Thumbnail Graphics INDEX History of the Invention
HISTORY OF THE INVENTION. [Fig. 1] Seven years ago I made the discovery that when rods of copper and zinc
(fig. 1, c & z) were surrounded by iron filings,
other metals pulverized, and certain chemicals, a force was produced, when
there existed a difference of temperature of not less than 30 degrees,
between the combined metals and the terminal ends of wires or poles (p
& n). The force is not produced by any of the means employed to generate
electricity. As hereafter shown, it produces results never accomplished
by electricity. I named the device Thermo-Ozone Battery; but as the term
"Battery" caused many to associate this force with electricity, I have
now changed the name to Thermo-Ozone Generator.
The force bears no relation or resemblance to an electric force, which breaks down animal tissues and any structure with which it is brought in contact, as shown in the destruction of gas and sewer pipes coming in contact with a grounded electric wire. Electricity cannot be safely used as a curative agent, because it always disintegrates whatever it is brought in contact with, as is especially shown in electro-plating. THE THERMO-OZONE FORCE carries medicine into any organ of the body, and, as proven by experience, produces cures heretofore believed impossible. Stomach medication has been a lamentable failure, because different foods require different chemical action for their digestion, and medicine is so altered by this chemical change that it is impossible to determine when it leaves the stomach and enters the blood circulation, whether its results will be for good or evil. The discovery that medicine and oxygen can be sent into diseased tissues unchanged is the most important discovery made since the art of medicine was known. Its value cannot be measured. By its use in home treatment nearly every acute disease is cured at its beginning, and many chronic cases incurable by any other treatment. These statements, when measured by results obtained from usual medical treatment, appear vain and arrogant; but they must be admitted when thousands of distinguished physicians (unsolicited) report that by the use of the discovery they have cured many cases of uterine fibroids, goitre, diabetes, sclerosis of the liver, catarrh causing deafness, local cancer, locomotor ataxia, etc. To demonstrate the value of the discovery, I treated thousands of the sick poor before permitting physicians to employ my device. Its success induced Dr. Schweigh of New York, a distinguished physician and author of an excellent treatise "On Electric Transfusion," to procure a generator for a relative suffering from dropsy and insomnia. In a short time he wrote as follows: Dear Doctor - Your invention soon relieved my patient of dropsy and
produced most refreshing sleep. I have entertained for years a theory which
reconciles with physical laws the therapeutic results obtained by your
battery. The sick want more oxygen. They procure it by rapid breathing.
The oxygen thus obtained Nature distributes through the blood by the means
of the heart pump.
In addition to the passive incorporation of oxygen, comes the indirect,
but no less important, benefit of saving labor, which, beyond a doubt,
is the direct cause of heart failure. With the passive substituted for
the active appropriation of oxygen, there will be immunity from exertion
and consequent exhaustion, the only cause for heart failure will have been
removed, and death from that cause will become a thing of the past.
This letter, from a very distinguished physician, inspired me with renewed confidence that I had made a discovery of more value than I believed possible. I soon found by trial treatment that oxygen alone, when carried into the blood circulation, would control the heat of fever in one hour's time; and also produce most refreshing sleep in long standing cases of insomnia. My first trial for this purpose was in the case of Mr. G. A. Moss, manufacturer, Reade Street, New York City, residing in Orange, N. J. He came to my house one evening and stated that he had employed different physicians and was unable to obtain any relief from indigestion, violent palpitation of the heart and pains through the chest. He had not had a good night's sleep for months; in short, he was a total wreck. He had sold his home, turned his business over to others, and was about to go abroad under the advice of his physician. I applied the treatment to his ankle. In one hour he was relieved from pain. The next day he reported that he had slept well. His improvement was rapid and permanent. I say him today, July 20, 1897, for the first time in two years; he was active and apparently in perfect health. He informed me that he was now able to do as much business as he ever did in his life, and was actively engaged in manufacturing. This case confirms the statement of Dr. S., in which he says "Oxygen is the greatest healer that Nature possesses, etc." The next trial was made upon Rev. Mr. Bastow, Madison Avenue, New York City. He informed me that he has been troubled with mental and physical debility, nervous prostration, insomnia and obstinate constipation for years. That he had employed distinguished physicians in Europe and this country, but had received no benefit from their treatment. The Generator was applied on May 1, 1892, and on the following day he wrote as follows: I tried the treatment last night and got a very much better night's
sleep than usual; then, too, I am far lighter and happier today than I
have been in a long time. It seems as if I had struck something at last
that will enable me to sleep and build up the nervous system.
This patient was discharged fully cured on June 20, 1893. The cure of these two cases, which had baffled the skill of eminent physicians, inspired me with the belief that brain fag, mental debility, nervous prostration and other similar ailments of the nervous system were now for the fist time curable, and that the practice of sending this class of sufferers abroad to receive purchased affection and care would soon end. In a short time, from editorial mention of the discovery in newspapers
and medical journals, physicians commenced to send for the Generator; and
to further prove the value of oxygen when introduced into the blood, I
quote from a few of the letters received from distinguished physicians.
I have been a sufferer for many years with excessive nervousness. Have
treated myself and a number of other cases of nervous prostration with
your battery, and I consider it the most potent agent known in this class
of diseases.
Colton, Cal., September 20, 1893.
San Francisco, Cal., August 1, 1893.
From the Boston Transcript of June 23, 1893: S. R. Beckwith, M. D., of New York, an eminent surgeon, has discovered that ozone and oxygen can be conveyed into the blood, and thus direct to the seat of disease. Oxygen, the greatest of all purifiers, is introduced into the veins or sewers of our system, where, in connection with ozone, it will destroy disease-producing germs and the vast variety of animalcules which produce such destructive diseases as diphtheria, smallpox, cholera, scarlet and typhoid fever, etc. The oxygen carried into the blood forms new, red corpuscles, repairing waste tissues and giving strength and energy to debilitated structures. If any one in this country questions the value of transfusion of oxygen, we would refer them to the following abstract from the London Mail, May 23, 1897: "Tomorrow the Princess Louise will open a hospital in Fitzroy Square for the treatment of wounds, ulcers, etc., by the introduction of oxygen. In all, 72 cases have been treated in the Home, representing an aggregate
of 327 years of suffering; of this 46 have been cured, 14 are under treatment
and are progressing favorably. Reduced to average of cure, the patients
had suffered for eight and one-half years, and were cured by the introduction
of oxygen in two months."
A NEW PRINCIPLE INVOLVED IN THE DISCOVERY. Unlike any electrical invention, it generates a force by heat and cold, takes from air and water in contact with the positive pole their oxygen and ozone, and conveys these natural curative agents as well as medicine into the blood circulation. The advantage to be secured by the introduction of these curative agents can only be determined by results. For this purpose I selected cases believed to be incurable, as will be shown by the following reports: A. T. Albra, M. D., of Newark, N. J., age 84, applied to Tifit Beckwith, M. D., of Orange, N. J., for the treatment of a cancer located under his right eye. It had once been removed by the knife, but returned with increased malignancy. Within two months he wrote as follows: "Dear Doctor - By the use of your treatment I have been entirely cured of a cancer of several years standing, and which I believed was incurable." U. Cornell Allen, Paper Manufacturer, of Sandy Hill, N. Y., writes as follows: "My father, past 90, has been cured in six months of a cancer on his forearm, which was spreading in spite of previous treatment." Morris Park, L. I.
Mr. Dumas, 114 East Twenty-eighth street, New York, was afflicted with rheumatic gout, causing deposits on his finger joints; he had been unable to close his hands for three years. After using the battery for three months, he wrote us the following note: Dear Doctor - I am free from any disease; the treatment has not only
removed the enlargement of my joints, but has entirely cured me of frequent
attacks of vertigo, from which I have suffered for a long time. I have
gained sixteen pounds in weight since I commenced the treatment.
Dear Doctor - I am using the battery for goitre, the measurement of
the patient's neck in the largest part has diminished two inches in five
weeks.
These marvelous cures, together with thousands of other equally severe
cases, each of which is verified by physicians' letters, which can be seen
by any physician or sufferer, leave no room to doubt that stomach medication
and its consequent failures will soon be replaced by a curative treatment
founded upon natural and rational principles.
BACTERIA CAN ONLY BE DESTROYED BY OZONE. Of all unfortunate errors that have afflicted the art of medicine none is more to be regretted than the ignorance displayed respecting ozone. Physicians have bought contrivances to disseminate the odor of phosphorus, sulphur, etc., through the rooms of the sick and called it ozone. Ozone is that form of oxygen made by the Creator to destroy disease-producing germs which breed and multiply in decay and filth. These germs of disease arising from bad plumbing and products of decay in our homes, which cause diphtheria and other forms of epidemic disease, are named bacteria; other forms are cholera microbes, typhoid germs, etc.; in decaying flesh and cheese they attain a larger size, and are known as maggots. These germs destroy man in his struggle for life. The world would now only be populated by germ life if they were not destroyed by ozone. The display of Divine wisdom in the destruction of these deadly enemies to human life, should fill the hearts of every person with gratitude and adoration. Ozone, as is stated in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, bears a similar relation to oxygen that diamond does to coal. It is the most active form of oxygen, and as air floats over filth and decay the ozone leaves the atmosphere and enters the home of these germs and destroys them. It is by this means human life is preserved. The celebrated Prof. Faraday and Sir Henry Barnes reported to the English
Board of Health, that no ozone was found in the air of the cities of Manchester
and Brighton during the summer months.
