Two WeII-Kuewn Editors.


One of the busiest religious editors in Phila-
delphia, as well as one OF the most successful is
the Rev. Victor l.. Conrad, of the LEtbeTaa o.
sercer. He is the office editor. Tbile his
brother, the Rev. T. w Conrad, d. D., is the
editor-in-chief. Professor V. L. Conrad gives
his whole time and etiorJ TO the work OF maxi
ing the Lutheran Observer the valuable sheet it
is. He was comparatively, q short time ago,
broken down invalid. Now he is as hearty as
anybody need want 10 be.
In the interest of OyeTwGrked editors, bro
keD-dOwn literary men, and exhausted men OF
business one of oGr writers paid . visit T. Pro-
feSSor Conrad a few days ago, aud had pleas
ant and practical talk with him. Professor
Conrad was seated in his editorial chair,
pushing things" for the coming issue of ths
Observer, and thus he informed US:
There are few people who become n weary
and worn As brain workers. By long and m
remitting OverwOrk with the brain was bsdly
run down and brought into 4 condition nj eTe.s
nervous weakness. My stomach was ia poor
condition My digestion was bad. ii / ato $

general feeling Of good-fOr nOthingness was
unable TO perform my editorial duties with sat-
isiactiOn. In this state | realized that some
thing must be done. and that right promptly,

From the experience of Others, ] knew
something of Compound Oxygen. | would have
been inclined to be little skeptical about it,
but knew of the case of Mrs. Kelley. formerly
Miss HornbrOOk. | knew how Frustrated she
had been an apparently hopeless case Of spinal
injury. l thought that if such a case as hers
could be reached by Compound Oxygen, mine
was not beyond its power.
To make a long story short, ! took the
treatment. / saw at once that it was not one
of the class of remedies which do their work In
twenty -four hours For this l liked il ali the
better, and gained confidence in it. began
to improve, first little. then more decidedly,
but gaining all the time. Before long THAI
miserable feeling of good nOthingncss was
gone. My nerves were toned up. Ny stomach
improved, aud eating WAS no longer the cause
of torment l was able 10 do my WORK. My
recovery was a simple and pleasant process.
No nauseOus medicine to take; no unpi caSIub
operations to endure. / could experience the
pleasure of restoration and still attend 20 my
literary duties | continued the treatment
until my health was fully restored and l could
perform nay editorial labOrs as fslicitOusiy as
ever.
You ask me il ever have occasion now to
return 10 the treatment. Yes, 1 do sometimes.
There are times when am mentally jaded from
overworz and consequent fatigue. Then I
takea few inhalations Of ne Compound Oxygen,
and it seems To renew my vitality and act with
immediate effect
Well, Professor. how about the case of your
brother, the Rev. F. W. Conrad, ID. D.?
His restoration by means oi Compound Oxy-
gen is a wonderful instance of the efficacy Of
that method of treatment. His nervous sys-
tenn was completely shattered. His was an
aggravated case of overwOrk followed by too
severe doses of powerful drugs. For several
months he was entirely laid aside. After be-
ginning a course of treatment with Compound
Oxygen his Improvement soon followed. The
first effect was that he was able to enjoy healthy

Then his whole system toned up. His
digestion, which had been greatly diSOrdered,
became natural and hearty. A marked improve
ment in his sight was one of the most notable
indications. One eye had long been sightless,
and the other was weak. But the sight Of the
remaining eve became much clearer and more
reliable. He is now busy among the churches
as well as attending TO his duties as edifOr-in-
chief of the paper. He travels much of the time
while | attend to the Office duties, and tho de-
tail of the editorial labor He stands the fatigue
of travel wonderfully well. He is preaching
almost every Sunday, and delivering frequent
addresses.
Both my brothers case and my OWE are Of
interest to the OveFwOFkeG thousands who can
not take weeks rest days rest from their
wearying labor 1 think literary men, busi-
ness men, and OveTwOrked clergymeu as well,
ought to know more about this Compound Oxy-
gen; it is so simple so etiicaciOus SO easy OF
