The New York Mornina Journal savs
that Mrs. F. G. Kellogg, 50 East Eighty-
sixth street, was partially paralyzed, and
lay for seven days in convulsions. Physi
cians were engaged ana discharged until
seven had failed to help or cure her. She
was unable to leave her bed, and was as
helpless as a child. After using all sorts
of salves, ointments, lotions and plasters,
her case was given up as hopless. She was
induced to try St. Jacobs Oil as a last
chance. She began to improve from the
time the first application was made, and
by its continued use, she has completely
recovered.

JUDGE KELLEYS VIEWS.
The Hon. William D. Kelley. of Phila
delphia, has long been known for his fear
less advocacy of the right, and his uncom
promising opposition to the wrong. Since
1860 he has been a member of the House
of Representatives of the United States.
He has always been known as a man of
positive counsels; a powerful speaker; an
earnest debater; an able thinker, and an
unwearying worker.
judge .Kelley has been so long and so
prominently before the American people,
that his sentiments on anv important sub
ject are valued, even by those who do not
agree politically with him. He is emphat
ically a man or the people. .Elevated to
the Judgeship many years ago, he proved
to be a man of such unswerving integrity,
such earnestness of purpose, and such
depth of conscientious conviction, that he
was for a long term of years retained on
the judicial bench; and on his desiring to
retire to the comparative seclusion of an
extensive law practice, was told by the
people that he must serve them in Con
gress. For twenty-three consecutive years
his Congressional service has been ren
dered with singular fidelity and purity.
ins utterances are well known to come
from his inmost heart, and his opinions
to be the result of the most mature delib
eration. The judgment of such a man
carries with it immense weight, and his
views, whether on public anairs or private
Interests, are entitled to the respect and
esteem of all thoughtful persons.
Judge Kelley's power of resistance to
obstacles which would have put an ordi
nary man in his grave, has long been the
subject of comment, not only among his
friends, but the public generally. Such
was his physical condition ten years ago
that it was feared the next Congressional
session would be his last.
For many years the Judge has been af
flicted with the most obstinate catarrh,
which defied all the old-fashioned reme
dies, and which would have entirely laid
on the shelf a less indomnitable man than
himself. His life became almost a burden
to him, and he was nearly at death's door.
To-day although at an age when most
men begin to show signs of wearing out,
he is hearty and vigorous, and as ready
and as able to perform his arduous Con
gressional duties as he was twenty years
ago.
An account of Judge Kelley's remark
able case, as given by himself, will be of
interest to all who are suffering with
catarrh, and who are wondering what
they shall do to get rid of this horrible
disease. One of our editors recently spent
a morning with Judge Kelley at that gen
tleman's home, in West Philadelphia. To
him the Judge communicated the history
of his illness and recovery, substantially
as follows:
"I had, as a hereditary victim to catarrh,
suffered for years. I was subject to vio
lent paroxysms of coughing. Straining for
relief had produced abrasion of the mem
bane and daily effusion of blood from my
throat. For four years I passed a portion
of each Congressional vacation in the
Rocky Mountains or on the Pacific Coast.
While there I found relief, but on my return
to tine-water, the disease appeared with
apparently renewed vigor. My breathing
power diminished, so that in the early
summer of 1873 it was little more than a
oantiner for breath. About two years be
fore this my attention had been called to
Compound Oxygen Gas at then adminis
tered by Dr. Starkey. A friend who had
great faith in its efficacy advised me to try
it. On reading Dr. Starkey's advertise
ment I threw the little book aside, and de
clined to resort to the treatment, on the
ground that it was a quack medicine
which proposed to cure everything, and
was consequently without adaptation to
any particular disease. I grew worse and
in the summer my breathing was so short
that a cough, a sneeze or a sigh produced
such acute pain at the base of the left
lung, that I felt it necessary to close up
my affairs, as I did not believe I could last
for sixty days. Nor do i now believe l
would have lasted for that time had I not
found a potent curative agent. .
"I had lost none of my prejudice against
the gas, as a medicine, but in very desper
ation, seeing that it could not make me
any worse than I was, and as medical
treatment had utterly failed to meet my
case, I concluded to try it. After a thor
ough examination, Dr. Starkey, to whom
I was then a stranger, said: 'Sir, I have
no medicine for either form of your dis
ease (alluding to the catarrh and bleeding
of the tnroat), out, u you win give me
tiniA T will rvnre von.' Mv resnonse was
a natural one. 'You are frank in saying
you have no medicine for either form of
my disease, and yet you propose to cure
me. By what agency will you work this
miracle?' 'The Oxygen Gas,' said he, 'is
not a medicine. It has none of the char
acteristics of medicine compounded of
drugs. These create a requirement for
continual increase of Quantity to be taken;
and, if long persisted in, produce some
form of disease. But the gas produces no
appetite for itself. It passes, by inhala
tion, into the blood, and purifies and in
vigorates it. Ihe system is tnus enabled to
throw off effete matter. You will find by
experience, if you try the treatment, that
it will not increase the rapidity of the ac
tion of your pulse, though the beating
thereof will be stronger under its influ
ence.'