THE WAYS OF MEDICINE SHOULD BE MENDED because they do not follow Nature's method of cure. Nature alone cures, medicine merely assists. Nature has but one plan of cure, which consists in causing an increased rapidity of breathing and heart's action to take into the system, and distribute by the blood circulation that increased amount of oxygen always demanded in every case of sickness. We have in medicine been living in a fool's paradise, for giving medicine
by the stomach in no way assists the efforts of nature. Its administration
is irrational; as large an amount goes to the legs as to the head when
administered for brain disease.
The art of medicine teaches that disease originates in any tissue [of] the body[,] is sent to the kidneys, bowels and skin. In these sewers all forms of disease-producing germs, as bacteria, etc., breed and multiply. The office of the veins is to return the arterial blood after it has given out oxygen and nutriment; this duty often exceeds the capacity of the veins to remove the waste, therefore disease originates in this blood. The veins are human sewers, from which the waste and decay of [something missing here in photocopy of text] ... The value of our discovery consists in the fact that it carries into
the veins oxygen, there forming new red corpuscles of blood.
THE DISCOVERY IS NOT ELECTRICAL: ITS NAME INDICATES A PRINCIPLE DISTINCT FROM ELECTRICAL FORCE. Many physicians have learned the harmful results produced by the present method of employing electricity. Quacks, taking advantage of the people's readiness to accept electricity as a cure-all, are mostly employing it. But the failure of electrical treatment will be understood by examining the following cut, taken from the work of Prof. Althause, M. D., of London, England: Fig. 2 represents a microscopical view of a
healthy muscular tissue. Fig. 3, the change produced
in it by a current of electricity of the same strength as is usually employed
in medicine.
IS THE DISCOVERY TRUE AND ITS USE PRACTIC[AL]? The statements of scientific electricians, eminent physicians and other distinguished persons, furnish the most reliable evidence respecting the value of the discovery. Dear Doctor - I have examined the Thermo Ozone Battery, and find that the principle upon which it is operated is correct, the action of the chemicals therein contained generating a current sufficient to meet the requirements made upon it. As to its curative powers, too high a value cannot be set upon it. This statement is made after a large experience with the battery in my family, and never did it fail to accomplish the desired results. Great benefits were derived from its use. A proper introduction of this battery to the public is all that is required.
If I can at any time explain in detail its principle of action and the
work that it has done for me, it will afford me great pleasure to do so,
and to answer any questions with reference thereto.
T. T. Eckert, Jr., of the Western Union, is more familiar with electric force than any other gentleman in this country. His letter previously published recites a history of the good effects of the treatment with the generator in his own person, and among his friends; also states that the invention is a scientific one. E. G. Cargill, Electrician of the Thompson & Houston Company, became acquainted with the value of the battery under circumstances that induced an unusually careful examination of its merits. Mrs. Prof. J. B. Paine, M. D., of Boston, Mr. Cargill's sister, had used the battery for a long existing ailment and found that it was the only treatment which gave her relief. As the principle involved in the discovery, the mechanical construction of the device and the elements employed to develop a current were new to this electrician, he took the battery to the office of Thompson & Houston, and there, with other electricians, carefully examined it. On reaching home he found his sister in great distress, she asked him for her battery, and told him that it was the only thing that had given her relief. He had destroyed it. He took the night train for New York, awaited our arrival at the office in the morning and urged us immediately to send another battery to his sister; also stated to us that from examination made of the invention, it was found to be capable of generating the force claimed. "You are at liberty to refer to me in reference to the good results that I have seen it produce." Dear Doctor - I have carefully examined your invention, and am familiar with its construction. It will generate a force sufficient in intensity to decompose water at the positive electrode, set free its oxygen and ozone, and convey them with medicine into the tissues of the body. For proof, I constructed a box as here shown: [Fig. 4] The partition is rawhide, secured so as to make the box absolutely tight;
the positive pole of the Thermo Ozone Battery was placed in apartment "A,"
negative pole in "B"; the battery was immersed in very cold ice water;
each apartment was filled with warm water distilled from snow. In "A" was
put the Tr. of Aconite. In a short time the water in "B" was so thoroughly
saturated with the tincture that when tasted it produced a burning sensation
in the mouth and each instance the force of the current carried the drug
through the rawhide, as was shown by taste and chemical test.
I enlarged the experiments of Mr. Broadnax, and in each instance found
the battery capable of conveying soluble medicine through rawhide, dog
skin and other substances. This conveyance was accomplished by the force
produced by the battery, and not from endosmosis or exosmosis.
Unlike any other known force, it is generated by the action of heat and cold upon metals of different density when they are surrounded by chemicals; and as shown by results, is unlike an electric force. When the force is conveyed through the tissues of the body it cannot be felt, but the instant it is confined in the battery by what is known as a short circuit (which means that no intervening substance exists between the two poles, as shown in Fig. 5, where the conducting wires P. and N. are twisted together) and the battery is kept at a temperature of, say, 40 degrees, and its poles are heated to 200 or more degrees (too active a force to be employed in medical treatment) this force comes from the positive side "P" directly passing through the negative wire, back to the battery, and is there confined, in a few minutes a battery is shattered similar to the one here represented. Tubes of steel one-third of an inch in thickness were broken in the same manner. [Fig. 5] We have sent Generators to scientific men in different colleges of the
country, and each has been broken in the manner described. No one had been
able to determine the nature of this force any more than that of the X
ray until Russell D. Riley, Assistant Chief Operator of the Western Union
Telegraph (who was cured by the use of the discovery from physical debility
and nervous prostration caused by mental overwork) gave the subject a careful
study, and reached the results which we have already published.
In our previous report we selected the ratio of mortality in 5,000 cases treated in different European hospitals. At that time we were only able to give the percentage of mortality in 1,500 cases of thermo-ozone treatment, which were obtained from our own case-book and physicians' reports. Since then we have been able to make the comparison equal, and a slight change will be observed in the report.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE THERMO-OZONE GENERATOR [Fig. 6] The Generator immersed in water held in a non-metallic vessel; positive pole at wrist; negative pole three inches higher up; 2, conducting wires; 3 and 4, wired wood-pulp tablets. 1st - Stand the Battery in a glass or earthen vessel of very cold water. In acute cases use ice water; when ice is not at hand add to each quart of water one-quarter teaspoonful of common salt and one teaspoonful of Spirits of Ammonia. The water should never come higher than one half inch of the top of the generator. 2d - Buckle the disk or poles around ankle or wrist, with the positive pole (stamped "P" and attached to the red cord) nearest to hand or foot, with the negative (green cord) about three inches above it. Do not allow the disks to touch, as that will short-circuit the current. 3d - When the Generator is employed for the introduction of oxygen and ozone, place under each disk a sponge larger than the disk, wet in water of the temperature of the room. When a more intense current is required wet the sponge with hot salt water. 4th - Any soluble medicine can be administered by dropping it on the colorless side of the wired wood pulp tablets. Place it under the disk marked "P," with the opposite or colored side next to the metal, and see that the metallic point fits into the opening in the centre of the tablet. Constantly keep a wet sponge under the negative disk during the treatment. The medicine is carried into the blood circulation in ten minutes, when the tablet should be removed and a wet sponge made to take its place. 5th - To medicate any diseased part, remove the disks from the short
elastics and attach them to an elastic tape long enough to surround diseased
part, as shown in illustrations.
READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. Once a week unscrew the cap of the Generator and clean the connection between wire and posts. If any strands of wire are broken cut the wire, remove the silk covering one inch, then twist the wire, red cord, in copper post, green one, in zinc post. Wind each wire with rubber tape or silk to prevent their coming in contact. Keep metals clean and bright where hooks and disks are connected. When the Generator is not in use, always cover it with a piece of paper before winding the cord around it, otherwise the force will be impaired. The Generator is warranted to operate for three years, otherwise it
will be refilled without cost. New wires are furnished for 50 cents, which
can be inserted in the manner directed.
CAN FAMILIES EMPLOY THE TREATMENT? The best answer I can make to this inquiry is to quote from a letter received from one of my former students, now a very eminent physician: My Dear Professor - I have cured many difficult cases with your discovery, even several uterine fibroids; but I will be compelled to move or cease furnishing families with the Thermo-Ozone Battery. The patients now treat themselves, and those who formerly paid me not less than $100 annually, pay less than $10. 621 N. Carrollton Avenue,
During the past six years I have witnessed often its power over disease in typhoid fever, dropsy, blood poison, anemia, paralysis, la grippe, pneumonia, angina pectoris, rheumatism, kidney and bladder disease, peritonitis, hay fever, asthma, insomnia, etc. I have also seen patients rally under the treatment where skillful physicians had given unfavorable prognosis. From this observation I am convinced that the battery in the hands of physicians will prove a most valuable auxiliary, especially in the treatment of cases that cannot be cured without its use. I am satisfied that when it is used by families it will cure more severe, acute and difficult chronic cases than can be cured by medical skill without it. This comparison is not made with any disrespect to physicians, but is the statement of simple truth. When the medical profession understands the value of the battery in conveying into the blood and into diseased parts oxygen, ozone and medicine, and also learns the curative effect of these agents, they will confess that I am correct. As soon as I learned the value of the treatment I was satisfied that
every one of my families should have a battery and apply it themselves
at the beginning of every disease. Their success has demonstrated the correctness
of my opinion. Yours fraternally,
Auburn, Neb., March 8, 1897.
