oyerwork.. There is q sort of headache which
is peculiarly the lot of the bank man closely |
applying himself to business. With 1T comes |
weary aud broken-dOwn sensation OF Inability |
to give full attention to business. All this Mr. |
Howard suffered, with lack of appetite, loss of
flesh, and the other symptoms which with I'M |
pleasant plainness tell the story of dyspepsia:

to one Of our correspondents who visited hlm
at his coy cottage at Stafford Springs. " My
wife was greatly concerned about me- had
taken advice and medicine from the regular
physicians, but with very little advantage
Some friends of my wife had taken Compound
Oxygen, and had sent her circulars and PAM
phetS about it. She much interested IN
what she read of it, aud said she thought this
was what needed. While she was away from
home for two or three weeks sent for Treat

Oxygen on me when | tell you that, although
1 had not told my wife had got it, she noticed

that was in better spirits. and consequently
in improved health"
Had the Compound Oxygen then so soon
begun its good work on your"
ayes; it did its work much more quickly
than l had any reason to expect. was sur
prised. for although anticipated good results
had not supposed that they would be felt SO
quickly. Within week | was SO much better
that was going to put the Oxygen away and
take no more of it. But l concluded that 1T
would be better to keep on with 1t awhile L
did so for few weeks and was so completely
restored to health that had no further need
for any remedy That was three years ago.
Since that / have never been without Com
pound Oxygen in the house, and l do not In
tend to be without it at any time"
Then you have had to resort to it pretty
much all the time?"
"By no means; only occasionally, when l

nv wife has used it and derived great benefit
from it, and so have the children.
"I believe nv wife would have been dead
| but for Compound Oxygen. Her lungs troubled
her. The pain was very severe, particularly
in the left lung. The symptoms were those OF

through nearly all the cold weather and with
the most remarkable effect. 1t strengthened

"As for the chiIdren my boy is eight years
old. He has grown up quickly, and Is hall

age He has taken Compound Oxygen tor

utmost confidence in it for him. Baby IS SIX

grown person. She had a cold with catarrhal
symptoms, and was entirely relieved and cured

myself am naturally disposed to catarrh. Since

three years. the catarrhal troubles have not

"Three or four weeks ago l was suddenly
taken down with quinsy. Compound oxygen
had done so much for HE in other respects that
I tried it for this took it pretty hot, putting
the tube well down my throat so as to reach the
sore and swollen parts. Almost at once 1t
brought down the swelling and took away the
pain. Do you wonder that so thoroughly be-

AZ think you said you had friends who had
used it, Mr.. Howard? Has their success With

ommend it to every friend that have.
"a lady who was with us, but who now lives
in Boston, was troubled with severe colds. My
wife urged her to use Compound Oxygen. 1t
is all folly she replied. when one OF my
hard colds takes hold of me must let 1t run
and take its course But the Oxygen broke
I'D in three DAYS as sever u cold as she had ever
been taken with.
"My sister, who lives in New Haven, mar
ried lady, some "a years ago strained her voice
and injured her lungs and throat. the injury
resulting in chronic bronchitis. For about
three years she has used Compound Oxygen
which has kept her alive for she was very neal
dying That she should be entirely cured Of
such deep-seated and protracted malady would
be too much to expect But she has been
greatly relieved and her life made incOmpara
bly, more comfortable than it otherwise could
have been.
"a Young LADY, a friend of ours, living few
miles out of town, has for long time been
troubled with lung disease. The doctor said
| her left lung was badly diseased, and 1t wa:
only question of time when she must die
Her digestive and other functions were muci
deranged. Both she and her sister were preJu
diced against the use of Compound Oxygen
and the only way | could induce them to con
sent to the use of it was to send for Treat
ment' and assure them that if it did no gooC
in three or four weeks l would stand the ex
pense of it, week after she began to use II
She said that she never had tried anything
which had done her so much good.
.She has now improved wonderfully, though
of course not yet entirely cured; but oh, now
different from what she was.
"Mr. NJ. G.. Kinney, our Town Clerk OF Stat
ford, had two or three attacks OF asthma. The
old-school physician, who had treated him, o
course condemned Compound Oxygen, and sale
it was no better than so much warm water
Mr.. Kinney took the oxygen, however, anC
was greatly relieved"
"Well, Mr.. Howard, you really seem to have
become sort of an apostle of Compound Oxy
gen to all your friends and nelghbors. Is u
not SOP"
"Call it what you choose. / believe in thi:
thing with all my heart. Whatever IL is nlaus

it has accomplished for me and my friends, anc
therefore / freely advise those who are sick Il
use it. And have seen its benefit in relieving
those who were too far gone for entire recovery
, 1t cannot be expected to work miracles; bu
, even to relieve those who must die is great
achievement for ALL Here, for instance, is the
case of a young lady who was taken with {
severe throat difficulty, which settled on hel
lungs and ran into consumption. had some
, Compound Oxpgen in the house and placed Il
at her disposal. This Was too late to save her
, for she was by this time very far gone. She
lived for few weeks, but during those weeks
she experienced great relief. The family
wished that they had known of Compound Oxy
gen, and had used it, long before.
"Anether-a gentleman and his wife, wht
are now in California. The lady had a can
kered sore throat and bad cough. The doc

Her husband disliked to displease the medica
man by trying remedy contrary to his advice,
but l asked him which he would rather do

wife and confound the doctor. He finally sem

sore throat soon got we'll. She began to gair
in her general strength and health. They hat

them. The lady is now strong and hearty, witt
her health entirely restored.
