had been in such poor health that he had been
compelled to spend several winters in Florida,
had been restored by this Compound Oxygen to
such an extent that he was able to endure the
climate of Boston in winter. The little book
issued by Starkey & Palen on Compound Oxy-

cluded that even if their method of treating my
ailments could do me no good, there was reason
to suppose that it would do me no harm.

Mr.. Nixon. did you ever take any other
Oxygen Treatment than that of Messrs. Starkey
& Palen2"
No; had no use for any other. This served
the purpose perfectly. and did even more than
could have expected OF it..
