“I am able to do my own work, and it is so easy that I find it a
real pleasure. _Appetite is splendid. Sleep seven or eight hours
soundly; no night sweats, no distressing sick headaches, as I
used to have. My friends had all given up that I was going with
Consumption as fast as I could, but instead, I am looking better
than for years_, and I think it is through God’s mercy and His
blessing and your Oxygen that has brought me health and happiness.”
“A Wonder to all my Friends.”
A lady at Sandy Creek, N.Y., wrote us in April last, giving a
statement of her case. She had been a sufferer for many years,
especially from _Neuralgia_.
We had but one report of the case, and that a brief one, until
October 20, 1882, when the following was received. It will be seen
that the treatment has been doing a good work, and that the lady,
to use her own words, is “a wonder to all her friends.”
“Last April I procured a Home Treatment from you and have written
you once since then. I have been greatly benefited by the use of
the Oxygen. When I wrote you a description of my case you expressed
the opinion that with freedom from care and work I might be cured
by taking the Treatment. I have never worked so hard or steadily
as through the past summer, _and have not felt so well, so much
alive for years_, and all this from the use _of only about half
a Treatment_. I have been so very busy that I have not taken the
Oxygen regularly at all; neither have I reported to you but once
before, so I could blame no one but myself if I were not benefited.
I have not felt quite as well for the past two weeks, but am
going to be more faithful in the use of the Oxygen, and I hope to
improve. _I am a wonder to all my friends_, but I give the credit
where it is due—to the use of the Oxygen.”
Strong Testimony from a Physician.
A physician in Troy, Tenn., whose wife was in the early stages of
Consumption, wrote to us in May last, ordering a Treatment. In a
second letter, received some weeks after the Compound Oxygen was
received, he says:
“She coughs some. Has no night sweats. Had some chills lately;
short breath; pain in left lung under breast; some hemorrhage
recently; appetite and sleep moderate; losing flesh since using
Compound Oxygen; is some better in all respects; coughs up some
blood and pure pus; breathes better than before using Compound
Oxygen.”
We did not hear again from the case until Sept. 22, 1882, when a
letter came, in which the writer states that he had been waiting
to see if the good work begun by our Treatment was going to be
permanent. His report, which we give below, is highly satisfactory:
“You will no doubt think that I have been very negligent in writing
you in regard to my wife’s case. Please receive my apology. _I
was just waiting to see if what your Treatment was doing would be
permanent._ I have so much to say that I hardly know where to begin.
