Then / went to Thousand Islands, where
stayed several weeks with friends. But 1 found
that the atmosphere did not agree with me. 1
came away feeling that the battle of life was
nearly ended. The merit time saw my old lau-
partner, Vice President Wheeler, he told NE that
the Doctor had said to him that he never expected
again to see me dliUe. When / arrived at home
in September, it was in such state of ex-
haustion that was unable to leave the house
except on mild days, and then only to walk
slowly block or two.
meanwhile my son had learned something
about Compound Oxygen, and wrote, urging
me to try it. But l had lost all faith in rene
dies. I had tried many things, and had no
energy to try any more. In September, how
ever, my son came to New York and persuaded
me to visit DR.. Turner, who is in charge of
Drs. Starkey & Palen's Office in New York. !
went not because / had any faith in this
Treatment, but to crafty my sons kind i'm
portunity. When DIR. Turner examined my

hardly dared express the faintest hope.
ION the 18th of October L commenced taking
Compound Oxygen. TO my great surprise be-

no confidence in my ability to attend to it. 1
consented, however, to advise concerning it,
and to do little work. One complication
after another arose. l kept working at it all
Winter and into the Spring. For three months
this case required as continuous thought and
labor as / had ever bestowed on any case in all
my legal experience. Yet under the constant
pressure and anxiety grew stronger, taking
Compound Oxygen all the time. III the Spring,

Of my profession as Of old. by digestion is good,
my sleep is as natural aud easy as IL euer raS and
my appetite is as hearty as 1 could desire.
"My confidence in the restorative power of
Compound Oxygen is complete, as also it is in
the ability and integrity of Drs. Starkey &
Palen, otherwise I should not allow my name
to be used in this connection. I hare thus freely
made mention Of the history Of my case duty
QUE of rendering possible service to some rhO may be
