Almost, Iucredjble-

And yet the following relation is true in
every particular, and can be verified by any one
who desires to do SO.
Mr.. VIM. III. Whitley is widely known to the
wholesale dry-goods trade in this country for
his long and active connection with the silk
and wOrsted mills of Darby, Pa, near Phla-
delphia. He is a gentleman in middle life, in
robust health, actively attending to business
and enjoying the comforts of his elegant rural
home No one would suppose, from his appear
ance, that for long years he was martyr to that
most distressing disease, sciatic neuralgia By
what means he was restored from an almost
helpless condition to sound health is the story
we have to present, and We will let Mr.. Whitley
tell it himself:
II enjoyed good health" said he to press
reporter who had heard of his case and called
upon him to make inquiry about it, "until
about fourteen years ago, when one dark Win
ters night fell into an excavation made for
culvert. With my feet in cold water and nv
legs across log was in helpless condition
for seven hours. When l was taken out
/ was insensible. For month | was confined
TO bed. On recovering sufficiently to sit up
found that my digestion was impaired and that
l had obstinate sciatic trouble in both legs With
this came acute facial neuralgia. My Uhotenerpous
system shattered. Sometime after l was able
TO walk a little feeling like paralysis aDould take
hold Of ne and you'd fall 10 the ground. At
night instead of sleeping soundly would roll
about hopelessly for hours. acas IN a constant
state Of ,geariness and torture. / tried various
medical treatments, without regard to expense
but got no relief. l gave up business for
while and went to Colorado, but it did not help
me.
AS / had tried almost everything else I
thought would try Compound Oxygen, which
l had seen advertised as vitalizer. During
my protracted illness, which had now lasted
for over dozen years, had made close study
of the nerves and had concluded that vitaliz-
ing was what i needed. If this Compound
Oxygen could give renewed vitality it was
exactly what wanted. l knew that it would
be severe test for the Treatment, for here /
was with my nervous system shattered, my digestion
IN bad order, nay eyeSig troubling me- my legs fall
ing me and my po,Oers Of sleep practically gone
"Well, / took the Treatment at Drs. Starkey
s. Palen's Office. Improvement was soon visible,
but it was not rapid. / had to be patient, but
had the best Of encouragement in doing SO.
For about six months continued the Treat
ment with persistent regularity and with the
most satisfying results. became able to attend

excellent health; really enjoy it, for you can
imagine what JOY it is to be well again after
my long years of suffering"
Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1929 Arch ST., Phila-
delphia, will send free to any one who will
write for it, their Treatise on Compound Oxy-
gen, from which all desired information in re-
gard to this wonderful Treatment can be
obtained.
