Show Beat Fatigue With Oxygen Few Whiffs of Ozone Perk Up Mind, Body PITTSBURGH, PA. Tired housewives, house-wives, fainting women and overworked over-worked businessmen have been offered of-fered new hope through experiments experi-ments conducted by two local basketball bas-ketball teams. The experiments seemed to indicate indi-cate that a few whiffs of pure oxygen oxy-gen from a portable container will stop that breathless feeling and perk up both mind and muscle. The basketball teams, threatened with "slumps" from overwork, bought oxygen dispensers, used them during games and walked off with just about all the honors in western Pennsylvania. Homestead high, trailing the Al- toona (Pa.) team 15 to 8 in the first quarter, hauled its first stringers out of the game and made them take a few pulls at the machine. At the half, Homestead led, 27 to 19, and the "oxygen eaters" eat-ers" won the game going away, 60 to 44. In another case, a woman slipped on a freshly waxed floor and cracked her head against a wall. A few whiffs of oxygen revived her faster than smelling salts could have and she felt no headache from, the concussion only a sore spot on her scalp where her head hit the wall. During the war the air force discovered dis-covered that oxygen had almost magical powers. Although the practice prac-tice wasn't authorized by higher-ups, higher-ups, fliers Inhaled pure oxygen to cure "hangovers." |