"This explanation removed my objec
tions, and I could see how such an agent
could operate beneficially in cases of
widely different symptoms and character.
"Dr. Starkey said that the cells of mv
left lung were congested with catarrhal
mucus, and that he believed the gas would
at once address itself to the removal of de-
Eosits, and the restoration of my full
reathing power.
"I entered on the use of the treatment,
and at the end of three weeks, with an
improved appetite, with the ability to
sleep several consecutive hours, with a
measureable relief of the pain in the lung,
and with Dr. Starkey's consent I made the
tour of the lakes from Erie to Duluth. in
company with my venerable friend, Henry
C. Carey. Returning, we visited friends
in St. Paul, Chicago and Pittsburgh.
"Notwithstanding the intense heat. I re
mained in Philadelphia during the sum
mer, and inhaled the gas daily with the
happiest effect. Before Congress assem
bled in December, my lung had been re
lieved of much of its nauseous deposit,
and I was able to breathe without pain.
"Without detaining you with detail. I
may say that in the progress of my recovery
I had occasional hemorrhages, which al
ways preceded a palpable step in the pro
gress of recovery; so that I came to regard
these unwelcome visitors as a part of the
remedial action of nature, assisted by
Compound Oxygen Gas.
"I am now more than ten years older
than I was when 1 first tested the treat
ment. I have had no perceptible effusion
of blood for more than six years. I breathe
as deeply as 1 did at any period of my
young manhood, and my natural carriage
is so erect as to elicit frequent comment.
"I have regarded my case as a very ex
traordinary one, and yet I have had under
observation one which I regard as more
remarkable than my own. That of a young
lady, who had been paralyzed by fright or
contusion when her horses ran away and
her carriage was destroyed; and to whose
father Dr. Starkey, after examining the
case, said she was beyond the reach of
human agency. I know her now as a
happy wife and mother, restored to most
excellent health.
"You may judge of my restoration to
health by the contrast between the results
of some of my recent Congressional de
bates, compared with what they were in
1874. In that year when I spoke in the
House in favor of the grant by the Gov
ernment to the Centennial Exhibition, I
was so prostrated by the exertion that my
dear friend, the late Col. John W. Forney,
left the gallery in which he had been sit
ting, in order to come to the door of the
hall to assist in relieving me when I
should fall. I found, on quitting the floor,
that there had been a general fear that in
my zeal I was passing beyond the bounds
of prudence.
But on the 5th of May, 1882, when sub
mitting an argument in favor of Tariff
Commission I held the floor for nearly
three hours; though parts of the debate
might be characterized as a wrangle be
tween myself and others; and as I did not
obtain the floor until the afternoon, I sur
rendered it, because the close of the day
had come, when members' appetites told
them that dinner was on the table. The
evening was pasted in my rooms, with a
high degree of sociability, in which a
number of young ladies and gentlemen
from my district, who happened to have
been in the House during my speech, participated.
"On a recent occasion I addressed o.OOO
people in the Philadelphia Academy of
Music, without feeling any exhaustion. I
have a hearty appetite, and am able to
take abundant exercise. I sleep well and
have a far better color in my cheeks than I
had ten years ago.
"l ou ask it l still continue tne treat
ment. Whenever I am in Philadelphia,
and feel a fresh cold, or suffer from the
nervous exhaustion which follows excess
ive labor, I go to the office of Drs. Starkev
& Palen, and resort to the treatment, and
am never without the 'home treatment'
in Washington.. I have the highest confi
dence not only in the treatment itself, but
in Drs. Starkey & Palen as gentleman of
skill, integrity and good judgment."

A PROSPEROUS BANK.
THE PACIFIC BANK, corner of Pine
and Sansome Streets, San Francisco, Cal.,
before any other commercial bank in the
city, deserves this title. Founded in 1863, it
has held on the even tenor of its way, under
the conservative business head which has
guided it by safe, legitimate and enterpris
ing methods to a uniformly increasing suc
cess. This past year has been the most
prosperous of its prosperous existence, and
has placed the bank still more to the fore
amongst the best of the city. Its manage
ment and stockholders are to be congratu
lated on its success, and the business com
munity on the existence of a bank combin
ing ample resources, the best business ad
vantages and absolute security.
