MODERN SCIENCE

Within the last century science has
made wonderful strides toward i'm
proving and strengthening the physi-
cal and mental conditions of man.
With this end in view mechanical de-
vices of all descriptions have been and
are being tried. Among them we find
that the mechanical vibrator has
gained a very strong hold for the bene-
fits already derived from its us s.
The vibrator is great assistant to
nature. When the individual does not
get the proper amount of daily exer-
else the portable vibrator, which can
be attached to any electric light, will
furnish you artificial exercise by the
simple passing of the applieator (of
which every vibrator has several for
different uses) over the body.
By this means you cause the blood
to circulate freely and increase the red
corpuscles which are lost through lack
of exercise. Especially is the vibrator
found beneficial in cases of bronchial
or lung trouble as it aids nature so
materially by improving the general
vitality.
A number of cases of rheumatism
have come before the notice Of the
writer where the afflicted one has re-
covered from this distressing aiment
through the use of the vibrator.
Sometimes the patient will receive
immediate relief and again there may
be need of course of treatments be-
fore any beneficial results are notice.
able.
All this depends upon the general
habits and health of the patient also
whether the case is of acute or chronic
nature. But even if no apparent i'm
mediate result is noticeable, the work
of nature is being assisted and by pur-
suing the treatment faithfully very
much will be accomplished.
There are many vibrators on the
market; some are good and some are
absolutely worthless To obtain good
instrument it would be best policy to
purchase it from some reliable agency
(almost all reputable manufacturers
have one in every large city,, which is
willing to guarantee it's vibrltors; or
you might purchase the machine from
some reliable drug or surgical house.
Up-to-date druggists appreciate the
demand for vibrators and will be abe
to furnish you a good article.
The vibrator is of inestimable value
in every home and it will easily pay
you to purchase one of these. Many
times by having one of these instru-
ments close at hand you can prevent
the development of some very distress
ing ailment.
The vibrator will overcome many of
the abuses which we practice upon our
selves daily.
Massage is not new method of cur
ing diseases; indeed, it h Teen prac-
ticed for at least 2500 years. Homer
in his Odyssey, written 1000 B. c.,
notes that "anointing and rubbing were
used for their invigorating effects" "
Hippocrates found that rubbing can
bind a joint that is loose or loosen one
that is too rigid" We all know how a
headache is soothed by rubbing the
head, or a sprained limb is cured by
rubbing the parts affected.
Everyone knows of the benefits de-
rived from hand massage, Swedish
movements and osteopathy. Vibratory
massage combines in itself all the ben
efits of these three remedies, yet 1t is
not limited TO their usefulness. The
rapid movements of vibratory massage
have a peculiar blood circulating ami
nerve stimulating effect obtainab'e By
absolutely no other means.
The results of the proper use of the
massage vibrator at home are iden-
tically the same as are obtained at all
the leading sanitariums, health resorts
and hospitals by massage, and where
you have to pay an exorbitant price
for the treatments.
