TIMES STILL WAITING
FOR 0XYDON0R'S PROOFS
Wants Competent Physicians To
Judge and By Tests Rather
Than Aged Testimonials
Bv FINANCE.

lhe OXydonor outnt apparently has
cuped enough more sick people into
buying the therapeutic gas.pipes To
pay for some more Advertising space
In the papers that accept any copy
that can show the money. They bios
somed out with two-page advertise
ment Sunday full OF all the old bunk
about Dr. Sanche's wonderfully sue
cessfIl fake.
Like all the rest Of the fakirs tho
Oxydonor people call for e test OF
their fake terms to be arranged by
themselves with plenty of places out
OF which they can gracefully slide.
Exhibits "A" "B" and &C" In the
adv ertsing OF Sunday consisted OF
some affidavits by physicians present
60 In evidence in a case that was
tried nearly twelve years ago out I'm
Iowa. have already printed tho
opinion OF the Judge In this case In
which he practically rendered
Scotch verdict OF guilty. but not prov
en-"
These affidavits purport TO prove
that the use OF the OXydonor raised
the temperature OF the patients on
wnom il was administered more than
n degree in the short space OF fifteen
minutes. When you stop TO think
what an accomplishment, this is
yor cannot but marvel at the wonder
ful discovery of DR.. Sanche. II Is a
great thing 10 be able TO confne in
an inert piece or gas-pipe sufficient
energy TO raise the temperature OF
10 pounds OF solid flesh and bone a
full degree in fifteen minutes. To get
at what II means, figure how much
hea' IL required to raise $50 pounds
Of water a like amount
But, and this is very important, II
does not require the sworn testimony
OF unknown physicians, taken IL years
ago TO prove TO the people OF Detroit
that the Oxydonor will accomplish
these results. The results can be ac-
complished just as we'll here in Detroit
before Detroit physicians or anyone
else who Is capable OF taking scien-
tific records today as they were In
Iowa or New York: or any of the other
spots where the miracle was done.
As the readers OF The Times will
remember. at the suggestion OF the
Oxydonor outfit, attempted 70 get
some results in the way OF tenIpera-
ture changes with Oxydonor myself.
following the directions closely. The
results, as | stated. sere entirely
without significance and there was no
indication that the Oxydonor had any
thing 10 do with the slight fall in tenn
perature recorded, instead of the ex-
pected rise.
The Oxydonor company could make
far more convincing exhibit IL they
would get some mechanical engineers
mr. ri OF nr Nuh
stands scientific methods OF accurate
measurement and make their tests
under their supervision. They can
not blame me for being very skeptical
of their 12-year-old affldavits when
find that the experiments, which the
doctors quoted swear they made, can
not be reproduced under the same
conditions
We too. have been asking for
scientific demonstration before any
competent body 10 see whether the
60 cents worth OF brass. lead and
bunk can really do S25 worth OK
good, As we have stated before We
will pay no attention TO testimonials
or anything Of that sorr because they
are absolutely incompetent evidence,
for n large number OF reasons.
We. too, are perfectly willing to
ABIDE by the decision of any court
AID We have been wondering why the
Oxydonor OUTFIT does not come into
court with the evidence TO prove that
its fake device is not fake. II there
were any real evidence TO that effect
available we might find ourselves In
difficulties.
There is nothing new in the
proofs. that the Oxydonor sales
agents have submitted through their
partners in the Free Press. II has all
been carefully considered and the
oIly important conclusion that can
be drawn from them is that they are
not proofs
Ii there are any real proofs let us
have them. II the Oxydonor can
show itself to be what II claims to
be, shall be glad TO help II along.
4. i'll case OF failure OF the dOxydonor
Eafes department. 70 make good IN n
scientific demonstration. they will
agree TO abandon their efforts to dupc
the people OF Detroit.
