MANN's REACTlONARY LITTER.

curious but simple invention may be
seen at the Office Of the County Treasurer,
called by the above name. Great medi-
cal and invigorating results are claimed
for the system of cumulative exercise,
which was brought into prominent no.
tice by DR.. Winship. The Reactionary
Litter is designed for use in the system
of cumulative exercise, which, under the
name OF the Lifting Cure, or Health Lift,
has been found 50 valuable as means
of restoring and preserving health. The
exercise occupies only ten minutes, once
a day, secures safer and more thorough
action of the muscles than any other
mode, and, by equalizins and improving
the circulation of the blood, relieves dis
eases arising from congestion or inaetion
of the various vital organs. 1t is warmly
approved by leading physicians and sur
geons, who daily recommend and pre-
scribe it for patients suffering from want
of tone and vigor, or from dyspepsia and
other forms OF Indigestion, or from va
rious diseases of the nervous system, or
from the class of ailments caused by tor
por or congestion of the liver. Its wide
applicability and usefulness are due to
its effect on the circulation OF the blood.
Sedentary habits and over-use of the
brain, or the general nervous system,
produce irregular or imperfect circula-
ton, which causes loss OF tone and vital
ity in those parts OF the body where the
circulation is deficient, with correspond
ing fullness or plethora in other parts.
Concerning the system Horace Greeley
said: Thousands of our sedentary
workers with brain and quill might try
the lifting cure with lasting profit. "
Henry Ward Beecher commends 1t to
'all persons whose avocations severely
tax the brain, and to all whose nervous
system is run down. 1t gives thorough
exercise with little fatigue, and with but
little loss Of time. Concerning the
wonderful sef-lifting machine, which
may be seen at the Treasurer's Office,
Henry c. Bowen, editor OF The Iude-
pendent, says: 90 1t is so constructed that
the most feeble persons can use it with
entire safety, and it can be used by ladies
IN company with gentlemen without any
change of dress" r. II. Lowry, Presi-
dent of the Bank Of the Republic, says:
II have used the Reactionary Litter over
three months. The result is that
my health and strength are greatly reno
waited. l cheerfully recommend
the instrument to all who, like myself,
lead a sedentary life" Among the reg
ular "llfters" at the Treasures office
are Judge Fuller and Father Monteverde,
who are warm in its commentator. A
light lift is first taken; then, after q min
ute's interval, one quarter Of the first
weight is added; then a rest of two min
utes, when two quarters more of the
original weight is added; then three min
ntes' rest, after which the maximum
lift" is taken. The litter literally
raises himself by the side handles. The
machine is a mechanical marvel, and the
exercise rouses and energies equally
every muscle in the body. We notice
that the New York Nation-the best OF
authority-says that the excellence OF
the exercise has not been overstated by
any patron; and Mark Twain and Joe
Jefferson give their quantity worded, but
unqualified word of commentator.
