Now comes the beautiful story of
it all after had suffered the tor
lures of He'll and lighting the bitter
vale, words OF gratitude cannot ex-
press my love and devotion towards
the little wonder called The Justly
Famous OXygenator and also to Mr..
George Stark for saving my life and
keeping me from the grave, for all
that was lacking was to throw the
dirt over me, when the Great and only
True Friend came to my rescue on
Sunday afternoon, March 18th 1911.

Randall, Mr. w. S. Kelley, of Cosmopo-

of the Washington OXygenator Co.,
Aberdeen, Washingto called at my
house, No. 2404 Pacific avenue, East
Hoquiam, and enQuiring for Mrs
Beames saying they heard of me be
ing the case who the doctors had
sewed piece of gauze inside the alb

talk with me so as to learn the
truth of the case. After | had related
me to try the OXygenator, saying he
believes the OXygenator would be
of great benefit to me. He said if
would give it trial he would bring
one over that evening. This was my
first knowledge of the OXygenatOr, or
knowing there was such a thing on

OXygenatOr, but thought there was
no harm in trying it, and really, to

the machine. and thought it was a
joke. One of my neighbor women
was present at the time Mr.. Stark ap-
piled the OXygenator, and | made the
remark to her that | had as well tie
my brush and comb to a string and
tie them around my ankle as to buck
lie that thing to me, but as Mr.. Stark
was willing to use the machine on
me, and spare his time with me we
put the wonderful little wonder to
work
