A New Treatment for the Relief and Cure
of Consumption.

Said Charles Dickens in an address 10 the
Liberal School OF London, Heaven help the
poor consumptiye who falls into the bands Of
what is called the regular physician! y md
without meaning to disparage the medical pro-
f~ession, or to cast any slur upon its able and
distinguished and honorable representatives in
this or any other country, We cannot help, III
view Of all the facts, reiterating the words OF
the distinguished author. One has only to look
at the bills Of mortality, whenever and wher-
over published, to become aware OF the fact
that, 30 far al pulmonary consumption is con
cerned, which strikes down three, to one VIII
dies Of any o her disease, til re il little or no
hope in the regular physician, whether he be
allopathic, homeopathic, or eclectic Hence
the treatment Of consumption l. coming more
and more into the hands OF y class of practl
TONERS known ss 'specialists"; but with these,
while considerable amelioration ia often gained
and the disease retarded it rarely happens that
the relief afforded is anything more tina tenn
porary. The bright visions'of returning health
too soon begin TO fade, and hope dies sadly
away AZ 1t becomes painfully evident that the
work Of tho destroyer has not been really
stayed.
Is there then no hope, no help for the con-
sumptlvei No cure for this dreaded and too
surely fatal diseasei Is the healing art still at
faultl Can science and skill do nothing How

feel their hearts beat more quickly as they
pause for an answer.
From evidence no clear, satisfactory and Gu
mulatiye that scarcely any room is left for
doubt, We feel warranted in saying that there
is hope and help for the consumptlve, and that
especially in the earlier stages Of this disease
It's course may be arrested and the whole vital
system put in o condition to eifectualy and
permanently resist It's assaults. 1t has been
confidently estimated that taken during the
first stages Of confir'ned consumption, nine
cases out Of ten may be permanently cured
Under the new treatment known as the ''Com
pound Oxygen Treatment, F" which is adminis
tered ly Drs. Starkey aud Palen, No.1ll2 Gitart
street, Philadelphia, physicians OF known char
actar and standing, results have been obtained
during the past ten years, not onlyin oonsump
ton, but in q wide range OF chronic diseased
which seem almost like miracles OF healing.
II any OF our readers desire to learn full and
explicit information In regard to this treatment
let them send to Drs, btArkey and PaleD n
Philadelphia, for their treatise Of 200 pages OF
Compound Oxygen" which will DO sent free
In ihis clear and intelligently written broohur
they will find the history and philosophy OF tho
new cure, and also O large number OF testmoDi

testimonials are from well-known and eminon

IN New England, arc suffering the living death
Of consumption, the withholding OF 10 compar

"Homo TIeAaient," and all the necessary In

criminal. From what we learn as to tho results
of this new cure we are well satisfied that its
general use would Annually save thousands
from untimely graves, and give ack 70 full or