Case 2. Mrs. C. had severe puerperal convulsions during labor,
followed by puerperal fever, her temperature rose to 104 degrees, pulse
125 beats. I sent appropriate medicine into the blood circulation by the
battery; in two hours the pulse was reduced to 90, temperature to 99 degrees.
No other treatment was employed but the battery, and the patient made a
rapid recovery. Here was a case that could have been cured by your discovery
without the aid of a physician.
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 15, 1897.
Schoolcraft, Mich., March 1, 1897.
Disease in any part of the body or in any organ can be readily treated in family practice by applying the disks of the Generator when possible so as to enclose the affected part. For example, in rheumatism of the knee, the disks are to be applied on each side of the joint; medicine and oxygen are conveyed into the seat of inflammation. In pneumonia, the disks rest on the chest so as to enclose the affected lung, or if both lungs are diseased, the disks are placed on the sides of the chest. In neuralgia, the positive disk should always rest over the most painful part of the nerve, and the negative along the track of the nerve. In case of fever, medicine is rarely required. The treatment can be applied here to wrist or ankle, always observing to put the positive disk farthest from the heart, so that when oxygen is conveyed into the veins, it will return to the lungs and mingle with the oxygen inhaled. No rules can be given for repetition of treatment. The best judgment of the party using the invention must be relied upon. The more severe the disease the more frequently the treatment should be applied. In reference to the temperature of the water in which the battery is
immersed: No fixed temperature can be given. One person is very sensitive
and another less so; therefore whenever the treatment aggravates, a result
recognized by fullness of the head and palpitation of the heart, the water
for the Generator should be used less cold.
This is largely due to sending oxygen into the blood of the veins or human sewers, where all disease originates. Carried with the oxygen is allotropic oxygen (ozone) which destroys every kind of disease-producing germs, from cholera microbe to cancer bacillus. All diseases produced by deficiency of red corpuscles which causes debility, green sickness, nervous prostration, brain fag, insomnia, etc., are readily cured by the introduction of oxygen, which alone furnishes the needed supply of red corpuscles. Diabetes, rheumatism, Bright's disease, etc., are due to change of blood in the veins; here oxygen and medicines remove this trouble. I desire to correct an error which has long existed among physicians, that disease arises in any part of the body. It certainly originates in the impure blood of the veins or human sewers, and cannot in the blood of the arteries, because that is pure and moves rapidly to every structure of the body by the action of the heart. Pure spring water pumped through house pipes, becomes impure from the products of the home. Oxygen and ozone are the only known disinfectants. Antiseptics used for this purpose merely change one odor to another. The inhalation of compound or other oxygen is of no value, because in
every disease the rapid breathing furnishes all the oxygen that can be
distributed. The force produced by our discovery is the only known force
that sends oxygen into the blood of the veins. The treatment is too important
and useful for fakirs or quacks to attempt to imitate it, or deceive the
suffering by their sentimental testimony, or by the use of a one-cord device
which produces no force.
The Creator in his creation of oxygen, which alone maintains life in
plants and animals, mingled with it an agent which has been named ozone.
It is the only agent capable of destroying every form of disease-producing
germs. Not a blade of grass or grain could live and grow if ozone did not
destroy the germs which are attached to them. When the germs are too numerous
for the ozone to destroy them, the plants wither and die. When disease-producing
germs are too numerous in the human blood for the ozone which is inhaled
to destroy, sickness and death follow. Each variety of germs breeds in
a different locality of the body. Diphtheria has its seat in the throat.
Those that breed in the follicles of the skin produce eruption. The most
dangerous germs are those of typhoid, which multiply in Peyer's glands
of the abdomen, and cause different stages of the fever by their birth,
existence and death. To cure this fearful fever and prevent its continuance
is the highest achievement known to the art of medicine. I want the world
to know that ozone, sent into these glands by the Generator, will destroy
them and arrest the fever at once. This is important, as stomach medication
never has cured, nor can cure, a single case, because it cannot destroy
a single germ. To prove the former statement, I will send to any responsible
party in reply to a telegram that a member of their family has typhoid
fever in its first stage, a Generator, and will risk the value of the Generator
and loss of my surgical reputation on the result of its use in killing
the typhoid germs and ending the fever by three applications.
WHEN MEDICINE SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED. Fully nine-tenths of all physicians who have practiced for twenty-five years, declare that the sick are better off as a whole without stomach medication than with it. The failure of medicine to cure is proven by the only safe and reliable testimony. Here the important question arises. Is it the fault of medicine or its administration? The Almighty in the work of His creation did not fail to furnish medicinal agents capable of curing disease; therefore the fault arises from the error of its administration. Every family has a medicine chest largely made up of nostrums and other compounds. To supply families with carefully selected remedies, we furnish a family case of ten remedies, each named after the disease it is intended to cure. For example, the vial labeled "Fever" contains Aconite, Gelseminum, etc. In our description of diseases and their treatment, we refer to these remedies in such cases as can be benefited by them. Medicine is rarely required in the treatment of fever, because the Generator sends into the blood-circulation oxygen, thereby subduing the fever. In nervous prostration the effect of the force upon the nerve centres and the formation of new red corpuscles by oxygen, produce the most delightful sleep and stimulate the weak nerves. In cancer, enlarged prostate, diabetes, uterine fibroids, etc., such medicine has to be carried into these growths as is best adapted to each individual case; therefore persons purchasing the Generator for the cure of this class of ailments, will always have the medicine sent with it, and thereafter they are to report the results, when we will send prescriptions with further directions. From having treated the sick for seven years by the discovery, and from having sold more than 16,000 Generators to physicians who have furnished us in return with a larger amount of evidence in favor of the treatment than ever before given since the art of medicine was known, we feel warranted in assuring the sick that even in home treatment a larger ratio of cures can be obtained than by any other means. In giving the treatment of different diseases, we append letters from physicians, or statements of our own patients, to show how the treatment has operated under actual trial. To avoid repetition, refer to directions. Salt water is preferable to
fresh for wetting the sponges as it is a better conductor.
This distressing ailment is caused by a partial spasmodic closure of the air cells, making it difficult for air to enter the lungs. This closure is due to an abnormal action of the nerves; therefore to cure, the treatment has to be both temporary and permanent. [Fig. 7] To obtain relief during the attacks, apply the disks as shown in figure 7, so that the partially closed air cells shall be between the disks. The Generator should stand in ice water, if it can be procured, if not use as cold water as can be obtained from wells or springs. Twenty drops of a prescription composed of equal parts Tr. of Lobelia, Ipecac, Cymplocarpus (Skunk Cabbage) is dropped on the colorless side of one of the tablets and placed under the positive disk, and allowed to remain for ten minutes; if the spasm is not relieved, repeat the dose. This treatment to be applied any time during an attack or at its approach. To permanently cure the ailment, the Generator should be applied once a day to the ankle in the manner described in directions. The first case of asthma I treated was that of my brother Prof. D. H. Beckwith, M. D., of Cleveland, Ohio. He had been a sufferer from asthma for many years; the spasms of difficult breathing were very distressing. The first application relieved him, and I respectfully refer any patient to him for further information. E. D. Olmsted, M. D., of Spokane, Wash., on April 11, 1897, writes: I am using your treatment in case of a man with exopthalmic goitre, complicated with asthma, with marvelous results. This patient has consulted the best specialists in Chicago, used galvanism and all the usual treatment with but indifferent success. The Thermo treatment gave him almost instant relief. Mrs. H. Seeley, of Rensselaer City, N. Y., had been afflicted with asthma
for many years; she came to this city to attend the Grant Celebration,
but was unable to go out. The Generator was applied and soon relieved her.
A few days since she wrote that there was no return of the disease.
is an inflammation of the appendage to the valve between the small and large intestines, where they unite at the right and lower portion of the abdomen. The appendage is composed of fibrous and muscular tissues, one end is attached to the valve; its purpose is to open and close the valve so as to regulate the passage from the small to the large intestines. It is of worm shape, therefore is called vermicular. When a child swallows a penny the vermiform appendage forcibly contracts, opens the valve wide, and allows the foreign substance to pass. It keeps the valve closed to prevent the regurgitation of the contents of the stand-pipe or large intestine, except when some portion of the contents of the small intestine is in a condition to pass into the large one. It is the only strictly automatic valve ever constructed, and man cannot
imitate its action.
