A F'8V Facts.

Arcmedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given ov0r by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment OF Drs. Starkey
& PaIen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful IN
curing many cases of catarrh ma
Iarial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration. and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, rs the name 'hey
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, Is spurious

to Bolar.
This is your correspondents first
visit to this place and to say that
he and his family are happily sit
uated and we'll pleased with the
generous treatment extended, is but
modeStly stating the matter. Be-
sides, the general aspect Of the
country is such as is calculated to
surprise the lover of Nature with
pleasure unalloyed. The noun
tains on every hand are grandly
picturesque, rising almost purpen-
dicularly about us. Nearly every
variety Of trees indigenous to Vir-
ginia soil is found here while the
native fern hangs in luxuriant
growth from high up on the rocks.
The wild flowers, too, find congeni-
al environments and flourish in
great perfection. In short the
great Designer has constructed
here one Of natures best restorers
It's matter of continued surprise
to your correspondent that this
property has never fallen into the
hands Of men with enterprise to de-
velop it. Certainly large invest
ment could be made here with prof
it. He is sure he has never seen d
more copious flow Of curative waters
unless it be from some Of the arte-
sian wells of the West. These wat
ers have been found to be effacaci-
Gus IN the treatment Of blood and
cetaneous diseases, neurosis, etc.
No doubt with proper manage
ment this could be made the equal
of the most celebrated watering
place in the State. AS it, is however
it enjoyes but a local reputation
with but the veriest few visitors
throughout the entire health anC
pleasure seeking season. Up t.
this year Of grace the water has no
ever been analysed.

This total has been surpassed IN
only three weeks in the history OF
