TWO MONTHS $500.

AS q curative agent, the Elec-

kinds of ailments and many cases
where all else fails. Don't miss
this opportunity-you can't afford
to. We have a limited number of
instruments direct from the lab
ra:ory that we will rent for the
nominal price of $500, for two
months. This is done partly as
an advertisement, as we know
from experience that nearly every
one thus put out will sell others.
Then we realize that many people
are unable at this time to pay full
amount for an instrument. Part
of the rental price will be credited
on account, should you purchase
at expiration of rental time.
Special rates to clubs of five or
more. To avail yourself of this
opportunity you must order at
once. This offer has never been
made before, and positively will
not continue but short while.
