COMPOUND OXYGEN.For the Cure of Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Dyspep-sia, Headache, Ozœna, Debility, and all Chronic and NervousDisorders, by a Natural Process of Revitalization.A REMARKABLE RESULT.We are constantly meeting with new and singular results from the administration of Compound Oxygen. Witness the following, in the sudden penetration of the air into a collapsed lung. A gentleman in Pleasantville, Iowa, writing under date of October 10, 1880, says:“My daughter had not been confined to her bed, but for the past twelve years had not been able to inhale much air in her left lung, in consequence of congestion, owing to overheating. She was unable to stand heat, and she was liable to sinking and smothering spells; also her heart would not beat regularly; every hour or two it would stop its pulsations, or feel as if it was going to. On the second inhalation herlung expanded to its fullest capacity, which, of course, caused great distress of body (as the chest had sunk in over her lung), but ever since she has had no symptoms of smothering.The heart pulsations are regular, and she feels like a new person; is gaining rapidly in flesh.Her lung is not yet strong, but is gaining.We are truly grateful to you for rescuing her from an untimely grave.”“AM SO MUCH BETTER.”Extract from letter of a patient in Biddeford, Me.:“It is with pleasure I tell you what your Compound Oxygen Treatment has done for me. Last April, when I commenced using it,I was very low; suffered from a weak, tired feeling all the time.Had not been able to do any housework or sewing for four years, and but very little for ten years past.My right side was very bad, a continual smarting ache extending from the throat to the hip, aggravated by using my arm.Had not been free from a cough for four years. Now I do most of my housework; all my family sewing; walk out every pleasant day; think I could walk a mile and not be very tired; am so much happier to feel that I am some use in the world.For all this consider myself indebted to your Compound Oxygen Treatment.”FORCED CHEERFULNESS.A patient writes:“I used to seem cheerful, and people often remarked it; but my husband would look sad, and tell me he feared I did not feel it; which was true. (I did it to keep up his spirits.) But now it does me good to take a hearty laugh. Every one I meet says, ‘How well you are looking.’ I tell them it is the Compound Oxygen rebuilding me....I can scarcely believe myself to be the same miserable little woman I once was.”“VICTORY!”Under this caption, a gentleman in Iowa, who had procured the Compound Oxygen Treatment for his wife, writes:“I am surprised at finding her so much improved in health.When she began using the Oxygen she could not sit up more than four hours at a time. Could not walk a quarter of a mile. Improved from the first inhalation, and now, having used the Treatment for six weeks, does considerable work around the house, andcan walk two miles and not be tired. Raises no more bloody matter. No cough. Sleeps and eats well. All that I can say is, ‘Thank God, and Drs. Starkey & Palen.’”BRONCHITIS.A lady in Carmel, N. Y., after using the Oxygen Treatment for about four weeks, writes as follows in regard to the result:“Four years ago I had an attack ofAcute Bronchitis. It was two or three months before I got over it,and then I had lost my voice. I could not sing. The next winter I had two attacks, and in the spring I had chronic inflammation of the throat. I was treated for it from March till June. Then my husband took me to Brooklyn for medical treatment. I got very much better; but as soon as the weather became cold I took cold, and had to stay in the house for most of the time with an inflamed throat. When I sent for the Oxygen I had just had the worst attack from which I had ever suffered. I feared that I was going to lose my voice entirely, it hurt me so to talk. Last year, every time I had a cold it left me with apain in the lower part of my left lung. This summer the doctor sounded my lung, and said all the trouble was in the larger air passage.“The first time I inhaled the Oxygenthat pain left me in half an hour, and I have not felt it since. For two days my lung felt real good; then the inhaling made it feel sore, and every time I coughed it seemed to come from that place where the pain had been, and what I passed had a very bad taste, but did not look bad.“I have taken a great many different things, but never in my life took anything like the Oxygen.I feel so strong and well, and have such a good, healthy appetite.”ASTONISHED AT THE RESULT.A lady writing from Louisiana, November 15, 1880, says:“The reception of your interesting quarterly reminds me that I have been very ungrateful to you, in not reporting progress for so long. I am not yet entirely cured, but when I think of the miserable condition I was in when, on the 7th of last February, I began the Oxygen Home Treatment,I am truly astonished at the result. I am still thin in flesh, but I believe I am still gaining ground. My health is better than in years before, and I can eat anything I can get to eat. I have a small supply of gas yet, which I use when I feel depressed. I will order another Treatment before long, for I feel sure it will eventually effect a cure.I cannot say how thankful I am for having been induced to send to you for the Oxygen.”LETTER FROM AN OLD PATIENT.We make an extract from a letter recently received from one of our patients, which shows the permanent effects of the Oxygen Treatment:“You will, no doubt, remember me as one of your patients of more than a year ago. I am not entirely cured, nor ever expect to be, as my business is such that as long as I am able to be about I must go. I am manager of a large grain and stock farm, and my business keeps me out of doors most of the time, which is a decided benefit to me.I have felt stronger this year than ever before, and have done ten times as much work as ever before.I still have a part of the last Treatment, which I use once in awhile when I am not feeling good,and it immediately revives me. Only this morning I had a bad headache, and felt badly;I took an inhalation of the Oxygen and felt like another man.”Our Treatise on Compound Oxygenis sent free of charge. It 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.Also sent free, “Health and Life,” a quarterly record of cases and cures under the Compound Oxygen Treatment.Depository on Pacific Coast.—H.