The disease has been known from all time, until recently, as inguinal peritonitis. From some unaccountable reason, surgeons in this country only have declared that the appendage was often inflamed, and its removal was required. If it were true that the entire appendage was cut off, the valvular motion would cease and death would ensue. Fortunately the upper portion can be removed without destroying the muscular action of the appendage, and this constitutes the useless operation. I admit that in this form of peritonitis, adhesion may occur, and an operation under certain circumstances may be advisable; but by the use of our discovery both oxygen and medicine are sent into the inflamed tissues and relief is obtained in a very short time. The mode of treatment is to apply the positive disk over the seat of pain, the negative about four inches to the left, having them secured in place by a piece of elastic tape going around the body. Stand the Generator in very cold ice water, with a sponge wet in warm salt water under the negative disk. Twenty-five drops of a prescription composed of 20 drops Tr. Aconite, 2 oz. Tr. Iodine and 1 oz of water, mixed, should be applied on the tablet under the positive disk. In 10 minutes remove the tablet and have a similar wet sponge to that under the negative disk take its place, and continue the treatment for one hour; it may be repeated every three hours until the inflammation has subsided. Experience has shown beyond a doubt that this method of treatment will cure nearly every case. I here append three examples of different cases. J. H. Lindsley, architect, of Newark, N. J., had peritonitis, diagnosed chronic appendicitis, treated by several physicians; prognosis of each unfavorable. In consultation with my son, Dr. Tifft Beckwith, we examined the patient, found him a mere wreck, emaciated beyond description. The right and lower part of abdomen was full of lumpy deposits. At times one of these deposits would come in contact with the valve and arrest its movement. The treatment before described was applied and resulted in a complete cure. J. J. Davis, M. D., of Racine, Wis., states that by similar use of our discovery, he treated and cured L. H. Larsen, of an attack of acute appendicitis, and gives it as his opinion that no other treatment could have saved his life. B. L. Robinson, M. D., of McLean, N. Y., writes: "I have used the Generator
in a case of appendicitis with extensive adhesion, where an operation had
been performed without affording relief. By the use of the Generator the
patient made a rapid recovery."
is a congestion and inflammation of the minute vein capillaries of the bronchial tubes, which become thickened and rough. This change produces dry cough, difficulty of breathing and constriction of the chest. Medicine taken by the stomach affords no relief. When medicine and oxygen are carried into the congested and inflamed tissues, the disease is at one arrested. In acute bronchitis, apply the disks as shown in fig. 7. Use 10 drops
of the "Fever" remedy, which may be repeated as frequently as the urgency
of the symptoms seem to demand. In no other form of inflammation is the
introduction of oxygen more useful. The sponges, wet in salt water, should
be kept under the disks for a full hour after the medicated tablet is removed.
Treatment may be repeated two or three times a day if the case is serious,
otherwise one application is quite sufficient.
Both acute and chronic laryngitis require the same treatment, except that the disks are to be applied on each side of the throat. Chronic laryngitis impairs the voice; this has been observed in public speakers to such an extent that the disease is known in medical books as Clergyman's Sore Throat. A few drops of a weak solution of Iodine or Iodide of Potassium sent into the larynx once or twice a day very soon removes the thickening of the mucous membrane, and restores the voice. S. Passadena, California.
I have employed the treatment in several cases of bronchitis, and each
case has been relieved, where other means employed had failed.

Dear Doctor - Enclosed find check for two more batteries. The Scott
case, which was believed incurable from bronchial consumption, is rapidly
improving, and I believe will fully recover.
This fatal disease, in view of the utter failure of stomach medication to relieve it, is an impressive evidence against the art of medicine as now practiced. The disease causes a structural change in the tubes, cells and other portions of the kidneys. Therefore no treatment but that of sending oxygen and medicine into the structure of the organ can remove these pathological conditions. Before I came fully to appreciate the value of my treatment or to recognize the folly of administering medicine by the stomach for this disease, I avoided treating the ailment. My first case was that of Mrs. M. A. Hoyt, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; the disease was of two years' duration; her face was puffy and pale; feet and limbs swollen; there was nausea and vomiting, with great prostration; albumen in excess, specific gravity of urine very high. The disks of the Generator were applied on each side of the kidney, and the Tr. of Heloine was conveyed into the organ for ten minutes; then the oxygen treatment was employed for one hour; treatment repeated daily. She made a quick recovery. Her father-in-law, Colonel Hoyt, of the Drug Department of the New York Custom House, states that his daughter remained well. Those having the ailment should write their symptoms, that we may direct the treatment. Schoolcraft, Mich., Jan. 11, 1897.

When the medical profession understands the value of the battery in conveying into the blood and into diseased parts oxygen, ozone and medicine, and also learns the curative effect of these agents, they will confess that I am correct. As soon as I learned the value of the treatment I was satisfied that
every one of my families should have a battery and apply it themselves
at the beginning of every disease. Their success has demonstrated the correctness
of my opinion. Yours fraternally,
This fearful destroyer of human life is produced by germs of the bacillus
order. The germs breed and multiply in the breast, uterus, rectum or other
tissues of the body. So long as they remain in one locality, the disease
can be cured by destroying the germs. It is of but little use to remove
a cancer by the knife, as some of the germs remain and propagate, causing
a return of the cancer. In cancers of the breast I have often carried the
exsection so far as to remove not only the entire breast, but the gland
of the armpit. Notwithstanding this thoroughness of exsection, in the large
proportion of cases the disease reappeared in some part of the body. The
removal of a cancer by zinc or other pastes (a mode of cure adopted by
cancer doctors) is very objectionable. It causes severe pain, and is less
certain to remove all of the germs than the knife. Fortunately when ozone
and appropriate medicine are carried into a cancerous growth, the germs
are destroyed, and the disease does not return.
St. Francis, Minn., June 16, 1897.
When I first commenced the treatment the cancer of the left limb was full of small tubercular formations, which I was told come in the last stages of the disease. Soon after using the battery they entirely disappeared; also the lumps and deposits in my arm and shoulder. Whenever a lump appeared I applied the battery and it was removed at once. I cannot hope for recovery. The disease seems to be in every part of my body. I am very weak. The battery has been of great comfort to me throughout my distress;
it has relieved the pain and caused me to sleep well. No other treatment
relieved my suffering. I feel that your talent in the invention has been
a wonderful mercy to the sick. I wish you would send me some pamphlets
that I might distribute a knowledge of your discovery while I am able.

May, 1897.
What anxious fears are awakened in the mother's breast when she recognizes the ominous characteristic sound of croup! Croupous inflammation, unlike other forms, causes a deposit in the wind-pipe, narrowing its diameter, and this produces the peculiar crowing sound of croup. No time can be lost, the deposit increases, danger is near. It affords me great pleasure to prescribe a treatment which can be applied by any one, and is certain to give almost immediate relief. Apply the disks as shown in figure 8, using 15 drops of the "Fever" remedy, allowing the tablet to remain under the positive disk for ten minutes; then put a wet sponge in its place for one-half hour. If the child is not materially improved repeat the prescription at such intervals as the urgency of the case seems to demand. In no instance, either in our own practice or that of any other physician employing the discovery, has this treatment failed to cure inflammatory croup. [Fig. 8] Membranous Croup is slow in its approach, and is accompanied with but
little fever. This is the most dangerous form of the disease. Ten drops
of a prescription composed of Bi-chromate of Potash, 3 grains, mixed with
1 ounce of water, should be applied to the throat (on tablet) for 10 minutes,
then the sponges for one hour during the day when the child is not seriously
affected. Application is to be made two or three times during the day unless
the difficulty of breathing is removed. As evening approaches the breathing
becomes more difficult; then apply the treatment as directed in inflammatory
croup. In all cases hot water should be constantly kept on the throat when
the treatment is not applied.
is produced by a species of germ known as bacteria. These fearful destroyers of children breed in the veins and mucous membrane of the throat. Their presence can be detected by a peculiar sweet smelling breath and light patches on the throat. In this disease there exists a peculiar expression of the face, with dilated pupils, by which it can be recognized. I know from careful microscopic examinations that diphtherial bacteria will not be destroyed even when placed in a solution of most of the drugs employed in this disease. They live a less period of time in Alcohol than in any drug solution. Too many boards of health have reported that ozone destroys these germs in a few moments of time to admit of further discussion on the subject. Apply the disks of the Generator on each side of the throat, as shown in fig. 8. If fever exists, drop 10 drops of the fever remedy on the light side of one of the tablets and place it under the positive disk. In this case, as in all others, keep a wet sponge under the negative disk (preferable to have sponge wet in salt water). In ten minutes remove the tablet and put a wet sponge in its place for one-half hour; treatment to be repeated every two or three hours. If the breath becomes fetid, and mouth and throat of a dark color, have an ointment made composed of 5 grs. yellow sulphuret of mercury mixed with 2 oz. lard; cover the light side of the tablet with the ointment and place it under the positive disk, then continue the treatment as before stated. Repeat the administration every two hours. During an epidemic of diphtheria, the disks of the Generator should
be applied to the ankle with wet sponges, every other day for the purpose
of destroying the germs and preventing an attack of the disease.
