"Wonderful, Wonderful Medicine 
So exclaims a patient, Rev. J. S. Fesper- 
man, of Statesville, North Carolina. Writ ing 
June 2d, 1880, he says: “In the providence 
of God I owe my present state of health to 
your Oxygen. I was near the gate of the 
grave, and, as I believe, close to the great 
portals of eternal life, when I commenced 
taking what I now consider the greatest of all 
healing agents, Compound Oxygen. I can¬ 
not refrain from saying, 4 Wonderful, won 
cUrful, wonderful medicine!' Physician and 
friends had belie veil that I could not live any 
length of timo, and 1 am here yet, with my 
large family of children, and able to walk 
three to four miles every morning, I cannot 
speak in terms too high of your remedy.”