A REMARKABLE RESULT.

We are constantly meeting with new and singular results from the administration of Compound Oxygen. Witness the following, in the sudden penetration of the air into a collapsed lung. A gentleman in Pleasantville, Iowa, writing under date of October 10, 1880, says:

“My daughter had not been confined to her bed, but for the past twelve years had not been able to inhale much air in her left lung, in consequence of congestion, owing to overheating. She was unable to stand heat, and she was liable to sinking and smothering spells; also her heart would not beat regularly; every hour or two it would stop its pulsations, or feel as if it was going to. On the second inhalation herlung expanded to its fullest capacity, which, of course, caused great distress of body (as the chest had sunk in over her lung), but ever since she has had no symptoms of smothering.The heart pulsations are regular, and she feels like a new person; is gaining rapidly in flesh.Her lung is not yet strong, but is gaining.We are truly grateful to you for rescuing her from an untimely grave.”

“AM SO MUCH BETTER.”

Extract from letter of a patient in Biddeford, Me.:

“It is with pleasure I tell you what your Compound Oxygen Treatment has done for me. Last April, when I commenced using it,I was very low; suffered from a weak, tired feeling all the time.Had not been able to do any housework or sewing for four years, and but very little for ten years past.My right side was very bad, a continual smarting ache extending from the throat to the hip, aggravated by using my arm.Had not been free from a cough for four years. Now I do most of my housework; all my family sewing; walk out every pleasant day; think I could walk a mile and not be very tired; am so much happier to feel that I am some use in the world.For all this consider myself indebted to your Compound Oxygen Treatment.”

FORCED CHEERFULNESS.

A patient writes:

“I used to seem cheerful, and people often remarked it; but my husband would look sad, and tell me he feared I did not feel it; which was true. (I did it to keep up his spirits.) But now it does me good to take a hearty laugh. Every one I meet says, ‘How well you are looking.’ I tell them it is the Compound Oxygen rebuilding me....I can scarcely believe myself to be the same miserable little woman I once was.”

“VICTORY!”

Under this caption, a gentleman in Iowa, who had procured the Compound Oxygen Treatment for his wife, writes:

“I am surprised at finding her so much improved in health.When she began using the Oxygen she could not sit up more than four hours at a time. Could not walk a quarter of a mile. Improved from the first inhalation, and now, having used the Treatment for six weeks, does considerable work around the house, andcan walk two miles and not be tired. Raises no more bloody matter. No cough. Sleeps and eats well. All that I can say is, ‘Thank God, and Drs. Starkey & Palen.’”

BRONCHITIS.