In this disease an excess of sugar is found in the urine. The secretion of the kidneys is increased even in some instances to two or three gallons daily. As diabetes often comes from mental causes, liver trouble, indigestion, etc., each patient should give me a full statement of his symptoms, and a history of the case, to the end he may receive advice before applying the treatment. I will send with the Generator such prescription as I believe best adapted to each case and the treatment can be continued without further cost than the price of the instrument. The treatment should be applied as shown in fig. 11. I believe every person of ordinary intelligence will appreciate the advantages to be gained from sending medicine and oxygen into the kidneys. Every person suffering with this disease, I believe, will confirm the statement that they have received more benefit from mineral water and diet than from the taking of medicines through the stomach. Randolph, Mass., Feb. 10, 1897.
We continued Dr. Allen's treatment for four weeks, then employed an excellent chemist to examine the urine, who found no evidence of diabetes. The patient was then discharged cured, and at this writing is in good health. Similar remarkable results have been obtained not only in my own experience,
but in that of many physicians using our invention.
In case of simple diarrhoea no medicine is required. The disks should be applied on each side of the abdomen, keeping under each disk a sponge wet in salt water the temperature of the room. Have the Generator stand in ice water. This treatment is to be applied once or twice a day, according to the conditions. But if the diarrhoea be accompanied with much pain, then use about 15 drops of the "Pain" remedy in the manner before described. If simply oxygen alone does not cure the ailment, then use 20 drops of the "Diarrhoea" remedy. Frequency of the application must depend upon the urgency of the symptoms. Dysentery is an inflammation of the lower bowel; its mucous membrane becomes denuded, causing hemorrhage. Here the positive disk should be applied on the left and lower side of the abdomen, with the negative about four inches to the right. The "Fever" remedy should be administered in 20-drop doses, and the application made every three hours. A dysentery discharge should not be arrested suddenly, as that will
leave the parts congested and inflamed. Control the inflammation and the
disease ends; therefore, the "Fever" remedy is all that is usually required
in this disease. In difficult cases the physician's prescription had better
be applied with the Generator, instead of domestic medicine. Yet, in our
experience, we have never required any other treatment for dysentery except
the "Fever" and "Pain" remedies.
is a condition produced by collection of water in the cavity of the abdomen or of the chest, or in the cellular tissue of the skin. It is produced by a variety of causes, as liver trouble, indigestion, intemperance, impoverished blood, disease of the uterus, kidneys, etc.; and it is best for patients to write us their symptoms, and depend upon prescription sent. That the treatment will cure dropsy in a very large proportion of cases has been fully demonstrated. The following report of the second application I ever made of my discovery is alone sufficient evidence to prove its curative value. Judge C. K. Smith, former attorney of Commodore Vanderbilt, called at our office and stated that a friend of his had been ill for eight months suffering from dropsy of the abdomen and chest, with swollen feet and [?]thighs. Her pain was so severe that five or six injections of morphine were given daily; medicine was administered by suppositories, food by injections, as the stomach would not retain even a few drops of fluid. She had been under the care of Dr. ------ and others, and was at the time under treatment by Dr. Beck. She did not pass more than two ounces of urine daily. Each physician had given an unfavorable prognosis. In eleven days he again reported that the first application of the battery produced two hours of refreshing sleep, and caused an active secretion of the kidneys. She had improved hourly since commencing the treatment, and had so [?] [?]constantly recovered that he was freed from anxiety about the case and would sail the following day for Paris, and desired a battery sent [?]to [?]--th him. He also stated that his physician, Dr. Beck, would call on the following day and verify his statement; which he did. I believe this remarkable cure, reported by the highest authority, will be the means of inducing others to employ a treatment by which many lives may be saved. 1204 Stockton St.,
That you may form a correct opinion of my condition, some of my friends
thought I would not live during the night, and sent around in the morning
to learn how I was. I used the treatment twice a day, and in two weeks
the dropsy was entirely relieved. It has proven very valuable in the treatment
of our family for rheumatism.
In former publications we have said but little about the cure of catarrh, for the reason that education had fixed in our minds the accepted belief that catarrh was an incurable disease. Since that time we have received from many eminent physicians reports of cures, and have treated in our office a vast number of cases with curative results that have been truly surprising. I, therefore, especially desire to impress upon those afflicted with this disease the fact that the disease is for the first time curable. Catarrh is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the cells of the sieve bones of the nose, which cannot be reached by inhalation, douches, snuff, or any other form of treatment, excepting that of sending medicine by the thermic force into the part affected. Catarrh is a disease of great importance, because the inflammation extends into the throat, bronchia, lungs and often to the stomach and bowels. Thousands of deaths occur annually from catarrhal consumption of the lungs and mesenteric glands. The following cut illustrates the mode of treatment. [Fig 9] The positive disk is placed under the lower jaw, the negative beside
the nose on the opposite side. Twenty drops of the "Catarrh" remedy is
dropped on the tablet, and is readily sent into the cellular formation
of the bones mentioned; the cure is certain and prompt provided the treatment
is continued with the use of wet sponge under each disk after the tablet
is removed, to carry oxygen into the parts. In electro-plating the silver
or other metal is carried through the water from positive to negative pole,
and at the negative pole is spread upon the object that is to be plated;
it then presents the appearance of silver. On the same principle the blood
circulation acts as a fluid to convey the medicine from positive to negative
pole. Here, as in other chronic ailments, it is best to give us the symptoms.
When the catarrh extends from the Eustachian tube of the throat into the middle or inner ear, it produces a deposit upon the mucous membrane surrounding the bones of the middle ear, and deafness is the result. No treatment has ever before been of any value in this form of deafness. A cure can be accomplished in a very short time by applying the treatment in the manner shown in fig. 9. The most valuable remedy we have yet discovered is 20 drops Tr. Aconite, 2 drs. Tr. Iodine and 2 oz. of water, mixed. Twenty drops of this solution is carried into the middle or inner ear once or twice a day; usually once is sufficient. As catarrhal deafness has never been benefited by medical treatment, it did not occur to me to think that our discovery might be of benefit in that complaint, until Francis Eppley, attorney, Nassau Street, this city, called at the office and stated he had lost the hearing of one ear from catarrh, and was fast losing the hearing of the other. He had a constant roaring, singing, buzzing in the ear, which was very distressing. I applied the treatment in the manner described, and in four days he was relieved. He desires more fully to explain the treatment and its results to any who will inquire of him or write him. This encouraged us to make further trial of the treatment, and we invited deaf people to call. Our next patient was Mr. Frank B. Leavenworth of Rochester, N.Y. He was very deaf, had been afflicted for seven years. By the first treatment he so far improved as to permit me to carry on a conversation with him at a distance of five feet. After three applications he went home, stating he was entirely well. Our next case was Mr. L. Fox, residing at 1268 Lexington avenue, this
city. He had been deaf for about twelve years, was only able to hear when
one shouted loudly in his ear. The roaring (tinnitus aurium) was very distressing.
In ten days I conversed with him without difficulty at a distance of ten
feet, and in two weeks he readily carried on an ordinary conversation across
the room. He desires me to state that he will take pleasure in giving further
particulars to any one who wishes to inquire.
is due to a chronic inflammation of the walls of the stomach, which prevents the normal secretion of gastric juice and interferes with the digestion. Those who reflect will recognize the folly of mixing medicine with the food contents of the stomach. The medicine never enters the walls so as to come in contact with the diseased parts. The disease is curable, provided the sufferer comprehends the important fact that the inflammation is aggravated by the presence of food; and that time is an important factor of a cure. Place the positive disk on the left border of the stomach near the floating ribs, the negative on the opposite end of the organ. The temperature of the water in which the battery is placed must be regulated by the sensitiveness of the patient; we have found some cases where the water could not be used any colder than 60 degrees F. without aggravating the disease, others could have the battery immersed in broken ice. Ten drops of the "Dyspepsia" remedy should be always used with each administration of oxygen, and the treatment continued for one half hour, and repeated as frequently as the urgency of the case requires. Every person is the best judge of his or her own diet, therefore my
prescription is that every patient take only such food as his experience
dictates.
I believe I have as faithfully endeavored to find a cure for this most distressing of all ailments as any other surgeon. In 1855 I ligated the carotid arteries in a great number of cases with the hope that by reducing the supply of blood to the brain the disease would be arrested; but the treatment proved a failure. I then commenced the use of bromides, and found it would often arrest the spasm, but this was largely done at the expense of a loss of the intellectual faculties. A few years since an epileptic patient called at my house, stating that he had had the disease for 20 years. I gave him a battery and directed him to send medicine into the upper portion of the spine and brain and to report in six months. I had no expectation of benefiting him but, to my surprise and pleasure, he called at the office at the end of six months and stated that he was well. Soon after this experience he wrote me that the treatment had cured his son of epilepsy. We have been successful in other cases, resulting in the percentage of cure before stated. I prefer to prescribe for each individual case, therefore those desiring
to employ the treatment are requested to write me their symptoms from which
I can better determine whether the treatment will be of advantage to them
or not. In either event, I will send them in time such advice, as in my
judgment, their case may seem to require.
