SEEDS
FOR
POST GARDENS.
Profitable Gardening depends first of all upon procuring SEEDS of
VITALITY and PURITY. Such can be had from OUR ESTABLISHMENT. We ever
have been the oldest and most extensive
SEED GROWERS AND SEED MERCHANTS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
We cordially invite all interested to visit and critically inspect our
SEED FARMS, feeling confident that the areas, varied soils and climates,
systems of cultivation, drying houses, steam machinery, implements and
appurtenances generally, will demonstrate our ability to produce larger,
more varied, and better stock than any other party in the Seed Trade. We
have always been by far
The Largest Producers of Garden Seeds in America.
Our farms do not exist upon paper, but can be found by any inquirer; and
in the selection of stocks and systems of culture we have as a firm the
advantages of very NEARLY A CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE. Our farms are
situated at
_BRISTOL, Bucks Co., Pa._
_MANITOWOC, Manitowoc Co., Wis._
_BURLINGTON, Burlington Co., N. J._
_MONASKON, Lancaster Co., Va._
The whole comprising a total of _1574 Acres_, owned, occupied, and
cultivated by ourselves. Upon these lands we have applied in a single
season $20,000 worth of purchased fertilizers, a fact which exhibits the
magnitude of our operations.
THE STOCK SEEDS
from which all our crops are grown on all the farms are produced on
Bloomsdale, the Pennsylvania farm, and under the daily scrutiny of the
proprietors, are thoroughly culled of all departures from the true
types, and produce crops of such purity of strain as to warrant us in
declaring that _none are Superior and few Equal_!
Commanders of Government Posts who favor us with their orders can rely
upon being supplied upon most liberal terms.

COMPOUND OXYGEN.
_For the Cure of Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Dyspepsia,
Headache, Ozœna, Debility, and all Chronic and Nervous Disorders, by a
Natural Process of Revitalization._
A REMARKABLE RESULT.
We are constantly meeting with new and singular results from the
administration of Compound Oxygen. Witness the following, in the sudden
penetration of the air into a collapsed lung. A gentleman in
Pleasantville, Iowa, writing under date of October 10, 1880, says:
“My daughter had not been confined to her bed, but for the past twelve
years had not been able to inhale much air in her left lung, in
consequence of congestion, owing to overheating. She was unable to stand
heat, and she was liable to sinking and smothering spells; also her
heart would not beat regularly; every hour or two it would stop its
pulsations, or feel as if it was going to. On the second inhalation her
_lung expanded to its fullest capacity_, which, of course, caused great
distress of body (as the chest had sunk in over her lung), but ever
since she has had no symptoms of smothering. _The heart pulsations are
regular, and she feels like a new person; is gaining rapidly in flesh._
Her lung is not yet strong, but is gaining. _We are truly grateful to
you for rescuing her from an untimely grave._”
“AM SO MUCH BETTER.”
Extract from letter of a patient in Biddeford, Me.:
“It is with pleasure I tell you what your Compound Oxygen Treatment has
done for me. Last April, when I commenced using it, _I was very low_;
suffered from a weak, tired feeling all the time. _Had not been able to
do any housework or sewing for four years, and but very little for ten
years past._ My right side was very bad, a continual smarting ache
extending from the throat to the hip, aggravated by using my arm. _Had
not been free from a cough for four years. Now I do most of my
housework; all my family sewing; walk out every pleasant day; think I
could walk a mile and not be very tired; am so much happier to feel that
I am some use in the world._ For all this consider myself indebted to
your Compound Oxygen Treatment.”
FORCED CHEERFULNESS.
A patient writes:
“I used to seem cheerful, and people often remarked it; but my husband
would look sad, and tell me he feared I did not feel it; which was true.
(I did it to keep up his spirits.) But now it does me good to take a
hearty laugh. Every one I meet says, ‘How well you are looking.’ I tell
them it is the Compound Oxygen rebuilding me.... _I can scarcely believe
myself to be the same miserable little woman I once was._”
“VICTORY!”
Under this caption, a gentleman in Iowa, who had procured the Compound
Oxygen Treatment for his wife, writes:
“_I am surprised at finding her so much improved in health._ When she
began using the Oxygen she could not sit up more than four hours at a
time. Could not walk a quarter of a mile. Improved from the first
inhalation, and now, having used the Treatment for six weeks, does
considerable work around the house, and _can walk two miles and not be
tired_. Raises no more bloody matter. No cough. Sleeps and eats well.
All that I can say is, ‘Thank God, and Drs. Starkey & Palen.’”
BRONCHITIS.
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._”
ASTONISHED AT THE RESULT.
A lady writing from Louisiana, November 15, 1880, says:
“The reception of your interesting quarterly reminds me that I have been
very ungrateful to you, in not reporting progress for so long. I am not
yet entirely cured, but when I think of the miserable condition I was in
when, on the 7th of last February, I began the Oxygen Home Treatment, _I
am truly astonished at the result_. I am still thin in flesh, but I
believe I am still gaining ground. My health is better than in years
before, and I can eat anything I can get to eat. I have a small supply
of gas yet, which I use when I feel depressed. I will order another
Treatment before long, for I feel sure it will eventually effect a cure.
_I cannot say how thankful I am for having been induced to send to you
for the Oxygen._”
LETTER FROM AN OLD PATIENT.
We make an extract from a letter recently received from one of our
patients, which shows the permanent effects of the Oxygen Treatment:
“You will, no doubt, remember me as one of your patients of more than a
year ago. I am not entirely cured, nor ever expect to be, as my business
is such that as long as I am able to be about I must go. I am manager of
a large grain and stock farm, and my business keeps me out of doors most
of the time, which is a decided benefit to me. _I have felt stronger
this year than ever before, and have done ten times as much work as ever
before._ I still have a part of the last Treatment, which I use once in
awhile when I am not feeling good, _and it immediately revives me_. Only
this morning I had a bad headache, and felt badly; _I took an inhalation
of the Oxygen and felt like another man_.”
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.
_Also sent free_, “_Health and Life_,” a quarterly record of cases and
cures under the Compound Oxygen Treatment.
