EXCEPTIONAL The following details of a case is one of the excentionalcases which we meet vith in our dispensation of Compound Oxygen, and one that illustrates in a very striking manner the subtle and deeply-searching and active power of. this new agent: "St. Cloud, Wis., January itun, issz. "Drs. Starkey & Paj.en: Dear Sirs I believe it to be a duty I owe to sufferers from blood and skin diseases to make a brief statement of my case. About ten years ago I had several lanamed dark spots come on both of my ankles. These spots, when they first appeared, were of a dark copper color, and much inflamed and rigid. They gradually grew larger and more troublesome, witn always a sensa tion of numbness, and sometimes parox- . . it T" 1 J ysms of most mtoieraoie ucning. j. naa for several years previous to the appear ance of these spots on my ankles been troubled with inflammatory rheumatism. My joints would be sometimes badly swollen and inflamed. I had much trou ble and pain with my left ankle for the three or four months before commencing to use Compound Oxygen. The whole of the outside of my left foot and ankle re sembled in appearance and color a large piece of liver. It teas much swollen and as rigid as an iceoerg, u tin nine or icn very painful dry sores. The central one was about one inch in diameter, and most excruciatingly painful. I showed it to sev- t 1 .-..r.....'. J4. rt erai Knowing uncs, v nu in uiiu uutcu iv a cancer. The effects of the Compound Ox ygen were trulv wonderful. It worked like a charm. In a few days after com mencing its use, my feet began to bleach out: the lumps all dissolved; the skin and flesh of my feet soon became soft a ndivhite; ine sores Decame less pamiui axiu soon ue gan to heal. The sores are now all well, and mv feet and ankles are as good tts new. In fact, I have got a new pair of legs: for all of which I am .'indebted to Compound uxygen. "Respectfully yours, ll. sparks. The effect of Compound Oxygen in this case gives a striking proof of the law gov erning its action, it had no specific rela tion to the disease from which the patient was suffering, and did not act directly up on the affected parts, but, instead, infused new vigor into all the nervous centers. quickened all the life-forces, and restored to healthier activity every organic form in the body, and the result came as a natural and orderly sequence.
