1 lieve Tn giving the patient every possible chance for his or her life" That the de- elaration was founded on fact, is demon strated by the superb equipment of the in- stitution conducted by Dr. Dozler and his talented son, pr. Byron Dozier, at 1171a North Twenty first street, Birmingham, Ala. A brief description of some of the electrical apparatus, together with statement of the methods they employ in the cure of consumption and other dis eases susceptible to their methods of treatment would be of interest, as shed ding light upon this most important sub iect. But 1t would be impossible for one of the laity to give any definite idea con corning their manifold machines. electri- cal devicesj and other apparatus consti- tuting their wonderful armamentorium. l These things must be seen to be appre- ciated. Howeevr, this article is written primarily to call attention to the extra ordinary methods of successfully combat ting that most terrible and fatal of mala- dies of this and every other nation of the earth--consumption. The first thing to attract our attention and to be ex- plained to the visitor Is their combina- tion electric ozone generator and medi- cated nebuizer. This comprises a large electric machine weighing more than a ton, to which is attached the ozone gen orator which Is a cylindrical drum-shape
 
 which passes two movable hollow metallic tubes, called the anode and cathode, or positive and negative poles. These poles are adjustable and can be brought nearer or wider apart required to generate ozone when the great electric statis ma chine is put in motion. Attached to this ozone generator by flexible rubber tube is connected the beautiful and magnificent nebulzer, which in itself Is comprised of large gilded copper tank, air re- servoir and Is surmounted by a dozen or more transparent glass jars or recep- tacles for holding the various medicated volitile oils to be used in the treatment of various pulmonary afections. The large reservoir or tank, Is filled with com pressed air by means of an electrically operated pump and Is arranged as to admit of the passage of this compressed air through any one or combination of medicated oil reeeptacles. to become puri- fled and medicated before passing into the ozone generator. To which generator Is affixed a large flexible rubber tube, or hose, which Is provided with a mouth piece to fit over the mouth and nose of the patient.
 The static machine is then put in oper- alton by means of an electric motor, which sets it's large glass plates revolv- ing. thus generating the electric current
  into ozone, the highest form of oxygen and the greatest antiseptic yet discov- cred. The patient, with the mouth piece, while sitting or standing proceeds to breathe in an ordinary way from this tube, or hose inhaling the compound volatile principals of these medicated oils and ozone. Thus the seat of the disease, which is the lungs, is reached directly by a method the most direct positive and eff f1cient ever designed by the genius of scientific men and is undoubtedly the most rational and practical of all meas ures ever adopted for the cure of con sumption. But this wonderful combina- ton does not by any means constitute the entire system employed by these doc tors In the curing of their patients, as they believe that to every drowning man no straw should be withheld at which they might be permitted to catch and therefore have provided for the dispensing to their patients every best endorsed remedy which has been found by the profession to be of any practical value. They also give to their patients medi- cated steam inhalations and electric vi- bration, and electrical kataphoresis and the Fnsen ultra violet ray treatments. In fine they are prepared to give to the victim of consumption not less than seven advantageous mediums or means of get ting well. whereas. the ordinary prac-
