What Prominent Physicians Say About Vibratory Massage Electro-vibratory massage causes absorption by contracting and dilating the capillaries and equalizing the circulation.—Kellogg. Vibratory massage reduces inflammation, stimulates muscles, re- moves pain, relieves congestion, and relieves a congested area and starts a general circulation.—Butler, “Internal Medicine.” It is recognized by the medical profession at large that pressure and massage causes absorption.—Osier. In chronic constipation vibratory massage produces stools in from three to five minutes when used over the ascending transverse colons.— Mathews. By vibratory massage the number of pulse beats may be regulated, the effect may be permanent, after several treatments the rhythm of the heart may be influenced; there is increase of diuresis and diminution of Dyspnoea.—Journal Amer. Med. Assn., Nov. 1905. Electro-vibratory massage produces at once the warm, prickling, burn- ing sensation, and the reaction is always pleasant and agreeable.—Herdman. Take care of your skin. Massage is a wonderful help.—Prof. Hindhedc. Vibration or mechanical massage, as a placebo, is very good; as a stimulant in general I consider it good. The pneumatic Vibration of the tympanic membrane has restored good hearing to myself and many others. —“Massage in Trauma,” by Ferd. Engelbrectson. It is safe to> say that at least 95 per cent of cases of constipation, whether they be chronic or acute, will be greatly benefited by vibratory stimulation.—Benjamin Huston Brozvn. The circulation in relation to mechanical vibration includes the ef- fects upon the heart, arteries, blood, veins and capillaries.—M. L. H. Arnold Snow.

Preface In this hustling, bustling age men and women are expected to ac- complish things. To do this, we must be alert every minute—all our senses must be constantly keyed to the highest pitch or we fall behind— we lose out in the race of life. And yet, no sooner do we attain this pitch than something goes wrong—our power to successfully complete the 'things expected of us vanishes—we are no longer able to cope with the world in our usual way. We feel a sense of weakness—the procession passes by. Do you know what is responsible for this, condition? Simply your health of mind and body. To have perfect health you must have perfect circulation. The blood is the great purifier of the human system, and if you allow your system to become so clogged that the blood is unable to properly do its intended work, general bad health is the result. Good health is priceless in its value to us all and yet how little is it appreciated and how little is generally known concerning the easy, prac- tical, natural way to retain our good health, or this same common sense way which may be employed as a means of restoring it. One word—VIBRATION—is the secret. Vibration is a form of massage. Practically everyone realizes the value of hand massage—the rubbing and kneading of a part of the body produces friction—and this friction affords relief by creating a better circu- lation at that part. The blood washes away the things which cause the pain. With us, however, Vibration means considerably more than hand massage—or the action of hand massage. Mechanical Vibration and its practical uses and results cannot be compared with manual or hand massage. You would not think for an instant of attempting to compare the old-fashioned candle light of one hundred years ago with the electric light of today—and yet there is a far greater percentage of difference between the results obtained from me- chanical vibration and manual methods than between the lighting effects of years past and now. You should be vitally interested in Vibration. This great health building force can be so easily applied in your own case for betterment of health or beauty that you ought to know just how you can use it. Page Five LINDSTRQM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The purpose of this booklet is to tell you just how to use Vibration to benefit yourself, to tell you why this force helps in turning back the years and why you should begin just as soon as you can to take advantage of this natural power. Physical beauty is woman’s greatest desire. It is her birthright. What can be more painful to a woman than the realization that she lacks that natural beauty of the majority of her sex? Whether you are in search of health or beauty Vibration can and will aid you in obtaining them. In the following pages we explain to you how vibration can benefit you—just how it can benefit every member of the family. Vibration is the greatest discovery of the age. It is one of the greatest things in the universe. The results obtained from its use are marvelous. Health, beauty, and happiness depend to a great extent upon it. Bear in mind that it is one natural way to health and beauty, that it has the highest endorsement from the most eminent men of the medical profession and that it is being extensively used in the leading Hospitals nnd Sanitariums throughout the world. Page Six LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Circulation Perfect circulation means perfect health-—a fact admitted by all med- ical men. Therefore, could we always have perfect circulation we would always be in perfect health. But the question of perfect circulation involves a great deal in one way—and in another it is exceedingly simple. The Work of the Heart Taking the heart as the powerful working engine of our body—and we know this to be the case from the most eminent medical authorities— we learn that the heart is supposed to keep constantly pumping the blood throughout the body. And this blood is the great purifier of the human system. It is forced through and into thousands of blood vessels reaching to every organ and to every part of the body. The little red and white corpuscles that the blood contains are the vigilant workmen that tear down the waste tissue and build up new, which we must have in order to keep in perfect health. Nov/, if you have gradually allowed your system to become run-down and debili- tated you will find the veins and capillaries (the smallest arteries through which the blood flows) are so clogged that the blood cannot pass through freely. That is the start of the trouble and unless proper measures to overcome this condition are immediately used it is but the beginning of a siege that will terminate in a severe breakdown; some serious illness and ulti- mately death. The blood must be kept on the go through the body—and the arteries, veins and capillaries must be kept free from clogging. If they are not the blood is unable to properly do its duty. It cannot get to the vital parts that demand attention. Eliminating the Waste If this waste matter is permitted to remain in the blood, poisons, germs and gases are bound to collect and these make for poor health. They make it impossible for you to be one hundred per cent efficient. They account for that tired, listless feeling that you so frequently experi- ence. The racking headaches—the exhausting backaches; come from these conditions. Your spirits become low. Your ambition falls to zero. You feel utterly worn out—and can you expect, feeling as you do, to efficiently meet the demands of this modern everyday life? Vibration Promotes Circulation Page Seven LINDSTROM, SrtITH CO. CHICAGO. By eliminating the waste you will solve the problem. No more posi- tive method can be found for eliminating this waste than Mechanical Vibration. It makes an accumulation of waste impossible for it causes perfect circulation. The blood is made pure and to flow through every part of the body freely. It is enabled to do the work that nature intended it should do. Necessity of Vibration Mechanical Vibration is a massage of the flesh, tissues, muscles and nerves. There are countless numbers of these vibrations every second—• and each of these vibration instills new life and vigor into the body. Mechanical Vibration is the scientifical way of keeping the blood con- stantly coursing through your veins. By means of it the clogged up