AIM AND WORK.

To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the Freedmen for their duties as citizens and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted Chinese in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian policy toward the Indians.

WANTS.

1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing work. This increase can only be reached by regular and larger contributions from the churches, the feeble as well as the strong.

2. Additional Buildings for our higher educational institutions, to accommodate the increasing numbers of students; Meeting Houses for the new churches we are organizing; more Ministers, cultured and pious, for these churches.

3. Help for Young Men, to be educated as minsters here and missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL

IN MEDICAL HISTORY.

The remarkable results which have attended the administration of Compound Oxygen, the new remedy for chronic and so-called “incurable diseases,” are without a parallel in medical history.

As dispensers of this new remedy, we have, after over twelve years of earnest, untiring and costly effort to introduce it to those who need its vitalizing and health-restoring influences, succeeded in resting its claims on the basis of facts and results of so wide and universal a character—facts and results on record and open to the closest investigations—that no room for a question remains as to its marvelous action in restoring the diseased to health.

The rapidly-increasing number of those who have obtained relief from pain or been restored to health by Compound Oxygen, reaching now to many thousands, scattered throughout the whole country, is having a wide influence on public sentiment. There are no arguments so convincing as well-known facts. If a man or a woman who has been suffering for years from an exhausting disease, which no physician had been able to cure, tries a newly-discovered remedy and is brought back to health, the fact stands as an unanswerable argument in favor of that remedy, so far, at least, as this particular case is concerned. A resort to the same remedy in another case, regarded as incurable, and with a like result, adds a new and stronger argument in its favor. Accumulate similar results to the number of hundreds and thousands, and in the widest range of chronic and “desperate” diseases and abandoned cases, and you have a weight of evidence that is irresistible. On this weight of indisputable evidence we rest the claims of Compound Oxygen.

It is frequently urged against this treatment by persons who have not made themselves acquainted with the natural laws governing its action, that the same agent is administered for all diseases—for neuralgia or catarrh; for rheumatism or consumption; for heart disease or bronchitis; that we offer it as a universal specific. In our Treatise on Compound Oxygen, which will be mailed free to any one who will write to us for it, we have fully explained the nature and action of this remedy, and shown that it is not specific to any disease or class of diseases; but that it acts directly upon the nervous system and vital organs, and thence universally in the whole body. It gives new force and a more vigorous action to all the life-centres, thus restoring to nature the dominant power and healthy action which had been lost. This being the case, no matter what the disease, or where located, it must be gradually ameliorated, and, if the central healthy action can be maintained, finally cured. Every intelligent and unprejudiced person will at once see that if the law of action which we claim for Compound Oxygen be the true one, its operation must be universal, and not local or specific; and that all forms of disease may be reached by this agent. And the fact that they are reached, and in so large a number of cases relieved, verifies the theory of cure and substantiates the claims which are made for this new substance as being the most remarkable in its action of any therapeutic agent yet discovered.

If we contrast the violence which is so often done to the delicate organisms of the human body through the administration of drugs, given to break the force of a disease, and which sometimes keep the patient lingering for months in slow convalescence, needing all the while the physician’s care, with the revitalized condition of compound oxygen patients, the advantage on the side of the latter, as compared with those treated under most of the prevailing systems, becomes strikingly apparent. Under the new treatment, which is by inhalation, there is no weakening of the tone of the stomach by drugs, and no violent assaults upon any nerve or fibre in the body, but a gentle and subtly penetrating influence, reaching to the very centre of all the life forces, and restoring them to a healthier action. The natural result under this treatment must be that, when a patient recovers he is in a far better condition to resist the causes which produce disease than the patient who has had the life forces weakened through drug medication.

As a restorer of vital force, it can be largely shown from the results obtained during the past twelve years, that Compound Oxygen is the most efficient agent yet discovered by the medical profession. Its use by over-worked business and professional men, and by all who suffer from nervous exhaustion and low vitality, would save many hundreds of lives every year and give to thousands more the ability to work without the weariness, exhaustion and peril which now attend their labors.

Our large correspondence with patients and health-seekers, throughout this and other countries, gives evidence of the increasing confidence which is steadily growing in the public mind favorable to the Oxygen cure. The living witnesses to its remarkable efficacy, and the warm advocates of its dispensation are, as we have said, rapidly increasing. By personal influence and correspondence, those who have been relieved from distressing complaints, or cured of diseases which were steadily growing worse for years, are sending the good news of their recovery to friends and neighbors, near and remote. Many of these order the Treatment, and if helped or cured, as rarely fails to be the case, become in turn the friends and advocates of this new method of cure. So the knowledge is spreading, and the use of Compound Oxygen growing, with a rapidity of which few outside of our establishment have any comprehension.

To those who wish to inform themselves in regard to this new Treatment, we will send, free of cost, our “Treatise on Compound Oxygen,” and our pamphlet, containing over fifty “Unsolicited Testimonials;” also “Health and Life,” our Quarterly Record of Cases and Cures, under the Compound Oxygen Treatment, in which will be found, as reported by patients themselves, and open for verification, more remarkable results in a single period of three months than all the medical journals in the United States can show in a year!

ON THE DESERT.

With a Brief Review of Recent Events in Egypt. By Rev. Henry M. Field, D.D., author of “From the Lakes of Killarney to the Golden Horn,” and “From Egypt to Japan.” 1 vol. crown 8vo, with a map, $2.

From Rev. William M. Taylor, D.D.