Dr. Actley Cooper very truthfully stated that 95 per cent of all diseases were the product of inflammation and accompanied with fever. Nature is admitted to be the mother of all cure. It reduces the heat of the body by rapid breathing. Doctors give aconite, digitalis, etc., for the purpose of slowing down the action of the heart, thereby defeating the purpose of Nature, which intends that the heart shall pump more rapidly to distribute the excess of oxygen inhaled. The Ozone Generator decomposes water and sends 8-9 of it (oxygen) into the blood circulation, the other 1-9 (hydrogen) goes over to the negative pole and in this way just as certainly puts out the heat of fever as water puts out a fire. I have never applied the Generator in a case of fever without having the pulse reduced from 10 to 20 beats during the first application. I here assert that families, by the use of my discovery, can cure any form of fever by the introduction of oxygen in less time and with more certainty than any physician can with medicine. If this was the only merit the treatment possessed, it would be ---- ---because a vast number die from the effects of fever. Fevers are the product of a disturbance in the venous circulation, where they are caused by the presence of disease-producing germs. Malarial Fever is produced by the inhalation of germs which propagate
by the decay of vegetation. Scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., are epidemics.
Their germs float in the atmosphere, are inhaled and taken with food and
water.
THE MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL EPIDEMICS IS TYPHOID FEVER. The typhoid germs breed and multiply in Peyer's patches (or Peyer's glands) of the abdomen. The period occupied by their breeding is known as the first stage of the fever. From the glands they are carried into the blood circulation, and their presence in the circulation causes the second stage of the fever. The death and decay of the germs is the third stage, provided death of the patient does not occur earlier. From evidence furnished in hospital practice, and from my own experience in both hospital and private practice, I am prepared to state and prove that stomach medication is of no value in this fever, nor any other treatment excepting that which destroys the germs. The evidence obtained from medical authority is beyond contradiction, that by the use of the Generator, as shown in fig. 10, ozone, allotropic oxygen, can be carried into Peyer's glands and destroys the typhoid germs by two or three applications, when the fever will end. The treatment should be applied as follows: Gird the body with a piece of elastic tape, in which insert the disks so that the positive shall be a little to the right of the navel, the negative about three or four inches to the left of the positive. Let the Generator stand in very cold ice water. Have sponges wet in tepid salt water under each disk; they should be wet anew every ten minutes, and the treatment continued for one hour. If the pulse is reduced 15 or 20 beats, and the temperature 2 to 22 degrees, then wait and do not apply the treatment for eight or ten hours, when it may be reapplied as before until no evidence of the disease remains. Note what we state in reference to sending a battery to any one having typhoid fever in its first stage. The first application I made in a typhoid fever case I have often reported. The patient, Mr. J. Cooper, Prospect street, East Orange, N. J., had been sick and under a physician's care for twelve days. When I saw him the pulse was 125, temperature 104. Application made at 10 P. M.; at 1 A. M. temperature was reduced to 99, pulse to 90. Treatment reapplied in the morning and again in the evening. No other treatment was given. Patient was given a generous diet, and his recovery, unlike other recoveries in this disease, was not accompanied by great prostration. Case 2, the fever was in the second stage and very violent; pulse 130, temperature 105. The Generator was put in solid ice, treatment applied for two hours, and repeated at the end of four hours, when a gentle perspiration occurred on the forehead and other parts of the body. The pulse was now reduced to 100, temperature to 103. The after-treatment consisted of two or three applications a day, and the patient (though the case had been pronounced by the physicians in attendance to be probably fatal) made a quick recovery. Having published numerous letters from eminent physicians, as J. C.
Hummer, M. D., Baltimore, Md.; D. H. Beckwith, M. D., Cleveland, Ohio;
George Bliss, M. D., Maple Rapids, Mich.; Malcom Cameron, M. D., Washington,
D. C., and many others, we deem it unnecessary to repeat the evidence here.
is an enlargement of the thyroid gland of the neck, and often attains a large size; sometimes producing death from pressure upon the air passages. Because of the great vascularity of the parts the gland cannot be removed, and so far as I know, medical treatment has been of no value, as there existed no means by which medicine could be carried into the growth. The first knowledge we obtained in regard to curing goitre by the transfusion
of oxygen and medicine, was from the distinguished physician, D. S. H.
Sparhawk, of St. Johnsbury, Vt. He wrote us that he had met with surprising
success in the treatment of cancers, and also reported a case of removal
of goitre by the use of the Generator. Soon several other physicians in
different parts of the country related similar results. This led us to
make the application, which consisted in carrying medicine into the growth,
and we soon found it was not difficult to cure even exophthalmic goitre.
The prescription found most successful is always sent with the Generator,
when used for this purpose, or given to the physician. E. J. Morgan, M.
D., of Ithaca, N. Y., recently reported a very remarkable cure.
commonly known as piles, are a dilation or enlargement of one or more of the veins situated in the mucous membrane of the rectum. The tumors may be either internal or external. Often exhausting hemorrhage occurs. Removal by ligatures, caustic and the knife has been of much value in the treatment of this trouble, but its severity often prevents patients from submitting to it. Fig. 14 illustrates the mode of applying the treatment. We send with the Generator oblong tablets composed of wired felt cloth. The positive disk is placed over the tumors, negative as shown in cut. We have found the most beneficial application to be a prescription composed of equal parts Tr. Hamamelis and Hydrastis, carried into the tumor by using 20 drops on the tablet. Treatment should be used every day or every second day as required. If the tumors are internal we send with the battery a wired bougie, which is first medicated and passed into the rectum, having the positive cord attached to the wired loop in the bougie. The medicine by this means can be carried through the tumor by the force as it travels from positive to negative side. Even in chronic cases, only a few weeks is required for a cure. Joseph Fitzgerald, A. M., former editor of the Forum, writes: After
your battery had cured me of partial paralysis, I wired a piece of wood
pulp and passed it a little way into the rectum and attached it to the
positive pole, with the negative at the lower end of the spine. I then
carried into the tumors Tinct. of Hamamelis, resulting in a rapid cure.
My case was a very severe one, as I had been operated upon and received
other treatment for years without benefit.
The kidneys carry out of the body a large proportion of the poisonous matter produced by waste and decay. The poisonous substance is conveyed from the venous blood into the kidneys, where it is prepared for its emission. Owing to the delicate structure and the complex labor performed by the organs, a variety of diseases are often developed in the minute structure of the kidneys. The functions of the kidneys are so important that when no urine is secreted by the kidneys for a period of 24 hours, death soon follows. If a city sewer outlet is obstructed, the flushing of one of its branches would be as rational a procedure as stomach medication in kidney disease. The number of deaths which occur from diabetes, Bright's Disease, etc., ought to awaken a lively interest in a method of cure which is accomplished by sending oxygen and appropriate medicine into the substance of the kidneys. A change of color in the urine does not necessarily indicate disease, this is produced by a variety of food, etc. If the urine is very clear and in excess, diabetes is likely to follow. A brick-dust sediment indicates an excess of urea or uric acid. Strong odor with ropy mucous deposits, imply the existence of a catarrhal inflammation. Pain in the back, extending along the water ducts, is often caused by an excess of alkali in the blood. Bright's Disease is suspected if the urine is scanty, has a fetid odor and contains albumen. Oxygen sent into the kidneys neutralizes an acid or alkaline condition of the urine, also prevents the formation of albumen. Persons having any of the foregoing symptoms, can readily be relieved by the introduction of oxygen with the Generator, and a large proportion of these fatal diseases can be prevented. It will take some time to correct existing errors in reference to medication, and to make the important fact stated generally known. I am fearful that the profession are too firmly fixed in their old ideas to recognize the value of my discovery, until they are forced to do so by the people. I am anxious to preserve life and prevent disease by the transfusion
of ozone, oxygen and medicine. To do this the sick must be made to understand
that my scientific discovery ought not to be compared or measured by fakes
and nostrums, whose sale is for the purpose of gathering money.
[Fig. 11] Whenever there is inflammation, 20 drops of the "Kidney" remedy can
be used on the tablet; if there is pain, use 15 drops of the "Pain" remedy.
If the urine is scanty and there exists danger of dropsy, use 25 drops
of the Tr. of Apocynum Cannabium; and in all instances send oxygen into
the organs for a full half hour after the tablet is removed.
The liver is the largest gland in the body. It manufactures grape sugar and fat, which are sent to the lungs; it also produces bile to assist digestion. This complex work is accomplished by a countless number of cells; these require for the performance of their labor an extra amount of blood, which is furnished to the liver by a separate circulation system known as portal. When there is a shortage in the supply of sugar and fat for the lungs, cough and debility follow, and the symptoms are often mistaken for consumption. Oxygen sent into the liver in these cases, relieves the congestion of the liver cells, and at once they are enabled to perform their usual duties. When the amount of bile is lessened, constipation, headache and other familiar symptoms ensue. From each cell there is a duct, these ducts unite and form the bile duct. If one of the minute ducts becomes clogged the bile passes into the blood circulation, causing the yellow color of the skin, jaundice. When the cells are obstructed it causes hardening of the liver, sclerosis, a disease heretofore believed to be incurable. Ordinary liver complaints can be treated at home by binding a piece of elastic around the body, with the positive disk under the short ribs of the right side and the negative about two inches to the left of the pit of the stomach. The two poles of the Generator will now fairly well enclose the liver. Apply 15 drops of the "Liver" remedy, and never fail to use the wet sponges for one-half to one hour after the tablet is removed. Oxygen is an invaluable agent in the removal of obstructions of either cells or ducts; and the treatment should be applied once or twice a day according to the urgency of the symptoms. In a short time the bowels will become normal and other symptoms of disease of the liver be removed. The treatment cures sclerosis of the liver, as shown by the following reports, and therefore it seems to me that no one need ask if it will cure other ailments when it cures this incurable disease. I report two extreme cases to show how soon a less severe case can be relieved. David Ogden Day, conductor on the Orange Branch of the Erie Railroad,
had suffered from disease of the liver for six months. His pain was constant.
