in regard to the administration of "Compound 
Oxygen,” the new remedy for chronic ailments, 
which Is attracting so much attention, we wish to 
say that we are physicians of long practice and 
experience, not venders of a patent medicine. Our 
business Is to cure diseases. There has come into 
our possession a knowledge of the way In which 
to combine oxygen and nitrogen, the two ele¬ 
ments which make up our common or atmos¬ 
pheric air, in such proportions as to render it 
much richer In the vital or llfe-gtvlng quality. 
It contains no medicament, unless the elements 
of pure air are medicines, and Its administration 
introduces nothing Into the body which the sys¬ 
tem does not welcome as a friend, accept with 
avidity, and appropriate as entirely homogeneous 
to Itself. You will find many Of these results re¬ 
corded in on r Treatise on "Compound Oxygen, 
which is sent free. Address T)rs. Starkey & I alen,