veins and tiny capillaries are easily rid of their waste. Understand that every time we move a muscle some portion of the tissue is broken down. This is what causes the continual waste. This waste gradually accumu- lates and it makes no difference how much care we take of ourselves, how regularly we eat our meals, or with what care we select our food, our sedentary life makes it impossible for the system to completely cleanse itself of this waste matter. Therefore, the necessity of Mechanical Vibra- tory stimulation. Perfect Circulation Means Perfect Health Page Eight LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Circulation and Vibration The primary action of Vibration is to stimulate the circulation. It sends the red blood coursing through every artery and capillary, sweeping away the poison which causes all the aches and pains. It quiets all the aching, throbbing nerves and aids nature in her work of keeping the organs of your body vibrating harmoniously. Vibration is the greatest thing in the universe—it is a part of the universe. Light, heat and sound are caused by vibration. All energy is vibration. Electricity is a form of vibration. All things we have are directly or indirectly due to some form of vibration. The treatment by vibration is a form of massage. Vibration, however, is much more efficient than massage. It is almost intuitive with us. Sup- pose we bump our chin or arm or head, causing a pressure on the nerve at that place—what is the first action on our part? Why it is to rub it, of course. When we have in this way restored the usual supply of blood the nerve is released and we are relieved of the pain. Suppose the difficulty is deeper and where we cannot reach it by the ordi- nary massage. Perhaps it is an internal organ and then the ordinary form of massage will be of little use while Vibration can be used effectively. Vibration as a Mechanical Energy Circulation As a means of improving the circulation the electric Vibrator is ideal. The quickly alternating compression and relaxation of tissues has the efifect, first, of forcing the bad blood out of the capillaries and through the veins. The brief period of relax- ation causes the rich red blood to flow in after it and find its way into the starved and poisoned tis- sues. Thus perfect circulation is due to vibration. No sluggishness of blood is possible with the continued percussion stroke of the Vibrator at work giving the blood power to push its way through to every part of the body, giving us health and strength. The question is no longer asked whether the Electric Vibrator has any real scientific basis in the relief of disease. Many medical authorities and physicians have written extensively about vibration and its benefits and these alone should be sufficient to convince us of its worth. Our own good judgment can tell us nothing but the truth. We know the efifects of an ordinary massage. We have felt its invigorating power, hence it must follow, since massage is a milder form of vibration, that perfect circu- lation means perfect health and goes hand in hand with vibration. The principles of Vibration have gained a place among prominent and progressive physicians. It is the key-note to the modern science of Osteopathy. Our Vibrators Are Fully Guaranteed Page Nine LINDSTROM, SttlTH CO. CHICAGO. A Run Down System Often, for some reason, the system is run down or some part of it fails to perform its functions and even the persons with the strongest nat- ural vibration find, temporarily at least, that they need a toning up. Then comes the time when no human hand, no remedy, no medicine, can do as much good as mechanical vibration, not only to restore the body to its normal condition but to build up a permanence of health and energy. This great curative agent stands foremost in affording relief, in fitting the body to throw off disease germs and to perform its functions. Increase Your Vitality Page Ten LINDSTROM, CO. CHICAGO. Osteopathy and Vibration Osteopathy is a system of treatment based on the theory that diseases are chiefly due to deranged mechanism of the bones, nerves, blood vessels and other tissues and can be remedied by manipulation of these parts. It is the scientific treatment of the human anatomy according to estab- lished facts of construction and functional activity. It does not super- impose on exhausted or injured tissues and organs the additional burden of drugs with their immutable law of reaction. Osteopathy comprises the whole field of medical practice, excepting surgery, but it makes use of no drugs. To fully understand the principles of osteopathy it is necessary to consider the human anatomy to which they are applied. The human body is essentially a chemical machine consisting substantially of a frame work of bone and muscle supporting various organs in which food furnishes material for the formation of the various tissues and the supply of heat and energy. If all the structures of the body are in place and performing their duties properly—in other words if anatomical relationship and functional activities are preserved—health and harmony reign. It is through a disturbance of normal relations in the body that disease is possible. All tissues receiving a proper nerve and blood supply, with unimpeded drainage through the veins, must be normal. Quality of tissue, functional activity, the condition of the individual, all are dependent on this principle—namely, blood supply or circulation through the vascular system controlled by the nervous system. The human body is a machine run by the unseen force called life and that it may be run harmoniously it is necessary that there be an unimpeded flow of blood and nerve energy from the generating point to destination. Osteopathy Defined What Osteopathy Deals With Osteopathy deals with the body as a perfect machine and aims for the perfect activity of every organ, muscle and tissue, and especially the blood. The Osteopathic physician employs physical force in the practice of his profession for the proper replacement of bones and organs and the stimulation of nerves, muscles and blood. It is a principle of manual massage—a pushing, rubbing and kneading of the flesh and tissues—used to bring about that circulation of the blood which will drive from the body all the waste material whose retention makes for poor health. D on’t Poison Your System With Drugs Any Longer Page Eleveri LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Thus it is clearly seen that the principle of osteopathic treatments embodies the same principle upon which mechanical vibration is based— the kind of Vibration you get with the White Cross Electric Vibrator—a stimulative action upon the parts of the body that force a perfect circulation of the blood. It would, of course, be manifestly unfair to attempt the comparison of mechanical vibration and osteopathy as far as the replacement into proper position of bones, organs or muscles is concerned. But the principles of Osteopathic treatment and the principles of Mechanical Vibratory treatment are founded upon the recognized fact that a perfect circulation means the healthy action of the entire body. Become Your Own Osteopath Page Twelve LINDSTROM. SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The History of Vibration Massage is a French word derived from a Greek word, meaning to knead; the Arabic “‘mass,” pressure; Sanskrit "masch,” to press, to strike, and is commonly known as meaning friction, rolling, kneading and manipu- lations performed on the tissues of the body in a variety of ways, with the object of improving the circulation of the blood and general stimulation. It dates back for centuries and has been practiced by many nation- alities in various ways, but until lately has not received the recognition it so richly deserves. The earliest knowledge of it was probably obtained from the Hindoos and Brahmins and next from the Chinese, and the Greeks followed. Cong-Fu, hundreds of years before Christ, prescribed a regular system of massage to ward off ailments. How It Was Used In Ancient