His family physician informed him that he had sclerosis of the liver and
would live but a very few months. When we examined him, we found the liver
very much enlarged. He was unable to take without nausea and vomiting any
food excepting black coffee. His pain was very severe; he was unable to
lie upon his right side. The treatment was applied with the "Pain" remedy
and in one hour the pain was relieved. He then applied the treatment at
home and reported in three weeks, stating that so far as he knew, he was
entirely cured. He was hungry all the time, and ate four meals a day. He
has continued his business without losing a day since the treatment, and
desires any one to write him for further information in regard to his case.
Baltimore, Md., June 1, 1896
What is this force producing such remarkable results? This I cannot
understand; but I know from observation that its cures are such that the
doctor and undertaker will not be in favor of your discovery.
Office of J. W. Whaley, Dealer in Dry Goods,
The stomach churns the food, reduces it to a pulp that the gastric juice may the better mix with it. A valve between the stomach and first intestine opens and let pass into the duodenum such amount of the pulp as is prepared to receive in the duodenum the pancreatic juice and bile. The first intestine is but 12 inches in length, and here, as in the stomach, only preparation for digestion and assimilation goes on. The food pulp travels on through many feet of intestines, and is mostly assimilated by the labor of the mesenteric glands. Disease of the glands prevents assimilation, and the body wastes from want of nourishment; consumption of the bowels and wasting away of children are familiar examples of disease from this cause. The cause of the trouble is not in the bowels, but in the glands; therefore a cure can best be accomplished by sending medicine and oxygen into the glands. This has been done by many physicians employing the discovery. To their evidence I add one cure, sufficient to show the value of the treatment. Mr. Ashmead, the well-known banker, had suffered with disease of the mesentery for years. He had constant pain, was fearfully emaciated, there was nausea, vomiting and constipation; in short, as in most of these cases, he had exhausted medical skill, and was abandoned to die. The disks of the Generator were applied on each side of the abdomen, and medicine sent into the glands, with a large supply of Nature's only cure, oxygen. His improvement was rapid, and he soon recovered his health. So far as I know, no equally severe case has ever before been cured. Simon Bros. & Co.
I have used the battery in my family since its purchase in a variety
of diseases with such excellent success that I have not required the attendance
of a physician since its purchase. I loaned it to a friend in Wenonah,
N. J., who had partial paralysis. He soon began to improve and in a short
time he informed me that he was in good health. I also loaned the battery
to another friend who had rheumatism of the shoulder joint; he was unable
to raise his arm and objected to taking medicine by the stomach. He informed
me that the first application removed the pain and by its use he soon recovered.
I am thankful to you for the cure of my brother. I saw him today and he
looks well, and is entirely a different man. As you know, he had been a
sufferer for many years, employed a variety of physicians, but steadily
declined. His case was apparently complicated; he suffered from disease
of the bowels and lungs. In my opinion your treatment saved his life. Yours,
very truly,
Dear Doctor - When my husband began your treatment, we had no hopes
of his recovery. He had employed several physicians, who stated that he
had consumption of the bowels, and his lungs were diseased. His loss of
flesh was terrible, pain constant and very severe, could not sleep, cough
severe, had several hemorrhages. In a little time by the use of the battery
his improvement was surprising, and has steadily continued until he has
nearly or quite recovered.
The construction of the nerves is such that but few diseases originate
in the nerve substance. Even nerve pain is due to pressure upon a nerve;
this is exemplified in toothache; when the pressure is removed from the
nerve by extraction of the tooth, the pain at once ceases. This information
is important in the treatment of nervous diseases, because it has been
the custom to treat the substance of the nerves and not the surrounding
tissue, which, from disorganization or pressure, causes the disturbance.
is a marked example of the correctness of the previous statement. Here the posterior portion of the spinal cord becomes hardened, presses on the roots of the nerves of motion so as to make the movement of the limbs uncertain, as implied in the word ataxia. The prominent symptoms of this ailment are inability to walk with the eyes closed, or to stand with the toes brought together; pain extends from the back down the limbs. In time the hardening increases, when complete paralysis and death follow. It is considered by the profession an incurable disease; but by means of our discovery, by which ozone, oxygen and medicine are carried into the hardened and partially disorganized spinal cord, a great many cures have been effected. We have cured cases of from eight to ten years' standing; this, of course, requires a long time; fresh cases are cured in a brief period. The Generator should stand in very cold ice water, so as to give a good degree of force. The disks are to be applied on each side of the spine, usually between the hips and back, as this is the most frequent seat of the disease. Twenty drops of the "Locomotor Ataxia" medicine should be carried into the spine once or twice a day, never forgetting to continue the use of the battery for a full hour with wet sponges under the disks, that abundance of oxygen may enter the diseased tissues and restore them to health. As these cases are chronic, we prefer to send explicit directions to each patient, and have them write us from time to time that we may continue the treatment and give such advice to the patient as our experience affords. I earnestly desire you to read with care the evidence here offered, as it relates to the first and only cures of the same severity heretofore reported. 24 West Sixty-fourth St., New York.
Mrs. D. applied the treatment of sending medicine and oxygen into the
spinal cord, which relieved the pain at once, but I did not improve in
walking for several months, when I commenced walking better, and have continued
to improve until now I am nearly well. I will gladly answer any letters
of inquiry respecting the treatment in my own case, as I shall be only
too glad to make known to others having locomotor ataxia, the curative
effect of your treatment. Yours very
truly,
20 E. Seneca St.,
I spent six months in the Brooklyn Hospital, and some time in the Sanitarium
at Atlantic City. My health became seriously impaired, my weight was reduced
from 138 lbs. to 113. It was with the great difficulty that I could walk.
My gait was staggering, like similar cases of locomotor ataxia. I could
not stand if my eyes were closed. In this condition, on January 12, 1897,
I commenced the use of the Thermo-Ozone Battery by the recommendation of
E. J. Morgan, M. D., of Ithaca, N. Y.
A few days since this patient visited our office, stating that he had walked that morning 12 miles. He was apparently in good health, and scarcely any evidence of locomotor ataxia existed. He walked without staggering with his eyes blindfolded, and was able to swing his feet over the top of chairs without any inconvenience. Staffordshire, Eng., January 8, 1897.
I commenced the battery treatment in July, 1896. I was so nearly well
that I returned home in December, and have been improving ever since. As
I was unable to use my hand, the present writing will give you an idea
of my great improvement.

Geo. F. Jackson,
Last March or April, I commenced using your battery; it was some time
before I noticed any change. It came gradually. About a month or more ago,
I began to feel like a new creature. My lungs could expand to their utmost,
my steps became more elastic, and I could walk steadier and faster. I am
still on the upward grade, feeling I have a new lease on life; and all
this has been accomplished while laboring under no ordinary mental strain,
which would have a natural tendency to drag me lower down. Now I can walk,
run, jump, hit and throw my feet over the back of a chair, shut my eyes
and walk, or walk in the dark. And need I say if I could command language
that could explain fully the wonderful powers of your remarkable discovery,
I would gladly use it to let those in like hopeless condition know how
they can be cured.
As locomotor ataxia is recognized as a disease incurable by ordinary
medical treatment, we have devoted an unusual amount of space to prove
that by the means of our discovery it can be cured.
Possibly a better term would be brain fag, as this disease arises from a disturbance of the brain in the manner hereafter explained. I found while I was consulting physician to our Cincinnati Private Hospital for nervous disease, that a large percentage of insanity was produced by this form of disease. For this and other important reasons, I desire to make clear the cause of this terrible ailment. The brain is composed of a countless number of minute cells. In these cells thoughts and ideas originate. To enable the cells to perform their work, an arterial capillary is connected with each cell, and sends into it both oxygen and nourishment, and receives in their place the waste and decay produced by brain work. This vessel becomes a vein as seen as the nourishment and oxygen are discharged into the cell. The office of the vein is to remove the deposits of decay. When the brain is overworked the amount of decay is in excess of the capability of the vein to remove it, and nervous prostration is the result. It is so well known to the profession that stomach medication is of
no earthy value, that the unfortunate practice has been adopted of sending
these patients away from home to receive purchased attention and care.
Now for the first time the art of medicine offers a cure. By our discovery
oxygen is sent into these veins, reoxydizing the blood, removing deposits,
and rapidly restoring the patient to health.
is a symptom of this disease; the constant pressure against the nerve
cells by congested veins causes inability to sleep. Narcotics are but temporary
in their effect, and, as a whole, very harmful.