A lady in Carmel, N. Y., after using the Oxygen Treatment for about four weeks, writes as follows in regard to the result:

“Four years ago I had an attack ofAcute Bronchitis. It was two or three months before I got over it,and then I had lost my voice. I could not sing. The next winter I had two attacks, and in the spring I had chronic inflammation of the throat. I was treated for it from March till June. Then my husband took me to Brooklyn for medical treatment. I got very much better; but as soon as the weather became cold I took cold, and had to stay in the house for most of the time with an inflamed throat. When I sent for the Oxygen I had just had the worst attack from which I had ever suffered. I feared that I was going to lose my voice entirely, it hurt me so to talk. Last year, every time I had a cold it left me with apain in the lower part of my left lung. This summer the doctor sounded my lung, and said all the trouble was in the larger air passage.

“The first time I inhaled the Oxygenthat pain left me in half an hour, and I have not felt it since. For two days my lung felt real good; then the inhaling made it feel sore, and every time I coughed it seemed to come from that place where the pain had been, and what I passed had a very bad taste, but did not look bad.

“I have taken a great many different things, but never in my life took anything like the Oxygen.I feel so strong and well, and have such a good, healthy appetite.”

ASTONISHED AT THE RESULT.

A lady writing from Louisiana, November 15, 1880, says:

“The reception of your interesting quarterly reminds me that I have been very ungrateful to you, in not reporting progress for so long. I am not yet entirely cured, but when I think of the miserable condition I was in when, on the 7th of last February, I began the Oxygen Home Treatment,I am truly astonished at the result. I am still thin in flesh, but I believe I am still gaining ground. My health is better than in years before, and I can eat anything I can get to eat. I have a small supply of gas yet, which I use when I feel depressed. I will order another Treatment before long, for I feel sure it will eventually effect a cure.I cannot say how thankful I am for having been induced to send to you for the Oxygen.”

LETTER FROM AN OLD PATIENT.

We make an extract from a letter recently received from one of our patients, which shows the permanent effects of the Oxygen Treatment:

“You will, no doubt, remember me as one of your patients of more than a year ago. I am not entirely cured, nor ever expect to be, as my business is such that as long as I am able to be about I must go. I am manager of a large grain and stock farm, and my business keeps me out of doors most of the time, which is a decided benefit to me.I have felt stronger this year than ever before, and have done ten times as much work as ever before.I still have a part of the last Treatment, which I use once in awhile when I am not feeling good,and it immediately revives me. Only this morning I had a bad headache, and felt badly;I took an inhalation of the Oxygen and felt like another man.”

Our Treatise on Compound Oxygenis sent free of charge. It 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.

Also sent free, “Health and Life,” a quarterly record of cases and cures under the Compound Oxygen Treatment.

Factual errors (including dates and names), contradictions, duplications, repetitions, ambiguities and debatable calculations, formulas, definitions and descriptions have not been individually noted or corrected, but have been copied verbatim. Except in the Index of Illustrations, the occasional mistakes in the alphabetical order of the articles have not been corrected.Hyperlinks have usually been inserted only where there was another article describing the topic or where there was an explicit references to another article (for example by the use ofitalicsorSmall Capitalswhen referring to a subject). Where appropriate, hyperlinks link directly to the subject of the article, not necessarily to the phrase or keyword mentioned. For example, the article Aluminium Bronze ends with See Ordnance, Metals for; the hyperlink goes directly to the section Aluminium Bronze in the article Ordnance, Metals for rather than to the main article. In some cases the hyperlink leads to the article describing (or mentioning) the subject rather than to the listed article where the latter does not exist, or where the listed article merely refers to a further article. In case of circular references (e.g., article Crown, Triumphal: see Triumphal Crown; article Triumphal Crown: see Crown, Triumphal), or where the target article does not mention the subject or does not exist at all, no hyperlinks have been inserted.Plates and illustrations: the spelling and/or language of the captions may differ significantly from those in the body of the text and the Index to Illustrations. Some captions were largely illegible, and have been reconstructed based on the Index of Illustrations or on the main text where possible. Underneath each plate in the end of the book are the (usually enlarged) individual illustrations from the plate. Several of the illustrations were of rather poor quality, and it may not always be possible to read measurements or texts inside illustrations, nor has it always been possible to transcribe them. Where possible and necessary to see all details, hyperlinks to even larger illustrations have been provided (available in the on-line html format, but not necessarily in other formats). Several of the individual illustrations lack a caption; only when it is clear what the caption should be (i.e., a clear, unambiguous illustration that is listed in the Index of Illustrations) has a caption been inserted, as listed below.
