For some years past there has been a growing demand for something more satisfac- 

 tory and more practical in the way of literature on the subject of what has, by commom 

 consent, come to be termed " Oxygen Therapeutics." On all sides professional men of 

 standing and ability are turning their attention to the use of the gaseous elements about 

 us as remedies in disease, as well as sustainers in health. In prosecuting their inquiries, 

 the first hindrance has been the want of any reliable, or in' any degree satisfactory, 

 literature on the subject. 



Purged of the much quackery heretofore associated with it, Aerotherapy is now 

 recognized as a legitimate department of medical practice. Although little noise is made 

 about it, the use of Oxygen Gas as a remedy has increased in this country within a few 

 years to such an extent mat in New York City alone the consumption for medical pur- 

 poses now amounts to more than 300.000 gallons per annum. 



This work, translated in the main from the French of Professor Demarquay, contains 

 also a very full account of recent English, German, and American experiences, prepared 

 by Dr. Samuel S. Wallian, of New York, whose experience in this field antedates that of 

 any other American writer on the subject.

This is a little volume designed to convey information upon one of the most important subjects con- 

 nected with our physical and spiritual well-being, and is adapted to both sexes and all ages and conditions 

 of society ; in fact, so broad is its scope that no human being can well afford to be without it, and so com- 

 prehensive in its teachings that, no matter how well informed one may be, something can yet be learned from 

 this, and yet it is so plain that any one who can read at all can fully understand its meaning. 



The Author, Dr. H. N. Guernsey, has had an unusually long and extensive practice, and his teachings in 

 this volume are the results of his observation and actual experience with all conditions of human life. 



His work is warmly indorsed by many leading men in all branches of professional life, as well as by 

 many whose business connections have caused them to be close observers. 



The following Table of Contents shows the scope of the book: 



CONTENTS. CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY. II. THE INFANT. III. CHILDHOOD. IV. ADOLES- 

 CENCE OF THE MALE. V. ADOLESCENCE OF THE FEMALE. VI. MARRIAGE: THE HUSBAND. VII.