Times Homer (1000 B. C.) mentions in his writings that rubbing was used for stimulation. The ancient Greeks and Romans used massage in case of illness, to increase activity and as a luxury. After exercise it was used to relieve pains and to invigorate. It can be found in the reading of “Vedas” of India. It was practiced in ancient Egypt and Persia. Herodotus (484 B. C.) mentions it, saying that friction was good com- bined with a little pressure. Hippocrates (450 B. C.) claimed that it was good for constipation and sprains. Socrates and Plato both said that “rubbing can loosen joints” and “moderate rubbing makes parts grow, while hard rubbing binds and too much causes parts to waste.” This should be remembered by those who use Vibrators. Galen of Rome (150-200 B. C.) and Asclepiades (100 B. C.) used massage. Celsus believed in it for chronic pain of the head and for invigor- ating a paralyzed part. Hadrian, Martialis, Pliny and Arrian and Oribasius also believed in massage. Using Friction Probably Herodotus was the first to give directions, and thus gave the principles for rational mechanical methods of treatment. He spoke of friction being given, gentle and slow at first, and then with pressure and more rapid. Hippocrates suggested the “Direction” by saying to rub up, thereby aiding mechanical means and aiding circulation. Julius Caesar used to have himself pinched regularly, as a treatment for neuralgia. Galen said friction should be used before exercise to make the parts supple. He even advocated nine dififerent ways of employing massage. The Greeks used a unique way to obtain Vibration. They wrapped one end of a saw in cotton cloths and applied it to the body, while with the other end uncovered they would saw a piece of wood, thus obtaining mechanical Vibration. Vibration Has Been Used For Centuries Page Thirteen LINDSTROM., SrtlTH CO. CHICAGO. The Romans used the lash to cure impotence, and the back was rubbed to cure sterility. Ladies allowed themselves to be whipped on the back to cure the same trouble. Mercurialis in 1573 A. D. published a book treating on movements. Francis Fuller, 1740 A. D., wrote a book speaking of the “Influence of Motion” as a medical aid. Massage Rollers and Muscle Beaters Paullini, 1700 A. D., prescribed slapping- and flagellation. Massage rollers and muscle beaters were applied in many ways and shapes and were really primitive Vibrators. In the middle of the 19th century Dr. Zander constructed his mechan- ical motion instruments, called “Head-Shakes”, for neuralgia, etc. Vigoreaux used a tuning fork in a resounding box to treat locomotor ataxia, etc. The next step was the invention of mechanical machines for massage. The first ones could vibrate, shake, roll and cause friction, but due regard to technique is essential to proper massage, both manual and mechanical. vibrated the patient en-masse, conse- quently the next and last need was to introduce a Vibrator apparatus by means of which treatments could be more localized and apparatus better controlled and capable of being applied with greater regard to technique. Then, to make them so light and at- tractive and at such cost that people generally could have one in each home. Th is we were finally able to do after years of patient effort. The Majority of the Machines All People Use Vibration People of warm countries and cold, barbarous and civilized, have methods of massage, manual and mechanical. The people of Oceanica strike constantly and softly with the fist, rubbing the palm of the hand and pressing and squeezing the tissues between the fingers and the thumb. This illustrates the combination of effects which can be produced with a Vibrator. The natives when using it for fatigue treat only the arms and legs, but if they use it for pain they treat only the surrounding tissues. The Sandwich Islanders use a mixture of kneading, squeezing and rubbing called “Lomi-Lomi,” and now in later days we have “Vibration and Massage,” obtaining our knowledge from the ancients and our ances- tors, but with improved methods and of course with more beneficial results. Vibration Has Stood The Test For 2000 Years Page Fourteen LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Extracts from Mechanical Vibration and its Therapeutic Application M. J. Arnold Snow, M. D. Professor of Mechanical Vibration Therapy in the New York School of Physical Therapeutics; Associate Editor of the Journal of Advanced Therapeutics; Late Assistant in Electro-Therapeutics and Diseases of the Nervous System in the New York Post-Graduate Medical School. “The circulation in relation to mechanical vibration includes the effects upon the heart, arteries, blood, veins and capillaries.” “From the effects of vibration applied as a tissue exerciser, it may be inferred that it increases the number of red corpuscles and the haemo- globin. Winternitz has demonstrated that exercise increased the number of red blood corpuscles.” “Nasal catarrh may be favorably affected by vibro-massage applied to the muscles about the nose, eyes and mouth, using vibratory stroking in an outward direction. A vibratory treatment of the neck will also assist the process. An internal nasal treatment is seldom necessary.” Increase the Blood Supply “Vibration increases the blood supply to the muscle, renders it firmer, more healthy and more elastic. In cases following injury it rapidly diminishes the tense hardness due to local statis so characteristic of the affected part. After the first treatment properly administered the part treated usually has a feeling of warmth and comfort. “Vibratory stroking has a soothing effect, and vibratory function by acting on the nerve of the blood vessels and lymphatics has a marked effect on inflammation. It also helps to give the tired nerves their neces- sary blood supply.” “Deep interrupted vibration with moderate or deep pressure is stimu- lating if the application is short, but it is exhausting if too strong or if it be applied too long.” “Mechanical vibration relieves congestion, assists elimination and absorption, and stimulates the functions of the various structures of the eye.” “The eyelids and face may be successfully treated by mechanical vibration. Vibratory stroking is indicated for the relief of paralysis, aedma, and ecchymoses. Twitchings are best treated by direct application over the motor points of the affected muscles.” Vibration Prevents Poor Circulation Page Fifteen LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. “Sexual neurasthenia, impotency and prostatitis may also be treated oy vibration either alone or in connection with electricity. For the treat- ment of which employ the rectal vibratode for five minutes or so, using the minimum stroke and a fairly rapid speed, taking care that the treatment be not too prolonged.” Correcting Digestion “Mechanical vibration is a valuable means for inducing the functional activity and correcting other derangements of digestion.” “Mechanical vibration promotes to a marked degree the functional activity of the liver, stomach and intestines—both promoting absorption and increasing peristaltic activity.” “Mechanical vibration applied to the stomach improves the general tone, increases motor and glandular activity, thereby aiding nutrition.” “Vibration of the abdomen has a curative effect on constipation, assists digestion by in- creasing the functional activity of the pan- creas, liver, stomach, promotes muscular nu- trition, increases absorption and renal elimina- tion, strengthens the muscles of the abdomen and increases nervous and circulatory activity, and slows the pulse rate.” How a Vibrator Should be Constructed “The essential elements of a good machine are as follows: It should be constructed so as not to injure, by soiling or tearing the pa- tient’s clothing; the vibrations should be capable of a range from weak to strong and the force of impulse and rate of speed should be under control (the rate ranging as high as 6,500 vibrations per minute) and the stroke should be adjustable. It should be easily moved about, easily operated