news of the great reduction in the

the second lesson will be equally as

DRS. STARKEY g. PAlEN'S
TREATMENT BY INHALATION,
1929 Arch ST., Philadelphia, PA.

The original and only genuine Com.
pound Oxygen Treatment, that of Drs.
Starkey d Palen, is scientific adjustment
OF the elements Of Oxygen and Nitrogen
md9netized;; and the compound is so con
densed and made portable that it is sent
all over the country.
1t has been in use for more than twenty
years; thousands of patients have been
treated, and over one thousand physicians
have used it, and recommend it-a very
significant fact.
The great success of our Treatment has
given rise TO a host of imitators, unscrupu-
lous persons; some calling their prepara-
uons Compound Oxygen, often appropria-
ting our testimonials and the names OF our
patients, to recommend worthless concoc-
tons. But any substance made elsewhere
or by others, and called Compound Oxy-
gen, is spurious.
"Compound Orygen-Hs Mode If Action
ana Results" is the title Of new book of
2UO pages, published by Drs. Starkev &
falen, which gives to all inquirers full in.
formation as 10 this remarkable curative
agent, and record of surprising cures in a
wide range ofchronic cases-many of them
after being abandoned to die by other phys.
Icians. Will be mailed free to any address
on application.
