m 
generally debility and perhaps some weakness 
of the lungs? We feel conscious of the latter 
because we take cold so easily, and any cough 
we may get seems to stick so closely to us, and 
we feel an occasional soreness in the chest. 
The former does not apply to any specific ail¬ 
ment, for we cannot localize our trouble so as 
to give it a definite name; yet we feel such a 
general good-for-nothingless, that we call it 
by the generic name of “general debility.” 
If we are feminine, we feel that this term 
embraces our misery, and there are so many 
like ourself we are easily understood. But 
what would we not give to find relief? A 
patient living in Boston Highlands, Mass., in 
a letter of November 6, 1885, says: 
“After having used the Compound Oxygen 
since last March, it is only just to you to send 
some word to attest its value. I hardly know 
what I should have done without it. I com¬ 
menced taking it for general debility , caused 
by female weakness, and also for my lungs 
which are not very strong. Last winter I was 
very susceptible to colds, which almost invar¬ 
iably settled upon my lungs, and although 
under a physician’s care at the time, and swal¬ 
lowing a great deal of medicine, I had such 
slow progress that I decided upon taking the 
Compound Oxygen. It has been of untold 
value , my lungs are stronger. I do not take 
cold as easily, and all signs of a cough which 
I had on commencing it very soon disappear¬ 
ed. I feel stronger in every way.” 
Write to Drs. Starkey & Palen 1529 Arch 
Street, Philadelphia, Pa., and they will mail 
you, free, an interesting treatise on Compound 
Oxygen—its mode of action and results.— Adv.
