Chapter CC: W. ANDERSON, General Agent, (3)

“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.

“I gave you the symptoms when I made the order. _For the first three weeks my wife did not improve any. After that time she improved slowly but steadily. She is now like a new person. She is gaining all the time. Her breathing is better than for two years, and she is gaining strength and flesh._

“When she began your Compound Oxygen _she could not walk fifty yards without great exhaustion_. She can now _walk half a mile with but little fatigue_. Her lungs pain her but little. She sleeps well at night; appetite good; has not _had any hemorrhage since last of July_, and then light; and, to cut the matter short, _she said this morning that she began to feel like herself again_.

“_You are at liberty to refer to me or my wife any one similarly affected._”

Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen _is sent free of charge_. It contains a history of the discovery, nature and action of this new remedy, and a record of many of the remarkable results which have so far attended its use.

Transcriber’s Notes:

Obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions silently corrected. Period spellings and author’s grammar have been retained. Inconsistent hyphenation retained due to the multiplicity of authors. The following printer’s errors were corrected.

Changed “intoxcating” to “intoxicating” on page 142 (was found to be giving intoxicating drink).

An unclosed quote on page 147 is left unclosed, as it is uncertain where the close quote should be (“the W. C. T. U. has induced).

Changed “discusssion” to “discussion” on page 148 (for free discussion).

Changed “Fragance” to “Fragrance” on page 157 (Beauty and Fragrance).