I was so interested in its perusal that it was with difficulty that I could persuade myself to lay it down. I find it more interesting than a novel, and full, besides, of valuable information, sound reflection and clear thinking. The descriptions enable one to see for himself the objects on which the writer looked. Nor must I forget to add that every now and then a delightful humor bubbles up in these pages, which adds immensely to the charm of a very charming book.

Newman Smyth’s Reply to Joseph Cook.

DORNER ON THE FUTURE STATE.

Being a Translation of the Section of his System of Christian Doctrine, comprising the Doctrine of the Last Things. With an introduction and notes. By Newman Smyth, D.D., author of “Old Faiths in New Light,” “The Orthodox Theology of To-day,” etc. 1 vol. 12mo, $1.

“The present book contains most of the distinctive views by which Dorner is best known. It is an attempt in plain words to bring the doctrine of Christian eschatology into harmony with the best knowledge and the best thought of the age.”

RECOLLECTIONS OF ARTHUR PENRHYN STANLEY, late Dean of Westminster.

By George Granville Bradley, D.D., Dean of Westminster, Honorary Fellow of University College, Oxford. 1 vol. 12mo, $1.

“It is an affectionate and graceful biographical memorial of a man whose scholarship and intellectual force were partly concealed by the fineness of his nature, the sweetness and delicacy of his spirit and modest beauty of his bearing. The story of his life has been fittingly told, and will be gratefully read by his numerous American admirers.”—Christian at Work.

MORAVIAN MISSIONS.

By Rev. A. C. Thompson, D.D. 1 vol. 12mo, $2.

“One striking peculiarity of these lectures is that they condense into the smallest compass a vast amount of intricate matters and widely scattered particulars, gathered from sources out of the way of ordinary students and unknown to ordinary readers, and present this great variety of facts of geography, history, ethnology and biography in such a way that there is not only no confusion or heaviness, but a certain brightness and vivacity which makes the narrative fairly fascinating.”

CRITERIA OF DIVERSE KINDS OF TRUTH.

As opposed to Agnosticism. Being a Treatise on Applied Logic. (Philosophic Series No. 1.) Energy, Efficient and Final Cause. (Philosophic Series No. 2.) By James McCosh, D.D. LL.D., D.L. Author of “Intuitions of the Mind,” “Laws of Discursive Thought,” etc. Each 1 vol., paper, 50 cents.

“It is not unlikely to prove true in the end that the most useful popular service which Dr. McCosh has rendered to the cause of right thinking and to a sound philosophy of life is his proposed Philosophic Series, the first number of which, Criteria of Diverse Kinds of Truth as Opposed to Agnosticism, we have perused with great satisfaction.”—The Independent.

FINAL CAUSES.

By Paul Janet, Member of the French Academy. Translated from the Second French Edition. With a Preface by Robert Flint, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol. 8vo, $2.50.

“No book of greater importance in the realm of theological philosophy has appeared during the past twenty years than Paul Janet’s ‘Final Causes.’ The central idea of the work is one which the whole course of scientific discussion has made the burning question of the day, viz.: that final causes are not inconsistent with physical causation.”—Independent.

THE BEGINNINGS OF HISTORY,

According to the Bible and the Traditions of Oriental Peoples. From the Creation of Man to the Deluge. By François Lenormant, Professor of Archæology at the National Library of France, etc., etc. (Translated from the Second French Edition.) With an introduction by Francis Brown, Assistant Professor in Biblical Philology, Union Theological Seminary. 1 vol. 12mo, 750 pp., $2.50.

“The work is one that deserves to be studied by all students of ancient history, and in particular by ministers of the gospel, whose office requires them to interpret the Scriptures, and who ought not to be ignorant of the latest and most interesting contribution of science to the elucidation to the sacred volume.”—New York Tribune.

THE RELIGIONS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD,

Including Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, Persia, India, Phœnicia, Etruria, Greece, Rome. By George Rawlinson, M.A., author of “The Origin of Nations,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.

“The historical studies which have elevated this author’s works to the highest position have made him familiar with those beliefs which once directed the world’s thought; and he has done literature no better service than in this little volume.... The book is, then, to be accepted as a sketch, and as the most trustworthy sketch in our language, of the religions discussed.”—N.Y. Christian Advocate.

SCIENCE AND SENTIMENT.

Essays, chiefly Philosophical. By Noah Porter, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol., crown 8vo., $2.50

“President Porter is at his best in some of these papers. An incisive wit runs through them, and all are marked by that power of clear definition and of vigorous statement coupled with fairness and frankness in treating the arguments of opponents so apparent in all his writings.”—Zion’s Herald.

LOGIC AND LIFE.

With other Sermons. By Rev. H. S. Holland, M.A., Senior Student of Christ Church, Oxford. With an Introductory Notice by President Noah Porter. 1 vol. 8vo, $1.50.

“They are in the truest sense scholarly ... yet there is about them, as Dr. Porter expresses it, very little of the stiffness, the formality or the remoteness from human sympathies and associations which often, not to say usually, characterize ‘University Sermons.’ Ministers will find them a rare and valuable addition to the library.”—The Examiner.

TURKISH LIFE IN WAR TIME.

By Henry O. Dwight. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

“This book is the most vivid and faithful sketch of Turkish character that we have ever seen.... It is mainly a series of interesting notes and sketches, giving those little details of life and thought from day to day, in a time of great excitement, which are so essential in order to gain an accurate knowledge of any people.”—The Nation.
