scoFF AT OXYGEN FAD.
Doctors Here say the Effect is Only
That Of Fresh Air.

That of Fresh Air.
Physicians in this city said yester-
day that there was not much likeli-
hood that oxygen would be added to
the list of stimulants from the evil et
fects of which they shall need to re.
lease their patients. They read with
interest the special cable dispatch
from London to the New York Times
in which 1t was said that the latest
fad in England was to inhale oxygen,
but thought that the writer who de-
clared that fifteen gallons of the gas
had made him more inclined to wres-
lie than to write was drawing on his
imagination.
Il don't see how the effect could
possibly last one hour" said DR.. John
Van Doren Young after he had read
the dispatch. THE effect of oxygen
is entirely eyanescent. 1t is not like
that of a drug, which may be felt for
a long time after it has been taken.
That is one of our difficulties in ad.
ministering it, 1t is necessary to go
on giving it or its value ceases"
What effect would it produce on
the body?" the doctor asked.

effect as a breath of pure air. II

Ruskln's Iona Sentences.
