A Railroad Presidents Views.

In these busy times when city people have
to go long distances and are III too much of
hurry to walk, the street railway enterprise
has risen to be one of the important interests
of modern finance and industry. 1t requires
shrewd and able men to manage it, and it gener-
ally rewards them with prosperous distinction
among the business men of the day. One of
the most prosperous and best known of the
New York street railway men is J. NJ. Reybert,
Esq, who is President of the Houston, West
and Pavonia Ferry line. The man who achieves
success in this street railway business does so at
considerable outlay of brain and nerve power.
Managing such an enterprise may look like
easy work, but let those who think it so make
trial of it. Mr.. Reybert found no beds of roses
III his way to prosperity, but by constant and
severe attention to business fell into state of
invalidism which threatened to carry him off.
He is now, however, restored to health and as
busy as ever
Our New York correspondent visited Mr.
Reybert at the Office Of the company on East
Tenth street, and found him busy superintend-
ing the details Of the business Mr.. Reybert
cheerfully assented to the request that he
should tell something about his experience of
sickness and recovery.
"It was four or five years ago." said Mr..
Reybert, " that began to run down in health.
1t was partly owing to too close application to
business and partly to the unwhOlesOme atmos-
phere of the place in which / had to spend

wherever the pain came there came also black
spots. Then rheumatism developed into sci

sciatica was very severe, with sudden aches
shooting down the nerves of both legs.
"When / tried the Oxygen was astonished
to find that with little practice could inhale
it freely. Yet for several days each inhalation
would send pain to some old spot. The ache
would continue for fifteen or twenty minutes
and then go away. Gradually l was free from
these pains and could inhale the Oxygen with
out difficulty or unpleasant result.

not done before l omitted to tell you that
with my other disorders l also had dyspepsia.
Sometimes this would distress me to such an
extent that did not care for company. 1t made
my appetite poor, and the food ate didme but
little good. The Oxygen repaired my digestive
organs as itdid everything else about me. had
also suffered from catarrh so badly that lost
the sense of smell. Well, this Oxygen is very
strange sort of thing for it drove away the
rheumatism and sciatica; it made my digestion
so much better that / can now eat like other
people, and it entirely cured me of catarrh
Once in a while if take cold have a little
catarrh, but few inhalations of Oxygen sends
it away. During all my use of this remedy I
have received advice at the Compound Oxygen
office, No. 14S Fifth avenue, and have followed
directions in the use of the powders there given
me. / have found them of great benefit with
the Oxygen and the Oxygenaqua."

have received so much benefit from this remedy
that suppose you have advised others to use

have heard that it has been Of great advantage.
One case will mention-that of Mr.. Samuel ].
Holmes, of this city, a gentleman well advanced
in years. He had long been troubled with
asthma. He used the Oxygen for seven or
eight weeks before it made much impression
on him. Then, almost all of sudden, it be-
gan to do its work. 1t did all we could have
expected. 1t made him breathe freely, natur-
ally, and without pain. lie quotes it as largo
success, just as do.
Yes sir; you may put me down as thorough
believer in Compound Oxygen. l am not tax
ing it now, except little occasionally, because
am we'll and hearty. If l am sick again give
me Compound Oxygen. 1t is a wonderful re-
storer."
So say all who give it a fair trial. There are
yet a good many people chronic sufferers and
others who have not tried it. cit is never too
late to mend" Write to DRs STARKEY & Pa
