Three prominent men are stated to have lately tested the "oxygen cure." The first drew a long deep breath from the receiver, and reported that the sensation was delightful; he felt it tingle to the ends of his fingers. The second took an inspiration, and became pale and agitated; he was told that the oxygen had found a weak spot in his anatomy. The third man declared he felt nothing; he could take the stuff in all day. Then it was discovered that the "Professor" had forgotten that morning to connect the tube with the oxygen reservoir. The patients had been breathing ordinary atmospheric air.—Woman's Journal.
