"DRs. STARKEy x PALES Dear Sirs =
In April, 1881, consulted YOU in reference
to your Treatment in Mfammatory Rheu-
matism. Eighteen Years ago | discovered
rheumatism in the ends of my fingers from
that it gradually spread all over nv body,
settling in my feet in 1870; and from that
time to January 1880, | grew worse and
worse, suffering nearly all the time intense
shooting pains, prostrating me often for
days, when the trouble settled in nv left
arm.
NY arm lost all rtalHy, becoming as
cold as il encased in ice and hanging al my
side hearu weight. 1He muscles teU
array to the bone, and my shoulder wasted
Till it became necessary to pad nv dresses
TO wear them. In addition to this trouble
nv stomach was in a terrible condition. hay-
ing refused all kinds cf food for months,
| and was starving on low diet under the
advice of one of Philadelphia's first phys-
clans. After careful examination Of nv
case, your DIR. Starkey said to me, 4 don't
| think | can do anything for yon had
heard and read of the Oxygen so long that
was anxious to try it if only to get little
relief; so on April Sth, 1881. | began the
Office Treatment, coming every dav for a
/ ,ph tbaD u
first night after inhaling the Comp0ttnd
Oxygen Ihadhe frst nights rest in months.
This greatly relieved and encouraged me.
After using the Treatment a month | no.
liced slightly changed feeling in my arm,
6H couid not more any part Of It, During
the second month could notice a decided
Improvement in my stomach and little
motion Of the fingers. Then had the mis-
fortune to fall down flight of stairs, which
threw me away back and injured my arm
seriously. | resumed the Treatment as
soon as was able to come to the Office, and
| by August, notwithstanding the fall, found,
by the use Of the other arm, could msrc
the lame one about an inch from the body
and could raise the shoulder slightly. In
November could lift my arm little and
the spots were not SO painful. All this
tliIie ILL., etolhalu was anu INV
lung trouble less troublesome. BY Christ
mas could eat almost everything placed
before me had little or no nausea, and
seldom vomited. My arm began to fill o,h
and the rheumatism, instead of being per-
manent PAIN was now scattering and only
visited me occasionally and realized that
was much less barometer. 1 felt like a
new being. In February 1882, was using
my arm at light rork and was able to comb
my hair, a thing l had not done in long
time, could button my dresses to the top and
found it necessary to take out the padding.
In April, one year from the time began,
my lungs had improved wonderfully, my
stomach was well, and my rheumatism back
into my fingers, where it started in 1854.
