The "Geyser" Hot Appliance.

The method of applying the remedy
is as great question as the remedy
itself. From olden time and found in
use among the savage tribes of today,
the remedial use of the hot and cold ap-
plication has been known; but it has
remained for the science of the civil
lied community, with constantly ad-
vancing skill to make this use of the
hot application almost a panacea by the
Improvement in the method of applica-
ton. The defects have been in the ex-
posure and the possible chill in the
change of the poultice or cloths, in the
lessening temperature of the applica-
ton, in the inability to increase by de-
gree the temperature. In the failure
to apply remedial cloths to the exact
locality of pain, and in many other diff
ficulties that in the sick room become
fatal defects. In the many efforts to
overcome these defects, success has not
been reached, except by the (Geyser)
Hot Appliance with its varied adaptions
that enable the application to be made
directly to the effected part, and then
permit the heat to be increased as de-
sired, and maintained at the desired
temperature. This is accomplished
without any disturbance of the patient,
and without any exposure to possible
chill. The Geyser is so arranged that
the remedial application may be pre-
pared almost Immediately and with the
utmost simplicity and economy, 1t
may be compared to the patent fire ex-
tinguisher that is kept on hand, always
ready for instant use ana to put out
the kindling fire, that pending the
alarm and the arrival of the fire engines,
may become the costly confagration,
destroying with fame and food the
whole house. The U. S. Health report,
has rarely had the pleasure of com
mending an article more exactly adapt
ed to the emergencies of home life. Iti
compactness and simplicity make it evel
ready as we'll as the efficient helper by
day or night. The adaptations tina
