NEW YORK CITY-THE EXPERIENCE OF
MIR. HETlRICK.

There was time in the history Of New York
when the whole provision business of the city
ceutered in Washington and Fulton markets.
These markets were queer old collections of
tumble-down sheds, and, to speak as mildly as
possible, were not an ornament TO the city. They
have within few years been rebuilt, and are
now spacious and elegant. But much Of the
provision business has scattered itself around
town among the stores Of the green grocers, and
a great deal of it has gone to certain new mar
Eets which have been built up town. One of the
most elegant of these markets is the Central"
at Broadway and FOrty-eighth street For con-
venience and for perfect cleanliness ii is model
market. Passing through it we find among the
butter and produce men Matthew Hettricz Esq,
one OF the largest dealers in butter and cheese in
the city. Mr Hettrick has grown up in the busi-
ness, and is thoroughly familiar with every
detail of IT,
Although Mr. Hettrick had long been pros
porous butter merchant, he was for many years
severely annoyed with catarrh, bronchitis and
dyspepsia. a combination like this is enough
to make any man miserable.
To our New York correspondent Mr.. Hettrick
gave an account of his diseases aud his recovery.
For twenty-five years / had a great deal of
trouble with my head and throat. had both
catarrh and bronchitis, which were not only
annoying, but very painful / was treated by
the regular doctors, and by specialists who give
their whole attention to these diseases But
neither the regulars nor the specialists did me
any lasting good. i must have inherited these
diseases, for two brothers of mine also had
them, and died of them. am nearly sure that
one OF these brothers could have been saved,
had he taken in time the remedy which has
now restored me to health"
And may ask what that remedy is, Mr..
Hettrick2"
% 1t is what they call Compound Oxygen.
About year ago l heard Of this; had seen it
advertised. First sent to Philadelphia for it
the headquarters. Then / found they had an
office here on Fifth avenue,-No. 14S,-and
got treatment or two there, together with a
good deal of advice from the physician in
charge. Did it do me good? Well, you see
me now you ought to have seen me before
took this Compound Oxygen. My ca
tarrhal discharge was very profuse. My voice
was hollow. i was suffering about equal dis
treSs from the catarrh and the bronchitis, and
added to these was the distress of the dyspepsia.
Every little cold / caught would make me
worse. am exposed to a great deal here in
the market, where | spend much of my time.
There are draughts in all directions, and in raw
weather, when doors are constantly opening and
shutting it is enough to give we'll man con-
sumption or pneumonia.
Three days after l began to inhale Com
pound Oxygen my voice became better, and
was much encouraged by seeing that there was
chance for me TO mend generally. i was
surprised and gladdened to see how soon the
oxygen did its work on the catarrh. 1t was
not mere drying up of the discharges; that
L had had before, by the aid of some Of the
specialists. But let me tell you what man
needs who has catarrh. He wants all the
organs of his head and throat put in such
healthy condition that the discharges don't
come. That is what Compound Oxygen did
for me. / can't account for it except on the
theory that this remedy strengthened and
built up my whole system. 1t certainly helped
me out of all these three troubles together,
and at about the same time-Catarrh bron-
chltis, dyspepsia. My recovery was steady;
was gaining all the time. Sometime, if
caught cold, would lose a little, but always
gained more than | lost, and so went on until
1 got to where you see me now"
Well, Mr.. Hettrick, you now look like q
perfectly we'll man."
That is exactly what am, abating only a
little for wear and tear, and considering what
endured for so many years. Once in a while
find have a little eatarrh left, and sometimes
feel a little Inconvenience from an attack of
indigestion. But these things are trihes COM
pared with what used to suffer- NV general
health is very good. / can stand all the duties
OF my business. / can bear exposure to the
weather. i eat pretty much what other folks
eat, aud have a fair Appetite; and / think
people who see me would not take me for a
| man who had been sick.
remedy which can thus drive out such a
three-fold combination Of twenty y-fve-year-old
disorder as catarrh, bronchitis and dyspepsia is
| something OF which every invalid ought to
know. Compound Oxygen works such wonders
that all people, sick or well, should read the
| interesting little brochure about it which is
| published and mailed free Of charge by Drs
Starkey & Palen. 1929 Arch street, Philadel-
phia. Also, several other works on chronic
diseases
