Bellingham, Wash, Sept 1910.
Ir. W. L. Below, Local Manager Wash.
Oxygenator Co, Bellingham, Wash.
Dear Sir: I have been using an
Oxygenator for about two months for a
case of rheumatism of seven years
standing that the doctors and medicine
failed to cure. So effective has the
application of the OXygenator been in
my case, a cure has already been prac-
!cally accomplished.
My husband, who has been a long suf-
ferer from asthma and deafness has also
used the Oxygenator with marvellous
results. He now sleeps well at nights,
can hear much better and has gained
five pounds in flesh since he started the
treatment. He is II years of age.
We also used it on our Son-in-laW. who
was stricken with a severe pain in his
back 1t cured him in a few days and
he has purchased machine for his own
use.
We have never discovered anything to
equal 1t in our experience, and we have
tried almost everything in our efforts to
get relief. We consider the OXygenator
the wonder of the age, and one of the
greatest blessings to humanity.
We trust this testimonial, which we
feel it our duty to offer. will be the
means of causing other homes to adopt
this method Of treatment
Yours truly,

Dear Sirs: For the benefit of the
many parents who have this dreadful
disease, Infantile Paralysis, in their
homes, want to give my testimonial
for what wonders the OXygenator did
for my one year old baby.
He was paralized in both limbs. For
over four months he could not even
move a toe, his right limb from the
hip to the knee was swollen twice the
natural size, also in both the ankles.
During these four months and
half he could not bear TO touch or
handle him in any way, it panied him
so that he would scream. He had no
appetite and was restless day and
night

Dear Sir-I sincerely hope you will
accept my Endorsement as to the eff
cheney of the much famed OXygenator.
I had been feeling bad for the last three
weeks and was hardly able to move
about On the evening of Oct. 21st I
took a severe chill and from that time
on I was confined to my bed. On the
23rd of October you We're called In. I
commenced to realize I was pretty sick.
I had no faith in the OXygenator what
soever. but when a few hours after I
applied it I found that faith played no
part in the action of this machine, for I
was perspiring freely In four hours after
it was applied. It was then that could
see and was made to understand that 1t
possessed mighty power and from that
moment my skepticism vanished.
Usually people made sick by weakness
are long time recovering, and although
I was weak from the first three days
treatment I began to get Strong and am
feeling fine and all right now.
I wish to say to every skeptical per-
son. be just and give the OXygenator a
trial. It's to your interest and you will
be the gamer thereby. Yours very,
