DETROIT DOCTOR SAYS
"OyYOONOR" is A FAKE
New York Judge Holds Same
View of Apparatus Extensively
Advertised In Detroit Papers.
BY FINANCE.

BY the use OF black type in big
ads, in Detroit newspapers that ac-
cept any old copy that is accompanied
by the money" Dr Hercules Sanche
has been endeavoring TO interest De-
troit physicians in his "Oxydonor,"
concerning the merits OF which there
is wide difference In what the ad-
vertising has TO say about II and
what reputable physicians and the
Judge OF a New York court think
about IT,
DIR. SanChe cannot advertise his
"OXydonor" in The Times
This newspaper refused to accept
his copy.
was much amazed and interested
when ] saw the doctors ad, headed
Attention. Physicians!
| asked a number of them what
they thought about the advertisement
and also what they thought about the
wonderful curative properties of this
great invention.
1T is pure fake" said DR.. John
f. Clark, There is absolutely moth
ing TO IL but fake and the advertis-
Ing In INSCRIPTIONS newspapers. We
have had analyses made of the con
tents Of the nickel-plated cylinders
that are sold TO suffering humanity
for S25 apiece and there is nothing
but plain ordinary everyday charcoal
In them. You will get absolutely the
same effect If you tie a fatiron TO
a piece of string and tie the string
around your ankle. The virtuous
properties OF Oxydonor exist entirely
in the imagination"
Not long ago an attempt was made
in New York 10 invoke the medical
practice law against DR.. Sanche and
his "OXydonor." The case failed. how.
ever because DR.. Sanche does not
himself prescribe the wonderful rem
cdy for the individual patient and his
methods smack more OF the retail
vendor OF business methods than OF
the medical practitioner, and because
the Judge could not bring ii within
the intention Of the statute to stop
the sale OF such manufactures
lhe Judge. however, in summing up
the case. made his opinion on the arti-
Gle clear. He said: There has been
a studied attempt 10 stimulate sales
by fulsome praise, vague explanations
Of the force and virtue OF diaduction
ard exuberant representations OF the
Lenefts derivable hy using the inven-
iion-all to attract the attention OF
the curious and credulous.
From the record OF the evidence
we have tried TO get some intelligent
ihea OF daduction. We have failed
utterly. Mr. Justice Shiras. now OF

entirely certain that ! do not under

force, II any such exists and ! greatly

Gear perception OF the force or prin-
ciple which he seeks to describe under
the name of diaduction"
An Independent description OF dia-
duction. the one which does not ap-
pear in any Of the Oxydonor advertis-
ing, but one which strikes me as be-
ing absolutely truthful is as follows.
The instrument consists OF cylindri-
cal portion and disc portion, the two
being connected by flexible wire.
The cylinder is laced In cold water.
