WITHOUT A PARALLEL
IN MEDICAL HISTORY.
The remarkable results which have attended the administration
of Compound Oxygen, the new remedy for chronic and so-called
“incurable diseases,” _are without a parallel in medical history_.
As dispensers of this new remedy, we have, after over twelve years
of earnest, untiring and costly effort to introduce it to those who
need its vitalizing and health-restoring influences, succeeded in
resting its claims on the basis of facts and results of so wide and
universal a character—_facts and results on record and open to the
closest investigations_—that no room for a question remains as to
its _marvelous action in restoring the diseased to health_.
The rapidly-increasing number of those who have obtained relief
from pain or been restored to health by Compound Oxygen, reaching
now to many thousands, scattered throughout the whole country, is
having a wide influence on public sentiment. There are no arguments
so convincing as well-known facts. If a man or a woman who has been
suffering for years from an exhausting disease, which no physician
had been able to cure, tries a newly-discovered remedy and is
brought back to health, the fact stands as an unanswerable argument
in favor of that remedy, so far, at least, as this particular case
is concerned. A resort to the same remedy in another case, regarded
as incurable, and with a like result, adds a new and stronger
argument in its favor. Accumulate similar results to the number
of hundreds and thousands, and in the widest range of chronic and
“desperate” diseases and abandoned cases, and you have a weight
of evidence that is irresistible. On this weight of indisputable
evidence we rest the claims of Compound Oxygen.
It is frequently urged against this treatment by persons who have
not made themselves acquainted with the natural laws governing its
action, that the same agent is administered for all diseases—for
neuralgia or catarrh; for rheumatism or consumption; for heart
disease or bronchitis; that we offer it as a universal specific. In
our _Treatise on Compound Oxygen_, which will be _mailed free_ to
any one who will write to us for it, we have fully explained the
nature and action of this remedy, and shown that it is not specific
to any disease or class of diseases; but that it acts directly upon
the nervous system and vital organs, and thence universally in
the whole body. It gives new force and a more vigorous action to
all the life-centres, thus restoring to nature the dominant power
and healthy action which had been lost. This being the case, no
matter what the disease, or where located, it must be gradually
ameliorated, and, if the central healthy action can be maintained,
finally cured. Every intelligent and unprejudiced person will at
once see that if the law of action which we claim for Compound
Oxygen be the true one, its operation must be universal, and not
local or specific; and that all forms of disease may be reached
by this agent. And the fact that they are reached, and in so
large a number of cases relieved, verifies the theory of cure and
substantiates the claims which are made for this new substance as
_being the most remarkable in its action of any therapeutic agent
yet discovered_.
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.
To those who wish to inform themselves in regard to this new
Treatment, we will send, _free of cost_, our “_Treatise on Compound
Oxygen_,” and our pamphlet, containing over fifty “_Unsolicited
Testimonials_;” also “_Health and Life_,” our Quarterly Record of
Cases and Cures, under the Compound Oxygen Treatment, in which
will be found, as reported by patients themselves, _and open for
verification, more remarkable results in a single period of three
months than all the medical journals in the United States can show
in a year_!

ON THE DESERT.
With a Brief Review of Recent Events in Egypt. By Rev. HENRY
M. FIELD, D.D., author of “From the Lakes of Killarney to the
Golden Horn,” and “From Egypt to Japan.” 1 vol. crown 8vo, with
a map, $2.
_From Rev. William M. Taylor, D.D._
I was so interested in its perusal that it was with difficulty that
I could persuade myself to lay it down. I find it more interesting
than a novel, and full, besides, of valuable information, sound
reflection and clear thinking. The descriptions enable one to see
for himself the objects on which the writer looked. Nor must I
forget to add that every now and then a delightful humor bubbles
up in these pages, which adds immensely to the charm of a very
charming book.
NEWMAN SMYTH’S REPLY TO JOSEPH COOK.
DORNER ON THE FUTURE STATE.
Being a Translation of the Section of his System of Christian
Doctrine, comprising the Doctrine of the Last Things. With an
introduction and notes. By NEWMAN SMYTH, D.D., author of “Old
Faiths in New Light,” “The Orthodox Theology of To-day,” etc. 1
vol. 12mo, $1.
“The present book contains most of the distinctive views by which
Dorner is best known. It is an attempt in plain words to bring
the doctrine of Christian eschatology into harmony with the best
knowledge and the best thought of the age.”
RECOLLECTIONS OF ARTHUR PENRHYN STANLEY, late Dean of Westminster.
By GEORGE GRANVILLE BRADLEY, D.D., Dean of Westminster,
Honorary Fellow of University College, Oxford. 1 vol. 12mo, $1.
“It is an affectionate and graceful biographical memorial of a man
whose scholarship and intellectual force were partly concealed
by the fineness of his nature, the sweetness and delicacy of his
spirit and modest beauty of his bearing. The story of his life has
been fittingly told, and will be gratefully read by his numerous
American admirers.”—_Christian at Work._
MORAVIAN MISSIONS.
