ton with massage is already known. and
now an inventor comes forward with an
apparatus by which the scalp can be
treated with electricity TO increase the
growth of the hair, and incidentally Kill
disease germs which may find lodSment
there. To operate the device the person
to be treated sits in the chair and places
his hands on the plates on the chair

brushes in his hands and applies them to
The head, thus completing the' circuit and
passing the current through the scalp as
the brushes are moved about. The cur
