A lady in Carmel, N. Y., after using the Oxygen Treatment for about four weeks, writes as follows in regard to the result: “Four years ago I had an attack of Acute Bronchitis. It was two or three months before I got over it, and then I had lost my voice. I could not sing. The next winter I had two attacks, and in the spring I had chronic inflammation of the throat. I was treated for it from March till June. Then my husband took me to Brooklyn for medical treatment. I got very much better; but as soon as the weather became cold I took cold, and had to stay in the house for most of the time with an inflamed throat. When I sent for the Oxygen I had just had the worst attack from which I had ever suffered. I feared that I was going to lose my voice entirely, it hurt me so to talk. Last year, every time I had a cold it left me with a pain in the lower part of my left lung. This summer the doctor sounded my lung, and said all the trouble was in the larger air passage. “The first time I inhaled the Oxygen that pain left me in half an hour, and I have not felt it since. For two days my lung felt real good; then the inhaling made it feel sore, and every time I coughed it seemed to come from that place where the pain had been, and what I passed had a very bad taste, but did not look bad. “I have taken a great many different things, but never in my life took anything like the Oxygen. I feel so strong and well, and have such a good, healthy appetite.”