By Rev. A. C. THOMPSON, D.D. 1 vol. 12mo, $2.
“One striking peculiarity of these lectures is that they condense
into the smallest compass a vast amount of intricate matters and
widely scattered particulars, gathered from sources out of the way
of ordinary students and unknown to ordinary readers, and present
this great variety of facts of geography, history, ethnology and
biography in such a way that there is not only no confusion or
heaviness, but a certain brightness and vivacity which makes the
narrative fairly fascinating.”
CRITERIA OF DIVERSE KINDS OF TRUTH.
As opposed to Agnosticism. Being a Treatise on Applied Logic.
(Philosophic Series No. 1.) Energy, Efficient and Final Cause.
(Philosophic Series No. 2.) By JAMES MCCOSH, D.D. LL.D.,
D.L. Author of “Intuitions of the Mind,” “Laws of Discursive
Thought,” etc. Each 1 vol., paper, 50 cents.
“It is not unlikely to prove true in the end that the most useful
popular service which Dr. McCosh has rendered to the cause of
right thinking and to a sound philosophy of life is his proposed
_Philosophic Series_, the first number of which, _Criteria of
Diverse Kinds of Truth as Opposed to Agnosticism_, we have perused
with great satisfaction.”—_The Independent._
FINAL CAUSES.
By PAUL JANET, Member of the French Academy. Translated from
the Second French Edition. With a Preface by Robert Flint,
D.D., LL.D. 1 vol. 8vo, $2.50.
“No book of greater importance in the realm of theological
philosophy has appeared during the past twenty years than Paul
Janet’s ‘Final Causes.’ The central idea of the work is one which
the whole course of scientific discussion has made the burning
question of the day, viz.: that final causes are not inconsistent
with physical causation.”—_Independent._
THE BEGINNINGS OF HISTORY,
According to the Bible and the Traditions of Oriental Peoples.
From the Creation of Man to the Deluge. By FRANÇOIS LENORMANT,
Professor of Archæology at the National Library of France,
etc., etc. (Translated from the Second French Edition.) With an
introduction by FRANCIS BROWN, Assistant Professor in Biblical
Philology, Union Theological Seminary. 1 vol. 12mo, 750 pp.,
$2.50.
“The work is one that deserves to be studied by all students of
ancient history, and in particular by ministers of the gospel,
whose office requires them to interpret the Scriptures, and who
ought not to be ignorant of the latest and most interesting
contribution of science to the elucidation to the sacred
volume.”—_New York Tribune._
THE RELIGIONS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD,
Including Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, Persia, India,
Phœnicia, Etruria, Greece, Rome. By GEORGE RAWLINSON, M.A.,
author of “The Origin of Nations,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
“The historical studies which have elevated this author’s works
to the highest position have made him familiar with those beliefs
which once directed the world’s thought; and he has done literature
no better service than in this little volume.... The book is, then,
to be accepted as a sketch, and as the most trustworthy sketch
in our language, of the religions discussed.”—_N.Y. Christian
Advocate._
SCIENCE AND SENTIMENT.
Essays, chiefly Philosophical. By NOAH PORTER, D.D., LL.D. 1
vol., crown 8vo., $2.50
“President Porter is at his best in some of these papers. An
incisive wit runs through them, and all are marked by that power of
clear definition and of vigorous statement coupled with fairness
and frankness in treating the arguments of opponents so apparent in
all his writings.”—_Zion’s Herald._
LOGIC AND LIFE.
With other Sermons. By Rev. H. S. HOLLAND, M.A., Senior Student
of Christ Church, Oxford. With an Introductory Notice by
PRESIDENT NOAH PORTER. 1 vol. 8vo, $1.50.
“They are in the truest sense scholarly ... yet there is about
them, as Dr. Porter expresses it, very little of the stiffness, the
formality or the remoteness from human sympathies and associations
which often, not to say usually, characterize ‘University Sermons.’
Ministers will find them a rare and valuable addition to the
library.”—_The Examiner._
TURKISH LIFE IN WAR TIME.
By HENRY O. DWIGHT. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
“This book is the most vivid and faithful sketch of Turkish
character that we have ever seen.... It is mainly a series of
interesting notes and sketches, giving those little details of life
and thought from day to day, in a time of great excitement, which
are so essential in order to gain an accurate knowledge of any
people.”—_The Nation._

Transcriber’s Notes
Obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions silently
corrected. Inconsistent hyphenation retained due to the
multiplicity of authors. Arithmetic errors in the receipts have
been retained as printed.
Images have been moved outside of paragraphs, resulting in page
numbers that are slightly off.
Missing “t” added in “therefore” on page 106 (therefore an
immediately pressing necessity).
Removed extra “s” introduced in line-break hyphenation on page 107
(no doubt that their presence).
Changed “Fragance” to “Fragrance” on page 125 (Beauty and Fragrance).
Inserted missing “n” in “governing” on inside back cover (natural
laws governing its action).
Duplicate “them” removed from the inside back cover (restoring
them to a healthier action).