and readily adapted to the part to be treated. It should have the least possible fric- tional wear, and the applicators should be easily adjusted. The apparatus should be so constructed as not to be easily broken or put out of repair. Heavy weight is an objectionable feature.” Less Pain When Vibration Is Fully Known Page Sixteen LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Vibration and Muscles From “Lessons in Vibratory Therapeutics.” The muscles constitute about one-half of the body weight and contain one-quarter of the blood. Not a movement can be executed without some of them being called into activity, and perhaps there is never a time in our life in which some of them are not in action. It is in the muscles that the capillaries give up their nutriment; in them the body heat is generated and maintained; hence their condition is a matter of concern. The work of muscle is done by alternate contraction and relaxation. As the muscle works, more blood is brought to it—the more work the more blood and also the more waste. This waste consists mostly of carbonic acid. Another waste product is sacro-lactic acid, so that, when working, the normally alkaline reaction of muscle is changed to acid, and if fresh blood is not fully supplied, the muscle is soon fatigued by the increase of the waste. Muscles Never Relaxed We have said that muscles are never com- pletely relaxed—they are always more or less on the stretch. This condition of tension, called “tone,” is under control of the nervous system, and, if kept up normally, is dependent upon a full supply of blood. Flabby muscles lack tone— blood—hence a depressed or paralyzed nervous condition must be present or a low condition of the circulation. Men with such muscles are of sedentary habit—do not exercise. Vibration or massage applied to the muscles of such indi- viduals will speedily restore the lost “tone.” Muscles of the Face and Neck Effect of Vibration on Muscles What is the effect of mechanical vibration on the muscles? From experience we have found the effects are similar to, but in some cases more pronounced than, those of massage. I cannot forbear letting Dr. Graham describe those effects. In speaking of muscles he says: “Their action presents a great similarity to' that of a beating heart, for at every contraction of a muscle, blood is driven out of it, and by this it, at the same time, receives an additional impulse in its return to the heart, while at every relaxation the vessels are again allowed to fill. Further, the heart, abundantly supplied with blood for its own nourishment, lasts a life-time, usually without fatigue, though in constant activity, while voluntary muscles, if allowed to remain inactive, suffer in size and strength. Use a Vibrator as a Daily Exerciser Page Seventeen LINDSTROM, SrtlTH CO. CHICAGO. Overcome Inactivity Hence the importance of some measure that will overcome the evils of inactivity, that will at once attract the circulation to the muscles and at the same time aid in its return. This indication is better fulfilled by the intermittent pressure of massage than by any other known remedy; for it makes more blood go through the skin and muscles and consequently less to the brain and spinal cord and internal organs generally. Muscular Fatigue Fatigue is an indication that waste is greater than repair. Muscular fatigue from over-exer- tion or want of exercise is relieved by massage, which promotes a more rapid absorption of waste products and stimulates the tardy peripheral cir- culation upon which weariness to a large extent depends. Fatigue from mental straining is re- lieved by the same means which increases the area and quantity of the circulation in the ex- ternal tissues of the body and thus depletes the overfilled cerebral vessals. Experiments have been made by a German professor upon himself and two others to deter- mine the effects of massage on a healthy subject. In each case the muscular strength increased and all the bodily functions were performed in a more perfect manner. This coincides with our own experience when treating. Showing Nerve Centers of Spinal Column Vibration Promotes Power, Health and Strength Page Eighteen LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Medicine vs. Vibration In many cases where medicine will in any way benefit a patient, as tor instance in rheumatism, the medicine is generally so strong that it will ruin the stomach. The same may be said of medicine in blood affec- tions, etc. Some of the medicines will even destroy the bones and do great damage to the system in general. In using our Electric Vibrator you cannot possibly do any harm, which is not the case with medicine. You can even apply vibration with your clothing on, if you prefer, and direct to the diseased portion of the body, nerves and muscles. Our patented Electric Vibrator is capable of producing an extensive range of vibratory movement, and this movement is always directed toward one purpose—the driving out of any disease which may be in the human body. Does Away With Guess Work 1 here is no guesswork, no wondering, and no fear, as there is about drugs. Once the correct vibratory impulse is found, relief is the result, for a change takes place in the tissues; a change must take place there, and furthermore, this change must be in the direction of that normal painless vibra- tory condition known as the state of health. The White Cross Elec- tric Vibrator is always ready for use and within the con- trol of the patient himself. The price is very reason- able ; it costs practically nothing to maintain it, and Avith ordinary care will last for years. A Family Necessity There are vibrators cost- ing from $50.00 to $75.00, but not one of the expen- sive machines can do any- thing additional or superior to our patented Electric Vibrator. Many that cost three or four times as much as ours are not near as complete a therapeutic agent, and many of them are so heavy and bulky that a delicate woman cannot use them. Ours are very compact and easily handled. In capacity for generating a wide range of vibratory movement it yields to none. You only turn a switch to put the machine in operation, and you can regulate it to give from one thousand to many thousand vibrations per minute. Vibration Promotes Energy Page Nineteen LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. With our Combination Vibrators you are able to make any chair a vibrating chair,, and you will therefore have practically a small sanitarium in your own home. You need never be afraid of either the electricity or vibration, as they can do you no harm. Any of our Vibrators can be handled by those who are unfamiliar with instruments of this kind, and by following the directions, give home treatments. With our patented Electric Vibrator in the home the family is equipped with an outfit that is equal to the best instrument used by the best phy- sicians, sanitariums and hospitals all over the world. Medicine for a sore throat is used only on the throat and is of no benefit to a rheumatic joint or to give relief to a pain in the back, but the White Cross Electric Vibrator may be used in a dozen different ailments with the most satisfactory results. This makes it an indispensable house- hold article. When you depend on the old drug method your hand is never out of your pocket. Doctors and drugs, drugs and doctors, play havoc with a man’s surplus. Treating Children With Vibration and Electricity you can treat the ailments of children and develop their body in a manner marvelous to see. Vibratory impulse will cause a strong circulation. It will bring about improved nutrition and your children will grow up with a strong, ruddy and vigorous con- stitution. • Used Throughout the World Treatment for Constipation “It is safe to say that at least 95 per cent of cases of this condition whether they be chronic or acute, will be greatly benefited by vibratory stimulation, as there can be no doubt that mechanical or physical treatment is the ideal method to be used in conditions of this kind. Drugs and enemas are of no avail, as their use only serves to give temporary relief, and they have to be increased in frequency and amount each time they are given, while vibration gets at the seat of the cause and by relieving or removing it brings about the desired result.”