If we contrast the violence which is so often done to the delicate organisms of the human body through the administration of drugs, given to break the force of a disease, and which sometimes keep the patient lingering for months in slow convalescence, needing all the while the physician’s care, with the revitalized condition of compound oxygen patients, the advantage on the side of the latter, as compared with those treated under most of the prevailing systems, becomes strikingly apparent. Under the new treatment, which is by inhalation, there is no weakening of the tone of the stomach by drugs, and no violent assaults upon any nerve or fibre in the body, _but a gentle and subtly penetrating influence, reaching to the very centre of all the life forces, and restoring them to a healthier action_. The natural result under this treatment must be that, when a patient recovers he is in a far better condition to resist the causes which produce disease than the patient who has had the life forces weakened through drug medication.
_As a restorer of vital force_, it can be largely shown from the results obtained during the past twelve years, that _Compound Oxygen is the most efficient agent yet discovered by the medical profession. Its use by over-worked business and professional men, and by all who suffer from nervous exhaustion and low vitality, would save many hundreds of lives every year and give to thousands more the ability to work without the weariness, exhaustion and peril which now attend their labors._
Our large correspondence with patients and health-seekers, throughout this and other countries, gives evidence of the increasing confidence which is steadily growing in the public mind favorable to the Oxygen cure. The living witnesses to its remarkable efficacy, and the warm advocates of its dispensation are, as we have said, rapidly increasing. By personal influence and correspondence, those who have been relieved from distressing complaints, or cured of diseases which were steadily growing worse for years, are sending the good news of their recovery to friends and neighbors, near and remote. Many of these order the Treatment, and if helped or cured, as rarely fails to be the case, become in turn the friends and advocates of this new method of cure. So the knowledge is spreading, and the use of Compound Oxygen growing, with a rapidity of which few outside of our establishment have any comprehension.