In insomnia, the disks should be applied to the ankle and the "Nervous"
medicine in severe cases used in 15 to 20 drop doses; this treatment may
be repeated every ten minutes if needed, but the cure is not accomplished
by the medicine, but by the use of Nature's only curative agent, oxygen.
As before stated, its cause is pressure upon the nerve; as in case of tic-doloreux, where there is thickening around the nerve below the ear, where the nerve comes from the brain. This pressure causes pain in the face. Always apply the positive disk over the seat of pain. For example, in
sciatica, apply the positive disk over the seat of pain, the negative a
few inches above. In tic-doloreux the negative disk should be applied just
below the ear over the nerve, and the positive on the face over the seat
of pain. The "Pain" remedy can be used in 15-drop doses in the manner before
described.
Pain in the head may be either reflex from the stomach, or may be due to a slight congestion of the veins of the brain, or to nervous irritation. The disks should be applied to the temples in the manner shown in fig. 12, and 15 drops of the "Pain" medicine used. [Fig. 12] In all nervous diseases watch carefully the effect of the force and
if any aggravations occur, use the water at a temperature of about 50 to
60 degrees. It must be understood that in every disease patients must exercise
their own judgment in regard to the higher or lower temperature of the
bath in which the Generator is immersed.
DISEASES PECULIAR TO CHILDREN. Scarlet fever, diphtheria, and other epidemics, are caused by disease-producing germs, which multiply with increased rapidity with the advent of every new case. It is important to those having care of children that they introduce ozone into their blood circulation whenever an epidemic commences, for the purpose of destroying the bacteria before they have accumulated in such numbers as to cause these fatal ailments. Supposing there is an epidemic of scarlet fever or diphtheria, the first cases are usually mild, but each succeeding case increases in severity. Parents will see the importance of destroying the disease-producing germs as soon as an epidemic makes its appearance. This end is secured by the use of the Thermo-Ozone Generator. If you ask your physician in regard to this treatment, he may reply, as thousands of members of the profession have done for centuries, that bacteria cannot be destroyed in the manner stated. But if you inquire of science, the answer is emphatic, that ozone is the only agent that can destroy disease-producing germs; and experience proves the truth of this statement. Prevention is accomplished by applying the disks to the child's ankle or wrist, with the sponges wet in salt water, for one-half hour every day until the epidemic passes over. If the disease has commenced, then use five drops of the "Fever" remedy on the tablet for ten minutes, to be followed by the use of the sponges. MEASLES requires no treatment, unless there is high fever and the eruption fails to appear. The excellent results obtained in the following cases furnish proof of the efficacy of this treatment in fevers. Nashville, Tenn., March 20, 1896.
We are all truly grateful to you for making this valuable discovery,
which undoubtedly has saved the lives of two of our children.
Athol, Mass., June 10, 1897.
I want to tell you of the good results we have obtained by its use in another case. My neighbor, Mr. Richardson, was unable to walk on account of paralysis. I think he bought a battery about two months since; he now walks to the barber shop. Mrs. Reynolds walks up the steps to her house. How is that? Before she used the battery she had to be carried. One of my daughters had German measles, and the doctor could not bring
out the eruption or control the fever. We applied the disks to the wrist
with sponges wet in salt water. The fever was soon reduced and the rash
appeared in a few hours. She recovered, and was in school some days before
a neighbor's child with measles was up. This is what your treatment does.
When I first commenced the practice of surgery, women were so rarely afflicted with diseases peculiar to their sex that no one had written a treatise upon the subject. At this early period, I removed an ovarian tumor without a knowledge of its character, for the reason that the subject was not understood. Soon after I devoted a section of my Lake Street Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, to the treatment of this class of ailments. And as I now contrast the few cases that then existed with the legion of such cases met with at the present time, I am compelled to believe (as women are much the same as they were fifty years ago) that something is wrong in medicine; for it is evident that 100 women are now undergoing medical treatment where formerly there was but one. In common with other physicians of long experience, I am certain that medical treatment as a whole, as now applied to these cases, is fruitful of harm. The treatment mostly consists of local applications, curetting, cauterizing and other severe treatment, which only gives temporary relief, and in a few months the patients are even in a worse condition than they were before they received treatment. It has become a common saying, and to a large extent is true, that women make doctors rich and their husbands poor by the expense of medical treatment. Diseases of the uterus can as well be diagnosed as diseases of other
organs, and are equally amenable to treatment without the necessity of
severe applications.
When the organ falls backwards, forward, or to either side, the displacement is due to an enlargement, and is produced by chronic inflammation of the inner membrane of the organ. Reduce this bulk and weight, and the ligaments will restore the uterus to its natural position. This reduction can readily be accomplished as shown in fig. 13, by transmitting appropriate remedies into the substance of the womb; this, together with the effect of the force developed by the Generator, removes disease deposits in a more rapid manner than any treatment heretofore known. [Fig. 13] The treatment is simple and can be applied by any patient, and when a cure is accomplished it is permanent. The disks of the Generator should be applied two or three times a week
with the medicine furnished in the family case for this purpose; or a physician's
prescription may be used. Whenever neuralgia occurs then 15 drops of the
"Pain" remedy should be used on the tablet. Oxygen is very useful in reducing
these enlargements and controlling the inflammation, for the reason that
no other organ of the body has such a large amount of venous circulation.
This is usually due to a chronic inflammation of the ovaries, fallopian tubes or uterus, which constricts the diameter of the tube and causes pain in the transit of the ovum from the ovary to the uterus. In some cases the pain is produced by a thickening and enlargement of the ovaries. I know of no other treatment which can remove the cause of this trouble but that of sending oxygen and medicine into the inflamed tissues. To do this, put the Generator in ice water, place the positive disk over the seat of pain and the negative over the opposite ovary. The application should be made twice a week until three days before the menstrual period occurs, then it should be applied twice a day. As soon as the colic occurs use the "Pain" remedy with the Generator every hour until the pain subsides. One or two applications are usually sufficient for this purpose. From the numerous cases we have cured, we are warranted in stating that
the treatment is eminently successful in nearly every case.
as the term implies, is a white discharge from the uterus. This discharge is the product of a catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane of the organ. Care is necessary in many cases not to arrest the discharge too suddenly, otherwise the organ will become enlarged. Apply the Generator as shown in fig. 13, using
20 drops of a prescription composed of Pinus Canadensis, 1 oz.; Iodide
Potassium, 20 grs.; dissolved in 1 oz of water. In chronic cases, where
the discharge is profuse and offensive, we use a uterine bougie, to which
is attached the positive pole of the Generator, and the medicine is carried
directly into the mucous membrane of the organ. As these cases are always
chronic, it is best that we send the treatment and applications with the
Generator, and thereafter direct the treatment according to information
obtained from the patient.
is a growth which occurs within the walls of the uterus, or upon its external or internal surface. The art of medicine offers no relief. Surgery demands a removal of the uterus and ovaries. The operation is exceedingly dangerous. Unless other surgeons have operated with far more skill than I possess, the average mortality would not be less than 70 per cent. I am inclined to the opinion that the remarkable cures reported to have been effected by surgical means are similar in value to the reports of fortunes made by dealing in stocks; when one man is successful it is generally known, but the hundreds who lose are never heard from. It is impossible to express in words the profound gratitude and pleasure I have enjoyed in observing removal of fibroid tumors by the introduction of oxygen and appropriate remedies into these growths. Read with care the report of the following cures, and then if the treatment is to be adopted let the party give me a detailed statement of her symptoms, and I will send a prescription with the Generator.

I have used Dr. Morgan's prescription with the battery for my nervousness, and it has entirely relieved it. My sister had an abscess in the right ovary, since then she has had
an ovarian tumor. Dr. Morgan applied the battery with medicine, and it
has reduced the size of the growth very much in a short time.
Onondaga, N. Y., May 21, 1897.
On February 3, 1897, Mrs. _____ of Newark, N. J., visited our office, stating that she was suffering from a fibroid tumor, and had recently been examined by Dr. Bull and other distinguished surgeons, who diagnosed her case as one of fibro-cystic tumor, and informed her that a removal by the knife was necessary to preserve her life. On examination we found the tumor was of large size, and directed the application of the battery to each side of the growth with medicine to be sent into it. On March 3, she called, and made the following statement: "Previous to employing the battery treatment, I suffered severe pain in the left and lower part of the abdomen, often as violent as toothache; the entire abdomen was sore to the least pressure and produced intolerable pain. My abdomen was very much enlarged, and it was only with difficulty that I could walk. Going upstairs distressed me. Since employing the treatment the pain and soreness has been entirely removed. My bowels, which were obstinately constipated, have become regular. My abdomen is reduced in size so I can walk with ease." We re-examined this patient, found little or no enlargement of the abdomen, and the large tumor was reduced to about the size of a walnut. In the summer of 1893, Dr. D. H. Beckwith of Cleveland, O., wrote me that the wife of Professor Potwin of the Adelbert College had an ovarian tumor, and ordered a battery. The following letter shows results of the treatment.