—Vibratory Technique. Vibration Benefits Young and Old Page Twenty LINDSTROM , SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The same daily vibration over all or special portions of the body will serve to banish fatigue of the wife, mother or housekeeper, overcome her special ills and aches, efface wrinkles of care, worry, age or disease, and preserve a superb complexion. The daily treatment from the vibrator will develop the physical and mental energy of growing boys and girls. It affords a safeguard against special dangers of this period of life. It tones the whole system, and by its use many a fever or decline may be escaped or averted. The daily vibration with our machine will give the man of the house more enduring strength and a greater mental range. It will enable him to do the same work with less effort or more work with same effort. The Invigorating Treatment The vibration method of treatment is marvelously invigorating. Numerous experiments have shown that a few minutes of vibratory mas- sage is equal to several hours of sleep in overcoming fatigue. Vibration being a natural, physiological treatment is not limited by age or sex. It is equally effective for young and old. The purchase of a Vibrator is within the reach of everyone, because of its reasonable price, but it is a purchase that no man can afford to neglect. It is the one thing by means of which he can treat headaches, sore throats and common household troubles, which present themselves daily and are so liable to develop into serious diseases if allowed to go un- checked. Vibration Harmless to Invalid or Child It is harmless to the most delicate invalid or child. Its effects are certain and as natural as sleep, if used according to our chart and directions. Those who have used the Vibrator and who know what it will do are the people who are loudest in its praises. Self interest, your health, your peace of body and mind, the hopelessness of your disease after it gets beyond the aid of drugs, all these considerations demand that you shall lose no time in securing and actively employing this wonderful in- vention which comes to you with the en- dorsement of many prominent profes- sional men, medical, health and electrical journals and recommendations of actual results achieved when other means of treatment have hopelessly failed We cordially invite those living in Chicago or within easy distance of the city to call at our offices and have the Electric Vibrator demonstrated to them in person. If you do not find your ailments mentioned in this book, please de- scribe your case plainly and we will have our physicians advise you on same, free of charge. For tired and swollen ankles and feet there is nothing better than Vibration Vibration Benefits Nearly Everybody Page Twenty-one LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Physical Development All athletes are familiar with the gratifying results of massage after over-exertion, when the muscles are stiffened and burdened with the ex- cessive accumulation of waste. This waste is carried away through the improved circulation, while the tissues are supplied with the fresh and red arterial blood, so they can readily repair or replace the broken cells. Better Than Hand Massage The physiological effect of massage applied by the W hite Cross Elec- tric Vibrator has the same effect but is much more potent than that secured by hand. Through the kneading of the muscles or other tissues, the cir- culation of the blood is accelerated and the venous blood forced on its way to the heart by the compression or squeezing of the tissues, allowing the arterial blood to suffuse the capillaries in great abundance. No doubt you have noticed in a gymnasium, the trainers kneading the muscles of the athletes. This is done to loosen the muscle bound parts and start the circulation through the arteries. A common sight in a gym- nasium is to see an athlete lying on a slab and the trainer bending over with the palms of his hands facing each other, thumbs upward, beating up and down on the athlete’s muscles with the edge of his hands. In this way a light and insufficient form of vibration is accomplished. With the White Cross Electric Vibrator, a much more thorough form of massaging or vibration can be given and results easily accomplished. Penetrating the Parts Naturally, massage treatment at the hand of an amateur masseur is very ineffective. Such treat- ments at the hands of a competent masseur are very expensive and the results obtained are not sufficient to do a great deal of good. Ihe vibrator gives a steady treatment that not only strikes the surface, but penetrates the parts where the real vibration and stimulation are needed. The White Cross Electric Vibrator is as valu- able to persons seeking physical development, as to the developed athlete. Vibration can be used with great advantage in cases where it is impossible to take voluntary exercise, although we must say here, that in order to become perfectly developed, you should take vol- untary exercise along with vibratory treatments. Muscles Must Have Excercise Everyone knows that in order to build up and maintain your physical development, your muscles must have full play at all times. Walking is an excellent form of exercise. The muscles of the legs, back, arms and Natures Power Obtained Through Vibration Page Twenty-two LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. chest are developed in walking; but if your muscles do not have full play, as is the case nine times out of ten with the man who is not taking steady exercise, these walks do very little good, except in giving you fresh air and a goodly supply of oxygen. Exercise has very little effect upon you unless your muscles are in a condition to receive the benefit. Out of Death Comes Life That is the true law of nature. The acorn is planted and dies, but from its death comes the magnificent oak. And it is true with the human system. When you start out to exercise, the old useless tissues are broken down and killed. All of this dead waste remains in your system unless you work it off by the proper method. If you were to start in exercising after a few months of taking no exercise at all, you would get thin and lose weight. That is because the tissues would be broken down, but in a short time, the new development would come, and you would gradually gain what you have lost and take on a good many pounds of good healthy flesh and muscle. Don't you know a great many men who exercise a great deal but who are not in a healthy condition? We do. They wonder why it is when they try so hard to develop themselves and be strong, that they should not be permitted to enjoy good health. Let us tell you why. It is because they are breaking down their tissues, but do not work off the dead substances in the body. They allow this to remain in their system and this poisonous waste stagnates and injures the system and pre- vents new development which would naturally come. With the vibratory treatments, you can clear away all of this waste substance and broken down tissues. The rich red blood is allowed to course through your veins and arteries, and development is permitted and encouraged. Many times the possessor of limited wealth neglects his physical welfare, thinking it would cost hundreds of dollars to do what should be done, when it can be done at the cost of a few dollars ex- pended for a White Cross Electric Vibrator. The development in the use of vibratory treatments during the past two or three decades have proven to be a very potent factor in im- proving the health of mankind. This is true not only because of the direct value of these various treatments of diseased conditions, but also because of the tremendous influence in getting the minds of men away from the traditions and habits of