The rapidly-increasing number of those who have obtained relief
from pain or been restored to health by Compound Oxygen, reaching
now to many thousands, scattered throughout the whole country, is
having a wide influence on public sentiment. There are no arguments
so convincing as well-known facts. If a man or a woman who has been
suffering for years from an exhausting disease, which no physician
had been able to cure, tries a newly-discovered remedy and is
brought back to health, the fact stands as an unanswerable argument
in favor of that remedy, so far, at least, as this particular case
is concerned. A resort to the same remedy in another case, regarded
as incurable, and with a like result, adds a new and stronger
argument in its favor. Accumulate similar results to the number
of hundreds and thousands, and in the widest range of chronic and
“desperate” diseases and abandoned cases, and you have a weight
of evidence that is irresistible. On this weight of indisputable
evidence we rest the claims of Compound Oxygen.
It is frequently urged against this treatment by persons who have
not made themselves acquainted with the natural laws governing its
action, that the same agent is administered for all diseases—for
neuralgia or catarrh; for rheumatism or consumption; for heart
disease or bronchitis; that we offer it as a universal specific. In
our _Treatise on Compound Oxygen_, which will be _mailed free_ to
any one who will write to us for it, we have fully explained the
nature and action of this remedy, and shown that it is not specific
to any disease or class of diseases; but that it acts directly upon
the nervous system and vital organs, and thence universally in
the whole body. It gives new force and a more vigorous action to
all the life-centres, thus restoring to nature the dominant power
and healthy action which had been lost. This being the case, no
matter what the disease, or where located, it must be gradually
ameliorated, and, if the central healthy action can be maintained,
finally cured. Every intelligent and unprejudiced person will at
once see that if the law of action which we claim for Compound
Oxygen be the true one, its operation must be universal, and not
local or specific; and that all forms of disease may be reached
by this agent. And the fact that they are reached, and in so
large a number of cases relieved, verifies the theory of cure and
substantiates the claims which are made for this new substance as
_being the most remarkable in its action of any therapeutic agent
yet discovered_.
