COMPOUND OXYGEN,
FOR THE CURE OF CHRONIC DISEASES.
“I Almost Forget that I Have Been Sick.”
This is the declaration of a lady in Wellsville, Mo. , whose friends, to use her own words, “had all given up that I was going with Consumption as fast as I could.” We give her own account of the marvelous change wrought by Compound Oxygen:
“I was convalescing from a six weeks’ fever when I began using the Oxygen.Was very much reduced in flesh and strength; could only sit up a part of the time.Had a slight cough and raised some matter and phlegm from my lungs.After using the Oxygen one week my weight was eighty nine and a half pounds; three weeks after it was ninety-two pounds, a gain of two and a half pounds in three weeks.I think it has been much faster for the last two weeks.
“I have been using Oxygen for six weeks and am now able to ride to town, six miles, do my shopping and back again, get dinner for my family and work at light housework all the remainder of the day without stopping to rest. Am feeling so strong and well that I almost forget I have been sick and should think my lungs well if it were not for the smarting or uneasy feeling in my throat and some pain between my shoulders at times.
“My cough (when I do cough, which is not often) is much more satisfactory and less of a hack than it was six weeks ago, and I think I raise more phlegm and less matter.
“I am able to do my own work, and it is so easy that I find it a real pleasure. Appetite is splendid.Sleep seven or eight hours soundly; no night sweats, no distressing sick headaches, as I used to have.My friends had all given up that I was going with Consumption as fast as I could, but instead, I am looking better than for years, and I think it is through God’s mercy and His blessing and your Oxygen that has brought me health and happiness.”
“A Wonder to all my Friends.”
A lady at Sandy Creek, N. Y. , wrote us in April last, giving a statement of her case. She had been a sufferer for many years, especially from Neuralgia
We had but one report of the case, and that a brief one, until October 20, 1882, when the following was received.It will be seen that the treatment has been doing a good work, and that the lady, to use her own words, is “a wonder to all her friends.”
“Last April I procured a Home Treatment from you and have written you once since then. I have been greatly benefited by the use of the Oxygen. When I wrote you a description of my case you expressed the opinion that with freedom from care and work I might be cured by taking the Treatment. I have never worked so hard or steadily as through the past summer, and have not felt so well, so much alive for years, and all this from the use of only about half a Treatment. I have been so very busy that I have not taken the Oxygen regularly at all; neither have I reported to you but once before, so I could blame no one but myself if I were not benefited. I have not felt quite as well for the past two weeks, but am going to be more faithful in the use of the Oxygen, and I hope to improve. I am a wonder to all my friends, but I give the credit where it is due—to the use of the Oxygen.”
Strong Testimony from a Physician.
A physician in Troy, Tenn., whose wife was in the early stages of Consumption, wrote to us in May last, ordering a Treatment.In a second letter, received some weeks after the Compound Oxygen was received, he says:
“She coughs some.Has no night sweats.Had some chills lately; short breath; pain in left lung under breast; some hemorrhage recently; appetite and sleep moderate; losing flesh since using Compound Oxygen; is some better in all respects; coughs up some blood and pure pus; breathes better than before using Compound Oxygen.”
We did not hear again from the case until Sept.22, 1882, when a letter came, in which the writer states that he had been waiting to see if the good work begun by our Treatment was going to be permanent.His report, which we give below, is highly satisfactory:
“You will no doubt think that I have been very negligent in writing you in regard to my wife’s case. Please receive my apology. I was just waiting to see if what your Treatment was doing would be permanent. I have so much to say that I hardly know where to begin.
“I gave you the symptoms when I made the order. For the first three weeks my wife did not improve any.After that time she improved slowly but steadily.She is now like a new person.She is gaining all the time.Her breathing is better than for two years, and she is gaining strength and flesh.
“When she began your Compound Oxygen she could not walk fifty yards without great exhaustion. She can now walk half a mile with but little fatigue. Her lungs pain her but little. She sleeps well at night; appetite good; has not had any hemorrhage since last of July, and then light; and, to cut the matter short, she said this morning that she began to feel like herself again
“You are at liberty to refer to me or my wife any one similarly affected.”
Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen is sent free of chargeIt contains a history of the discovery, nature and action of this new remedy, and a record of many of the remarkable results which have so far attended its use.
