At a reoent social gathering a presumptuous young girl determined to discover the com- position of a certain handsome woman’s complexion. During a pause in the dance she approached the lady, and moistening the tip of her handkerchief rubbed it rudely down one of the rosy cheeks, ex- claiming : ‘Pardon, madame, but a speck had alighted upon your face.” “ How good of you!” murmured the lady coldly, “but I understand your maneuver; perhaps you will do me the justice to admit that you have not removed the roses. Nature put them there, not rouge and powder.” That is the point. Every woman 1s anxious about her beauty; the brightness of her eyes, the clearness of her skin, the abundance of her hair and the plumpness of her figure. Artificial means will not bring about this combi- nation; wafers and cosmetics are a delusion and a snare. Anything that expands the chest, creates new blood, arouses the circulation, provides something fit to circulate, will bring brightness to the eye and roses to the cheek. When the storage capacity of the lungs Is as it should be, the oxygen in the atmosphere is an effec- tive means of bringing about these desirable results. But when the lungs are only partially used, the Storage can only be partial and the assimilation imperfect. To meet this unwholesome condition, a larger supply of blood making oxygen is necessary, so that what assimilating surface remains can have a salutary excess over the normal. The Compound Oxygen Treatment is this excess. It is inhaled directly to the breathing surfaces, when it is promptly assimilated, because the neces- sary chemical changes to that end have already taken place in the laboratory of Drs. Starkey and Palen. The Compound Oxygen Treatment not only con- veys to the lungs an increased supply of blood food, but it restores the disused air cells to their func- tions, and shortly, you find your breathing capacity is increasing daily. Then with expanded chest, full breathing capacity and consequently, full storage room, the progress to health and rosy cheeks will be rapid. A book of 200 pages will tell who have been cured by the Compound Oxygen Treatment. The book will be sent entirely free of charge to any one who will address Drs.
