lately tested the "oxygen cure" The first

been apprehended in Chicago on account OF

"A writer in the Weekly Medical Rerieat
says: "I have collected every catarrh, asth-
ma and hay-fever sure cure that is in the
market, numbering in all tifty-eight, and
have carefully examined them. Eighteen

One ounce Of quassia chips, a pound of table
salt, forty gallons Of water, will make a
barrel of sure cure that sells for 81 bottle
holding six ounces. The same quantity Of
water, pound of muriate of ammonia, q
pound of ground cubebs and little common
potash will make another cure that sells
for fifty cents bottle, holding four ounces
These two are the best of the eighteen
frauds"