depending entirely upon medicines. Regarded from the broad view point of physical culturists, it is not to be assumed that mechanical treatment with the vibrator offers an abso- Don’t Neglect Your Physical Welfare Tone Up Your System Through Vibration Page Twenty-three LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. lutely complete system of treatment and development to be followed out in all cases and exclusive of modifications of diet, fasting, etc. No, we do not say that vibratory treatments used exclusively will develop your muscles and give you a healthy, perfect system, unless you do other things, too. You must take care of yourself in a general way—not be gluttonous in your eating or violate the laws of nature, but it is admitted that vibra- tory treatment is absolutely necessary in physical development and a vibrator should be in the hands of every athlete, every gymnasium and in every home. There are many cases in which active exercise is impossible or in which the patient is unable to take enough of it to accomplish the desired improvement. This is especially true when you have a disorder of local character, or when it is localized at some point, as in a case of rheumatism. Then the exercise is most conveniently accomplished through the intelli- gent use of a vibrator. Physicians Endorse Vibrator The widespread use of gymnastic and Swedish movements throughout the world has been a great educational campaign for the White Cross Electric Vibrator. Scores of physicians endorse this treatment and advise their patients to take it. We have proven that the White Cross Electric Vibrator gives you the same kind of treatment only of a more complete nature. Yes, our vibrator gives you all of the treatments in a more intensified and complete form. It can do more than the hand, because instead of just going over the surface, it penetrates the parts where the real vibration is needed. With our vibrator, you can get the famous Swedish movement by attaching it to an ordinary chair. This is all explained in another part of this book. Vibrator is a Necessity Summing it all up, we simply have this plain faci: the vibrator is a necessary factor in physical development. If you wish to develop yourself properly, and carry off the broken down tissues which come from physical exercise, if you would carry off this poisonous waste, if you would have proper circulation of blood, which is absolutely essential to health and strength, you should use our electric vibrator. Our greatest physical culturists recommend this wonderful machine as being one of the necessary factors in the practice of physical culture. Never to Healthy to Use a Vibrator Page Twenty-four LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Babies and Children are Benefited by Vibration In these days when mothers are making it more of a scientific study to have healthy, strong and beautiful babies, vibration is found to be a great blessing in relieving pain and promoting circulation without poison- ous drugs and medicines. The vibration in the White Cross Electric Vibrator can be regulated to be so mild that it is suitable for the most delicate babies. When the baby is cross from colic, etc., it is no longer necessary to ex- periment with soothing syrups, paregoric, castor oil, etc., for vibration often will relieve the pain in a few minutes. Instead of spoiling the baby’s stomach it can be made strong and healthy through this natural remedy. Children with Hereditary Diseases Many innocent children are born with hereditary diseases and are suffer- ing a good deal of pain because of this. Young mothers in their innocence fill the baby’s stomach with all sorts of poisonous drugs in order to relieve them, and while they seem to be successful in some cases, they often ruin the stomach of the little one and sometimes it takes years to re- pair what a few doses of paregoric and other strong drugs have damaged. Mild vibration can never do any harm, and it is always beneficial. This, any one can confirm by rubbing their hands over the stomach when in pain. If the bare hand can accomplish this by rubbing, what will not our Electric Vibrator be able to do, with the thousands of rubbings and soothing vibrations per minute, for the aching and crying baby? What the helpless little baby, which lays in the cradle, needs, is more exercise to promote better circulation. Often when a baby is crying- from colic and pain, it is relieved by lifting it up and carrying it around. This shows that it is benefited by exercise. The White Cross Electric Vibrator not only can be used for applying it direct to the body, but it can also be attached to the cradle like it is at- tached to a chair, and the cradle be made a VIBRATING CRADLE. * Vibrating Cradle *This is one of the easiest ways to give exercise to the little one. It will often help to put a child asleep in a few minutes. Remember, no other vibrator can do this. Our vibrator is the only one that can be attached to the cradle, or to the bed, and this invention is fully protected by patents. For Baby’s Sake Get a Vibrator Page Twenty-five LINDSTRQM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Vibrating Chair Greatest Invention of the Age for Insomnia This ailment is caused by too much blood in the head. Vibration will drive it elsewhere and the patient goes to sleep. Sleep and Rest are two of the greatest nat- ural remedies in the world for many ailments. It will help keep you young, healthy, strong and beautiful, with a clear mind and steady nerves. A treatment in the Vibrating Chair just before retiring promotes natural sleep. 1 he result is much more permanent and beneficial than that obtained by the use of drugs or sleeping powders. Those that experience sleepless nights will appreciate this means of securing a good night’s sleep and rest. The White Cross Electric Vibrator is the only Vibrator with which a Vibrating Chair can be made. The Vibrating Chair will also improve circulation better than anything else. To obtain good health and a good complexion it is necessary to have good circulation. Swedish Movement In Your Own Rocker Page Twenty-six LINDSTRQM, SrtlTH CO. CHICAGO. Cause of Deafness Ninety per cent of all cases of deafness are caused by an inflamma- tion and congestion of the mucous membrane lining the nose, throat and middle ear, known as catarrh. A cold, cough, sore throat, la grippe, all have a tendency to bring on this inflamed condition. As the mucous mem- brane lining the throat is continuous with that of the upper pharynx and eustachian tube, the inflammation quickly extends to the middle ear, caus- ing a congestion of the ossicles and a gradual closing of the eustachian tube. c bymptoms The first warning symptoms of approaching deafness are a slight ring- ing or hissing sound in one or both ears, while sometimes a peculiar thumping sensation is experienced with each pul- sation of the heart. The eustachian tube is a pipe leading from the throat to the cavity of the middle ear. Its function is to fill the cavity with air at atmos- pheric pressure so that the pressure may be exactly the same at the front and back of the ear drum. The organ is thus main- tained in perfect equilibrium and is en- tirely free to vibrate in and out when the sound waves impinge upon it. What Vibration Does Mechanical vibration often relieves the sufferer. Vibration of a decided nature, such as is given by the White Cross Vibrator, will often loosen the parts and bring back proper circulation throughout the hearing organ. By means of our Ear Applicator we remove the external air pressure. By starting the Vibrator we create a very rapid suction effect which draws the ear drum and the attached ossicles back and forth the slightest fraction of an inch many thousand times a minute, and nothing is inserted in the ear which might injure its sensitiveness. This exercise, given to the ear at your home twice daily for a couple of minutes, often breaks up the ankylosed condition of the congested ossicles just as a rusty hinge is made to move easily by being worked back and forth. At the same time the thickened ear drum is exercised and the congested blood vessels of the ear acted upon, so that the healthy blood is forced through the partially dead membrane, and the thickened, dead portion of the ear drum, which keeps it from vibrating when sound waves strike it, is gradually reduced to the normal size.

