IEFLAMMAToRY RHEUMATISM.
AN ASTONISHING CURE.

The following case gives another re-
markable proof of the really wonder-work-
ing potency of Compound Oxygen. The
patient herself could hardly have been
more surprised than wewere at the result
which attended its use; for when we ex-
amined her case and understood clearly
her condition we did not believe that we
could do anything for her, and frankly told
her SO. - 100,
