 Compound Oxygen treatment, for many forms of chronic disease, has passed be- yond the experimental stage. Its thor oughly scientific basis Is apparent to every thoughtful person who tries it faithfully. It invigorates the whole system, builds up the parts wasted by disease, strengthens the weak places in the human system, gives delightful rest by quieting the nerves. It is taken by inhalation, and is exceedingly pleasant in its immediate ef- fects. It often relieves at once acute pains, and ill effects from it's use are as yet unknown here. It is valuable as- sistant in some cases in connection with regular medical treatment, and does not interfere with any ordinary course of med icine, where such is deemed necessary.

It can be used as a card table, a writing table, a cutting table. or to hold a dainty lunch in the sick room, where it can be folded and put out of sight as soon as it's no longer wanted. For summer cottages there's nothing better. With a few camp stools, for picnicking or camping out it's just the thing, as it takes up very little room in boat or wagon. Polished oak or baize top.
