FLEMINGToN, n. j., Oct 81, 1855.
Drs. STARKEY & PALEN.-Dcar Sirs: Your
letter under the date Of October 25th came 10
hand last evening and hasten to reply.
am sorry you felt it neediul to ask per.
mission 10 do a thing so obviously right, and
a thing that / am myself doing at every favor
able opportunity, VIZ, state for the benefit of
other sufferers what Compound Oxygen has
done for me-
You certainly andAOst cheerfully have my
unqualified permission 20 use any information
concerning my case that you have or that can
give.
What il did for me is so remarkable that il is
with difdence | tell the TkOte truth, except
where | am we'll known.
During the war; at the battle of Fredercks-
burg, "a mimic ball went crashing through my
spine lengthwise, passing, the surgeons said, as
close to the spinal cord it could and not sever
it. Inflammation was only kept down by treat
ment with ice III Washington, for a month at
terwaTd
By spells since, and sometimes for about a
year together, the suffering has amounted to
extreme agony, so great that insanity, It
seems, must have been the result had / not
been quoted with morphine before | got the
Compound Oxygen. The last pull" L had
land | had them at intervals OF about two
years. ended with the use of Compound Oxy-
gen in the Summer of lSS2.
The day the Compound Oxygen came was
not able to sit up TO have my bed made, so sat
up in bed 10 inhale, and thought As | did SO,
Sold again; this will amount 10 nothing"
However, determined to follow directions, /
inhaled again in the evening, and instead OF
six doses of morphine that evening, rs 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 in less than week | rode out
in "A carriage two or three miles, and in less
than two weeks pdiked Ton crutches) n quarter
of mile at a time.
Like most OF all who get up feeling so
good, but whose judgment is as feeble as the
body, l would OyeEio and get down, but
would get up almost AS soon. These downs
and ups covered a space of perhaps three
months since which time have not been con-
fined to the bed nor the house for a day; butO
course an injury SO great is a permanent one.
| OF such nature is tho injury that NJ times
(more likely after spell of writing) any per-
son standing close tonne when | turn my head
| slowly can hear a grating sound, similar to that
produced by rubbing knife on a MILESTONE
| OF course such a managing and tearing of the
nerves centering do they not p along the
spine leaves me in a constantly enfeebled con-
| dition, but when the brain feels strained and
the nerves sensitive few days use of the
Compound Oxygen brings back lhas every time
far an increase of vitality, and all the health
that can be put into body that has been sc
harshly handled, and much more than you doc
tors encouraged me to hope for when asked
your advice concerning it. / regard Compound
Oxygen as natures strong right hand for re-
pairing bodily waste and damage.
Yours truly, (Rev.) j. c. SUNDERLIN.
