HOW A WOUNDED SOLDIER FOUND
RELIEF

| tLEMISGTON, n. j Oct. II, 1885.
| DRS. STARKEY * PALEE: Dear Sirs-
Your letter under the date of October 18th
came to hand last evening and hasten to
reply.
l am sorry you felt it needful to ask
permission" TO do a thing so obviously
right, and a thing that am myself doing
at every favorable opportunity, viz, state
! for the benefit of other sufferers what
Compound Oxygen has done for me.
You certainly and most cheerfully have
nay unqualified permission to use any in
formation concerning my case that you
| have, or that l can give.
What 1T did for me is so remarkable
that it is with difiidence tell the lCh0te
truth. except where am well known.
During the war, at the battle of Freder-
icks burg, a mimic ball went crashing
| through my spine lengthwlse, passing,
the surgeons said, as close to the spinal
cord as it could and not sever it. Intiam-
nation was only kept down by treatment
with ice in Washington for a month after
wards.
BY spells since, and sometimes for about
year together, tue suffering has amounted
To extreme agony, so great that insanity,
it seems, must have been the result, had
not been Quieted with morphine before
! got the Compound Oxygen. The last
pull" had land | had them at intervals
OF about two years. ended with the use of
Compound Oxygen in the summer of 1882.
The day the Compound Oxygen came l
was not able to sit up to have my bed
made, so sat up in bed to inhale, and
thought as did so sold again, this will
amount to nothing"
However, determined to follow direc-
lions, inhaled again i'll the evening, and
instead of six doses of morphine that
evening, as on the evening before, only
took one small dose. and slept more than
usual and better. The next night took no
morphine and slept good eight hours, and
III less than week rode out in a carriage
two or three miles, and in less than two
weeks lCatked ION crutches) a quarter of a
mile at a time.
Like most of all who get up feeling $50
good" but whose judgment is as feeble as
the body, would over do and get down,
but would get up almost as soon. These
downs and ups covered a space OF perhaps
three months, since which time l have not
been confined to the bed nor the house for
a day; but of course an injury so great is
permanent one. OF such nature is the
injury, that at times more likely after a
spell OF writing) any person standing close
to me when L turn my head slowly, can
hear grating sound similar to that pro-
duced by rubbing knife on milestone.
OF course such mangling and tearing of
the nerves centering lido they not0 along
the spine leaves me in a constantly
enfeebled condition, but when the brain
feels strained and the nerves sensitive,
lew Gays use OF Jne compound oxygen
brings back (has every time so far an in
crease of vitality, and all the health that
can be put into a body that has been so
harshly handled, and much more than
you doctors encouraged me to hope for
when | asked your advice concerning it.
! regard Compound Oxygen as natures
strong right hand for repairing bodily
waste and damage. Yours truly,
Rev) j. G. SUNDERLIN.
