AN oxYpoNoR ARGUMENT
Mason L. Knapp Of Woodford Thinks
They're No Good

Editor of the Banner:-For the
last four years / have been reading
newspaper articles on DR.. Sanche
and his appliances, the last one be-
ing published in the Bennington Ban
ner and copied from the Medical
World. All of the writer's of those
articles do not seem to know any
thing about the doctor and less about
his appliances.
DR.. Hercules Sanche was born in
Canada of Spanish parents and while
small child was placed in a con-
vent for education. AS soon as pos
sible he ran away and went to Vir-
ginia. At the breaking out of the
Civil war he joined the rebel army,
acting as surgeon throughout the war
About four years ago DR.. Sanche
and Jasper Bradley, acting as secre-
tary for the doctor, located in this
town, made some erections, named
the location Camp Aragon and began
selling their appliances.
They were here about two years,
thus giving me ample opportunity to
closely study the doctors methods
and carefully investigate his applian-
ces.
The oxydoror is a dry battery, moth
ing more, the cord is an elaborate
affair In the one / examined a cen
trail silk thread is wound about with
several copper wires, the finest l
ever saw Each wire is also closely
wound with a silk thread and when
so wound the wire and thread COM
bined is no larger than & horse hair.
am told in the higher priced ap-
pliance, cocoanut fibre is used instead
of silk. A cord thus made is one of
the finest electrical conductors
known to man. The oxydonor when
thus made and properly applied has
quick and positive action on the sys-
TEN. The principle on which 1t
works is we'll defined and easily I'M
derstood when once known. Let us
now apply the oxydonor We will
fasten the band of the cord on the
warm body of the patient and place
the oxydonor in the ice cold pail of
water if we follow the doctors dir
ections.
We will place it carefully in the
center of the pail so as to have the
same degree of cold on every side
of the oxydonor. The oxydonor and
cord are now the connecting link of
two opposing forces of nature, heat
and cold, the warm body of the pat
lent and the ice cold pail of water.
The oxydonor Immediately begins try
ing to equalize the temperature of
the two by taking nerve force which
is well known to be electrical from
the body of the patient, conducting
it along the cord and thus into the
pail of water And the disciples of
diaduction say along with it all dis
ease, both local and constitutional,
that man is heir to.
But it is not so in fact 1t will
sometimes relieve headache and will
sometimes remove wandering rheu-
matte pains and will always lower
temperature, but in constitutional
organic and wasting diseases, it is
a positive injury, as it can do nothing
but take vitality or nerve force from
the patient and conduct 1t into the
part of water thus actually aiding
the disease instead Of curing it. The
only good thing / ever discovered
about the oxydonor is its liability to
get out of order. The cord or con-
ductor is a frail affair at best and in
the most careful hands will soon get
out of order thus saving many lives
which would otherwise be offered as
sacrifice to the god of Duxanamae.
