MYSTIFIES AND CURES

A reporter for The Evening Citi-
zen spent a very interesting hall u
Yesterday afternoon with DR.. f. b
Romero, of the N. t. Armi1o build
ing. and his electrical machines. Inc
doctors office is a veritable palace OF
electrical appliances. On every size
of it are peculiar looking apparatus
with a lot of brass sticking out on
them. One can take a bath in DR..
Romero's office without going to the
inconvenience of removing the clothes.
There is no danger of taking cold
while taking the bath that DIR. Ro-
nero gives. 1t doesn't remove the
dirt, but It will the dandruf, and
give the disease germs a ducking that
is O entirely healthy to them.
The first thing of interest that DIT.
Romero introduced the reporter 10
was this bath. A nickel. apparatus,
with a brass crow dangling from II
by a brass chain, was placed beside
the twenty-four plate static machine,
which occupied about o%ne-fourth OF
the large room. Beneath the crown
the doctor placed a square table
about six inches high. and on the Ia
BILE he placed a small square copper
plate. On this plate he laid one END
of a brass rod four feet loIg. One
end of the rcd had a hook On 1t, and
this hook the doctor placed over a
horizontal bar on the big electrical
machine. The reporter was instruct
ed to seat himself upon a chair
placed on the table. Then the doctor
turned on the juice. 1t was a pc
culiar but not unpleasant sensation
that followed. There was a feeling
like the roots of the hair were being
tickled.. The head itched to the eX
tent of wanting to be scratched, and
the prettiest pink light shot out o.
the reporters left big toe, the one
next TO the little square copper plate
On moving the right foot next to tn,
copper, the light transferred to II, bu
there was no feeling except the itch
ing OF the hair roots.
The doctor explained that the elet
trical bath has no special virtue, bu
the strengthening Of the nerves an
tissues. However, 1t vas rattle
pleasant to take.
