LETTER FROM AN OLD PATIENT

We make an extract from a letter recently received from one of our patients, which shows the permanent effects of the Oxygen Treatment: “You will, no doubt, remember me as one of your patients of more than a year ago. I am not entirely cured, nor ever expect to be, as my busine is such that as long as I am able to be about I must go. I am manager of a large grain and stock farm, and my busine keeps me out of doors most of the time, which is a decided benefit to me. I have felt stronger this year than ever before, and have done ten times as much work as ever before. I still have a part of the last Treatment, which I use once in awhile when I am not feeling good, and it immediately revives me . Only this morning I had a bad headache, and felt badly; I took an inhalation of the Oxygen and felt like another man .” Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen is sent free of charge . It contains a history of the discovery, nature, and action of this new remedy, and a record of many of the remarkable results which have so far attended its use. Also sent free , “ Health and Life ,” a quarterly record of cases and cures under the Compound Oxygen Treatment. Depository on Pacific Coast. —H. E.

PALEN Ph.B., M.D. | 1109 and 1111 Girard St. (between Chestnut & Market), Phila., Pa. | transcriber’s Notes Unle listed below, the text of the source document has been retained, including inconsistencies, dubious, unusual and archaic spellings, mixed languages (all including proper and geographical names), etc. (The absence of) accents and other diacritic als and other errors (in particular in non-English words and phrases) have not been corrected either. Factual errors (including dates and names), contradictions, duplications, repetitions, ambiguities and debatable calculations, formulas, definitions and descriptions have not been individually noted or corrected, but have been copied verbatim. Except in the Index of Illustrations, the occasional mistakes in the alphabetical order of the articles have not been corrected. Hyperlinks have usually been inserted only where there was another article describing the topic or where there was an explicit references to another article (for example by the use of italics or Small Capitals when referring to a subject). Where appropriate, hyperlinks link directly to the subject of the article, not nece arily to the phrase or keyword mentioned. For example, the article Aluminium Bronze ends with See Ordnance, Metals for; the hyperlink goes directly to the section Aluminium Bronze in the article Ordnance, Metals for rather than to the main article. In some cases the hyperlink leads to the article describing (or mentioning) the subject rather than to the listed article where the latter does not exist, or where the listed article merely refers to a further article. In case of circular references (e.g., article Crown, Triumphal: see Triumphal Crown; article Triumphal Crown: see Crown, Triumphal), or where the target article does not mention the subject or does not exist at all, no hyperlinks have been inserted. Plates and illustrations: the spelling and/or language of the captions may differ significantly from those in the body of the text and the Index to Illustrations. Some captions were largely illegible, and have been reconstructed based on the Index of Illustrations or on the main text where po ible. Underneath each plate in the end of the book are the (usually enlarged) individual illustrations from the plate. Several of the illustrations were of rather poor quality, and it may not always be po ible to read measurements or texts inside illustrations, nor has it always been po ible to transcribe them. Where po ible and nece ary to see all details, hyperlinks to even larger illustrations have been provided (available in the on-line html format, but not nece arily in other formats). Several of the individual illustrations lack a caption; only when it is clear what the caption should be (i.e., a clear, unambiguous illustration that is listed in the Index of Illustrations) has a caption been inserted, as listed below. Some illustrations have been rotated or otherwise re-arranged for better readability or visibility