Improved Eyesight In Many Cases Operations and Eyeglasses are Unnecessary The blessing of perfect eyesight is the greatest boon ever conferred on mankind, its value is simply beyond all calculation—all expression. Without it, we move in a world of darkness—all the beauties of Nature, glowing sunsets, star-spangled skies, the sheen of the stream, the glow of autumn over field and forest—all these are simply wiped out of our exist- ence. We are barred from the great worlds of literature and the stage, even the faces of our friends and loved ones are hidden. The charm of baby’s smile, the glorious radiance in the face of the mother, the lovelight in the eyes of sweetheart or wife—all are gone, leaving a desolation worse than death itself. Eye Troubles are so common that we do not realize how they can mar an entire life until we ourselves are at- tacked. Modern conditions of living place a se- verer strain on our eyes than any other organ of the body. Not one person in a hundred has perfect eyes—not one in a hundred who does not suffer from some form of eye strain, weakness, or actual disease, all, or at least a part of the time. Every oculist knows that nearly every form of eye trouble can be benefited by the right kind of vibration. All eye troubles may be divided into two classes—those which are caused by improper circulation throughout the eye structure, and those which result from a change in the shape of the eyeball. There is no need to go into a long, tiresome explanation. You want to know the cause, then the remedy. Here is the Reason How the White Cross Electric Vibrator Benefits The White Cross Electric Vibrator benefits by correcting the very conditions which cause the trouble. It enables you to give yourself exactly the same treatments which you would receive from the foremost specialists, and right in the privacy of your own home, without a penny of expense. Ever since the principles of vibration first became generally known, oculists have been growing more and more enthusiastic over the possibili- ties of this simple method of treatment, provided frequent treatments could be given. Naturally, the high charges asked by the oculist makes it im- possible for any but the very wealthy to take treatments oftener than once or twice a week. With the White Cross Electric Vibrator you may take Vibration Benefits By Correcting The Cause Page Twenty-eight LINDSTROM, SiWH CO. CHICAGO. several treatments a day without a penny of extra expense, without leaving home, and without the slightest inconvenience or any interference with your regular duties or pleasures. Devote Just a Few Minutes a Day Just a few minutes a day is all that is necessary. Simply apply the soft rubber cup, or Sponge I, which fits over the entire eye, and start the Vibrator. The sensation is so delightful and restful that you will enjoy every minute of each treatment. No part of the instrument ever touches the eye itself. It is the vibration which does the work. And you can control the strength of these vibrations perfectly to suit your own comfort. The perfect, normal circulation is restored throughout every portion of the eye. The waste products which the stagnant blood has left in the eye structure are removed in a natural way. The wonderful network of nerves, the mi- croscopically small filaments which com- municate with every single cell, are quick- ened and strengthened, the strained muscles which are pulling the eye out of shape are relaxed, and the relief is begun. Immediate Improvement You feel benefited after the very first treatment. Your eyes are rested, your sight clearer. If you are now wearing glasses, you may have to continue wearing them for a while after commencing the Vibratory treatment. But if you persist in the treat- ment faithfully, sooner or later you may be able to discard them altogether. Delay is Dangerous If your eyes are troubling you in any way, attend to them at once. Your most precious possession is in danger. No matter what the trouble, it is sure to grow worse the longer you neglect it. Act NOW. Results Are Wonderful With a White Cross Page Twenty-nine LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Dyspepsia and Indigestion Dyspepsia and indigestion have been called the “National American diseases.” The American habit of doing everything in a hurry is undoubt- edly the chief cause of the amazing percentage of digestive disorders which exist in this country. Thousands of business men go into bankruptcy every year for no other reason than because their disordered digestions have unfitted them for the responsi- bilities of commercial life. Homes are broken up and lives ruined simply because the fiendish temper, which is almost always a part of the affliction, renders human companionship almost an impossibility. Beware of Indigestion Disorders of digestion affect the entire system. The close relation of the stomach to that great nerve center called the solar plexus, in which meet the nerves which con- trol the most important of our bodily func- tions, means that when the stomach is dis- arranged or diseased, the rest of the body is certain to be more or less seriously involved. Even a slight attack of indigestion is usually accompanied by such symptoms as headache, fever, biliousness, constipation, disorders of vision, flashes before the eyes, etc., palpitation of the heart, besides a general feeling of depression, lack of strength and general “grouchiness.” Dyspep- sia is, after all, nothing more or less than chronic indigestion, and the dyspepsia victim cannot be blamed if he finally concludes that life for him is not worth living unless he can obtain permanent relief from the tortures which he suffers. It is a curious fact that the remedies which doctors know are indicated for the relief of one symptom, in cases of stomach dis- order, are almost certain to have their usefulness more than overbalanced by the fact that while they may relieve the one particular symptom for which they are given, they are almost certain to upset the stomach in some other way. Vibration Acts In a Natural Way The truly remarkable results which have been accomplished through the use of vibration in cases of dyspepsia and indigestion are due to the fact that this wonderful power works hand in hand with Nature to assist her in repairing the damage which has been caused through unnatural means. Vibration, first of all, causes a natural supply of blood to force through the stomach walls and muscles. The glands in the inner lining of the stomach, which supply the secretions used in the digestion of our food are awakened. The congested capillaries, which form the most intri- Vibration Will Aid Your Digestion Page Thirty LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. cate network throughout the entire digestive apparatus are flushed and cleansed. In ordinary cases of indigestion, a few treatments are often suffi- cient to relieve the symptoms. It is, of course, useless to expect such results in a case of dyspepsia where the trouble is of long standing and the damage to the stomach struc- ture itself more severe. Checks Attacks But the dyspepsia sufferer will bless the White Cross Electric Vibrator if for no other reason than the prompt relief which it affords him during an attack—relief such as could not otherwise be obtained except through the use of powerful drugs, whose after effects are certain to be worse than the original trouble. He soon finds, however, that if he persists in the use of vibration, the severity of the attack becomes less and less each time. He also discovers that it is now possible for him to add certain articles of food to his diet, which previously had acted upon him like so much poison. With the increase in his digestive power comes a corresponding increase in his general health. He begins to take on weight, his mind becomes clearer and his outlook upon life infinitely more joyous.

