INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM. 
AN ASTONISHING CURE. 
The following case gives another remarka¬ 
ble proof of the really wonder-working poten- 
cv of Compound Oxygen. The patient her¬ 
self could hardly have been more surprised 
than we were at the result which attended its 
use; for when we examined her case and un¬ 
derstood clearly her condition we did not be¬ 
lieve that we could do anything for her. and 
frankly told her so, 
“Philadelphia, June 10th, 1882. 
“Drs. Starkey & Palen. Dear Sira :— 
In April. 1881,1 consulted you in reference to 
your Treatment iu Inflammatory Rheuma¬ 
tism. Eighteen years ago I discovered rheu¬ 
matism in the ends of my fingers; from that 
it gradually spread all over my body, settling 
in my feet in 1870; and from that time to Jan¬ 
uary, 1880, I grew worse and worse, suffering 
nearly all the time interne shooting pains, 
prostrating me open for days, when the 
trouble settled in my left arm. 
“My arm lost all vitality, becom ing os cold 
as if encased in ice and hanging at my side a 
heavy weight. The muscles fell away to the 
bone, and my shoulder wasted till it became 
necessary to pad my dresses to wear them. In 
addition to this trouble my stomach was in a 
terrible condition, haring refused all kindB of 
food for months, and I was starring on a low 
diet under the advice of one of Philadelphia’s 
first physicians. After a careful examination 
of my case, your Dr. Starkey said to me: ‘/ 
don't thiyJr I ran do anything for you.'' I had 
heard and read of the Oxygen so long that I 
was anxious to try it if only to get a little re¬ 
lief; so on April 8th, 1881, I began the Office 
Treatment, coming ever}' day for a while and 
then three times a week. ’ The firat night after 
inhaling the Compound Oxygen 7 had the first 
night's rest in months. This greatly relieved 
and encouraged me. After using the Treat¬ 
ment a month I noticed a slightly changed 
feeling in my arm, but could not more any 
part of it » During the second month 1 could 
notice a decided improvement in my stomach 
and a lit tle motion of the fingers. I then had 
the misfortune to fall down a flight of stairs 
which threw me away back and injured my 
arm seriously. I resumed the Treatment as 
soon as I was able to come to the Office, and 
by August, notwithstanding the fall, I found, 
by the use of the other arm, 1 could move the 
lame one about an inch from (he body and 
could raise the shoulder slightly. In November 
I could lift my arm a little and the spots were 
not so painful. All this time my stomach was 
improving and my lung trouble less trouble¬ 
some. By Christmas I could cat almost every¬ 
thing placed before me; I had little or no nau¬ 
sea and seldom vomited. My arm bega n to fill 
out and the rheumatism, instead of being a 
permanent pain, was now scattering and only 
visited me occasionally, and I realized I was 
much less a barometer. I felt like a new being 
In February, 1882, 7 was using my arm at light 
work and was able to comb m y ha ir , a thing I 
had not done in a long lime , could button my 
dresses to the top and found it 'necessary to 
take out the padding. In April, one year 
from the time I began, my lungs had im¬ 
proved wonderfully, my stomach was well, 
and my rheumatism back into my fingers, 
where it started in 1864, eighteen years ago! 
Mrs. Margaretta E. Hair, 
1848 Filbert Street, Philadelphia. 
“P. S.—August 1st, 1882. Since the foregoing 
was written, the last ve»tiges of rheumatism 
which remained in my fingers have departed.

patch of same date from Camden, N. J., says: 
“Snow fell to a depth of four inches in the in¬ 
terior of Southern New Jersey last night, 
though it did not approach the coast or the

the crop is not eutirely destroyed,”.The

County, says the same is true of pears and

Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.; 
Siuce the introduction of your Improved 
Butter Color among my customers, it has 
given universal satisfaction. The leading 
dairymen of this section who have used it give 
it the preference over all other colors, of 
whatever name or nature. 
They are especially pleased with the fact 
that it does not become rancid, like other oil 
colors, and their product brings highest prices 
in market.—Ade. W. S. NAY, Druggist.
