeps me under control, and albuterol when I get a chest cold/bronchitis. My boyfriend also has asthma, he was diagnosed as a teenager. We are both in our 40s. The old line drug he takes is theophiline (q spelling), he was put on Flovent last December, after he landed in the hospital with an attack (beware msg, truly) and that has him mostly under control. This is probably tmi, but maybe some info will help.
