Hope for Consumptives at Cast. 
From the ofliclal record, we learn that over sixty 
thousand persons die annually In the United 
States from pulmonary consumption. In each of 
these cases there wa3a first or Incipient stage of 
the disease, when all the life-forces and organic 
structures were not unimpaired by Its encroach¬ 
ments. If at Uils time an agent had been found 
which could give to the system a higher degree of 
vitality, and so enable It to resist the deadly as¬ 
sault tills perilous crisis would have been safely 
passed. And not this one only. Jn every subse¬ 
quent assault of the enemy, especially where there 
existed some hereditary taint, a prompt resort to 
the same re-vlt&tlztng agent would have given a 
like relief and immunity. Now it Is confidently 
claimed, and the claim Is substantiated by the re¬ 
sult of over twelve years'experience of Its use, 
that just such an agent has been discovered In 
Compound Oxygen, the use of wblcb Is rapidly ex¬ 
tending. If you wish to learn all about this new 
treatment, address Dus. Starkey & Pai.kn, Phila¬ 
delphia, Pa., and they will prompt ly mall you their
