Death in the
Telephone
The Scientific American


phone is said to be alive with bacteria
or disease germs, too minute to be seen
with the naked eye.
Already the company have taken
down their notice to keep the lips close

Germicides intended to abate this nui-
sance have been patented, and will soon
be in general use. There is no question

eases may be curtailed by observing
sanitary rules.
The telephone is a marvel of human
discovery which cannot be dispensed
with, and reliable protector will be
gladly received
NEW YORK
The Scientific American makes some
| startling announcements regarding a
recently discovered telephone and tele-
graph combined, which, when properly
understood, will revolutionize business
in general
Infinitely above the expert electri-
clans of the present age, the Great Elec-
trician of the Universe long ago placed
plant of electric nerves within every
human being, which, if unobstructed in
their action, is all that is necessary to
produce physical and mental health.
| Converging to mechanical centers
where the calls of nature impel action,
this governing power of the body may
be employed to telegraph the message
OF health to any member, as suggested
in the Scientific American to resusci-
tate from electric shock or drowning.
This new remedy, as by magic, induces
general activity of the entire system,
and vigorous circulation of the blood.
whether this central organ is known to
be out of order or not
The Scientific American is a leader of
science, and no greater boon could be
left to humanity than this ever-ready.
safe and sure remedy, which may be
applied for any pain or sickness, with
magical results.
The directions are very simple and
have performed startling cures of pa
| ralysis, rheumatism and most diseases
known to the human family, all of which
are found to be only paralysis or mac
tion, when freedom of this self-regulat-
ing mechanism is all that is required.
This new remedy is nothing less than
was used by the ancients, who lived to
great age. No drug store or medicine
man ever invaded their territory. After
a lengthy explanation of various pro-
cedure, which by the context is admitted
to be worthless. the following explicit
directions are given:
"Should all of these efforts fail To
elicit any response or arouse any signs
OF life, recourse may be had to another
method of exciting the dormant nerve
centers. We refer to forcible dilation
of the sphincter controlling the lower
bowel. Using the fingers the organ will
be found to contract If life is present"
LOS ANGELES.
without claiming to do more than the
natural fingers, which are sufficient to
convince any reasonable person, we
manufacture a more convenient dilator
for self-use, costing but So. 1t is COM
posed of expanding metallic fingers, and
can be adjusted without employing an
assistant. Instantly the blood is set in
motion, performing it's natural func-
tions with either sex. AS a destroyer of
| pain of any name or nature it exceeds
| all else combined. Being woman's first
success 1t meets with a ready sale and
is widely known as the Missing Link
of Health" Even the human fingers are
better than an army of doctors, and

long neglect, thus requiring more power
| The Scientific American of November
8, 1894, gives credit to the Electrical
World of September s, 1894, and printed
| instructions are in most electrical offices
in the United States, but Los Angeles
and other papers have recently printed
it, giving French authority and leaving
out all that is of Importance to anybody.

| When Vanderbilt and the nu-
merous host of paralyzed suf-
ferers shall know Of this
speedy cure, and all other sufferers of
any disease shall know that disease in
general is simply inaction Of various
parts. professional poisoners will be out
of job, and, as of old, ONE disease and
ONE remedy will be seen as the purest
science, and this ONE simple remedy
of all natural tribes adopted by civiliza-
ton render health spontaneous.
DENVER, COLORADO.
In proof of it's value in any emergency
a well known Los Angeles business man
gives the following:
While living in Denver customer was
suddenly attacked with asthma of vio-
lent nature. Fearing fatal results a car
riage and doctor were ordered. Having
heard that dilation was general cure
all, he made use Of the fingers for that
| purpose, when upon arrival of the
physician few minutes later, there was
no use Of his services.
ROCHESTER,. NEW YORK.
A late arrival from Rochester, N. T.,
brings a noble lesson for his brother
physicians from the noted DR.. Lee of
that city.
A man of low vitality had suffered am
putation of malignant sore toe. Not
only did 1t refuse to heal, but a toe on the
