general discomfort. Several days after
this had another chill, which totally
prostrated me.
'As soon after this as 1 was able to
travel, went to Malone, my old Franklin
county home intending to stay for awhile
among relations and friends, and to con-
suit my old family physician. But found
that he was away in the White Mountains
with Vice-President Wheeler, my old
friend and former law partner. They did
not return to Malone until three days be-
fore left there. OF course consulted the
physician. He neither said nor did much
for me: l came away, feeling that the bat
Tie OF life was nearly ended. The next time
% l saw MI. Wheeler ia New York, he
told me that the doctor had said to him
that he never expected again to see me
alive. When arrived at home in Septem-
ber. it was in state of such exhaustion
that was unable to leave home except on
bright and sunshiny days; and then only
to walk slowly block or two.
Meanwhile my son, who had been in
Massachusetts, made the acquaintance of

had no energy to try any more. But in
September my son came. to New York,
and persuaded me to visit DIR. Turner,
who is in charge of DR.. Starkey & Palen's
office in New York for the Compound Oxy-
gen Treatment. My going there was not

but to crafty my sons kind importantly.
When DIR. Turner examined my case, he
thought was SO far gone that he hardly
dared to express the faintest hope.
"On the seventh of October I commenced
taking the treatment. To my great sur
prise began to feel better within a week.

consented, however, to advise concerning
it, and to do little work. One complica-

three months this case required as contin-
uous thought and labor as had ever be-
slowed on any case in all my legal expert
ence. Yet under the constant pressure and
anxiety grew stronger, taking Compound
oxygen all the time. In the spring, to my
astonishment, and that of my friends, 1

"My present health is such that can

tend to the business of my profession as
of old. I am regularly at my office in all
kinds of weather, except the exceedingly
stormy, and even then it is seldom that I
am housed. My digestion is good, my
sleep is as natural and easy as it ever was,
and my appetite is as hearty as 1 could de-
sire.
GA remarkable feature of my case is the
! haRelessness with which DIR. Starkey
viewed it at the~.outset. 1t was not
brought to his personal attention until
after, in DR.. Turner's care, / had begun
the treatment. Then my son wrote to
him, setting forth my condition, and ask
ing him to interest himself individually
il endeavors for my benefit. DR.. Starkey
replied that he had carefully examined
the case, as set before him, and that there
was evidently nothing that could be done.
He saw no possible chance of my being
be made more comfortable. L am very
sorry, he wrote, to give such hopeless
prognosis, but conscientiously can give
no other. What would DR.. Starkey have
said, had he then been assured that in less
than year from the time of his writing
should be thoroughly restored to as good
health ever had and that should be
able to attend regularly to the arduous du-
ties of my profession2
'Do l still continue to take the Treat
ment? No; not regularly, for my system
is in such a condition that do not need
it. Once in awhile, if 1 happen to take
cold, 1 resort to the Treatment for few
days, and always with certain and benefi-
cial effect.
"My confidence in the restorative power
of Compound Oxygen is complete; as also
it is in the ability and integrity of Drs.
Starkey & Palen, and of DR.. Turner, who
otherwise should not allow my name to
be used in this connection. l have thus
freely made mention of the history OF my
case as duty owe of rendering possible
service to some who may be as greatly in
need of physical recuperation as 1 was"

the most respondent invalids and those

beyond remedy, may take courage and be