CHICAGO. Colds and Catarrh Most people do not realize the seriousness of a common cold. It is the old story of familiarity breeding- contempt. Almost everybody catches a cold some time and can describe every single unpleasant symptom accurately from actual personal experience. But in spite of the fact that we are apt to take a cold as a matter of course, the danger lurking in every single attack is none the less to be feared. Consumption and Pneumonia can be traced directly to an ordinary cold which was either neglected or which failed to yield readily to the ordinary remedies. The appalling death rate from these two diseases is the greatest problem before the med- ical profession today. Official sta- tistics prove that the number of deaths caused by these two diseases in a single year is far in excess of the total number killed in both the Union and Confederate armies during the entire four years of our bloody Civil War. Cold a Form of Poisoning A cold is a form of poisoning. As you know, the surface of the skin is covered with millions of tiny pores, which, in health, are busy every minute in throwing off the poisonous excretions of the body. So vitally important is the work of the pores that if the skin were to be covered with a varnish which would seal them up entirely, death would follow in just a very few hours. The poisons which are ordinarily thrown off through the skin are just like any other poison when they are re-absorbed back in the body faster than the other eliminative organs can throw them off. Vibration Offers a Way to Quick Results First of all, the natural circulation is restored. The skin is made to glow and the pores are opened and resume their natural functions. 1 he veins, arteries and all the marvelous network of capillaries are flushed thor- oughly with the rushing, cleansing, purifying, oxygen-laden blood. The causes are removed and Nature completes the work. Catarrh is one of the after effects of a long continued cold. Vibration brings the blood right to the seat of the trouble. The throat and nasal passages are cleaned and the headaches which are almost always present in advanced cases are relieved almost immediately. Try Vibration Before Experimenting With Drugs Page Thirty-two LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Lumbago While lumbago is not usually dangerous, it would probably be unsafe to attempt to convince any one who has ever suffered from it that it was not a very serious matter to say the least. Its extremely sudden onset, together with the racking agonies, as though every muscle in the back of the sufferer were being pulled out by red hot pinchers, combine to make it one of the most dreaded of all ailments. Probably the most serious feature about lumbago is the fact that one attack predisposes the system to a number of others, which usually increase in frequency as the years go by. The man or woman who has once suf- fered an attack of lumbago therefore lives in a constant dread of the next attack. Medical knowledge has never yet been able to offer any relief to the lumbago sufferer, except through powerful opiates, which, even if they do not create a drug habit in the sufferer, are extremely injurious to the system in general and not infrequently produce a permanent organic affec- tion of the heart. Vibration a Very Effective Treatment Vibration is a very effective method which has been discov- ered for the treatment of lum- bago. Its effect on the aching back of the tortured sufferer is more potent than that of any opiate. As one man ex- pressed it in a letter to us recently, “It just eats up the ache.” A natural, restful sleep, often the first that the patient has experienced in days or even weeks, follows, and in a short time the patient is up and around feeling none the worse for the ordeal which he has passed through. The Most Valuable Feature of the White Cross Electric Vibrator in the treatment of lumbago seems to be its effect in preventing a recurrence of the attack. This is due to the fact that its effects extend clear through the deeper tissues, restoring the circulation and the nerve supply to the same condition in which they were before the attack, instead of leaving them weakened and the parts congested as is the case when an attack of lumbago is allowed “to relieve itself” in the ordinary way. Your Health Is At Your Finger Tips Page Thirty-three LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Neuralgia It is safe to say that none of the common ailments are productive ot such exquisite agony, such torturing, maddening pain as neuralgia. The sufferer from neuralgia is sincerely to be pitied. Volumes of medical literature have been written on this subject, but the conclusion in every case seems to be that the most that can be hoped from any form of drug treatment is merely temporary relief. It is a well known fact among physicians that any form of drugs which relieves pain is abso- lutely certain to have more or less permanently injurious effects upon the system. This is not only true sometimes, but all the time and the injurious effects seem to be in direct proportion to the power of the drug to relieve pain. Why Use Poisoned Drugs While neuralgia in itself seldom, if ever, leads to a fatal termination, except in those cases where it affects the heart, it is, however, directly responsible for the wrecking of thousands upon thousands of lives and constitutions through the use of powerful drugs taken to relieve the pain. The use of vibration in the treatment of neuralgia is now commonly recognized as the promptest and one of the most effectual methods of relieving the paralyzing ache and the tearing, flashing, shooting agonies. Physicians generally do not seem to be agreed as to the exact cause of this malady. It seems certain that it is an affection of the nerves and it has proven that only by properly regu- lating the circulation of the blood in the parts supplied by the affected nerves can temporary or permanent relief be ex- pected. Begins at the Cause of the Trouble Many physicians have been con- verted to the use of mechanical vibration in their daily practice after they have seen the wonderful results obtained through this natural power. The White Cross Electric Vibrator reaches the pain instantly. It begins right at the cause of the trouble. Often in a few minutes (the length of time depending upon the severity of the attack) the pains begin to subside and in many cases only two or three treatments, at intervals of fifteen minutes or so, are required to produce freedom from pain. Pain Is Caused By Pressure On The Nerves Page Thirty-four LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Backache When the muscles of the back become affected through a strain, a cold or any other cause, the lameness and aching which result will almost, if not entirely, unfit the strongest man or woman for either work or enjoy- ment until the affection has been relieved. Simply because a backache is such a common ailment we are not accustomed to think of it as anything serious. However, a backache is only a symptom and its seriousness depends upon its cause. When it is simply the result of a strain of the great muscles of the back, or is caused from catching cold in them, the severe pains and incon- venience are serious enough in themselves to warrant the most prompt action being taken to relieve the trouble. But when the strain or exposure, or whatever the cause may be, has been severe enough to affect the kidneys, the results may be extremely dangerous unless the most prompt action is taken to restore the nor- mal action of these organs. Loosens Up the Back Muscles The common practice of using liniment, blisters, etc., for relieving backache is only excused by the fact that the aim in each case is to produce the same results; i. e., to increase the circulation to the parts involved, which result is accomplished through the use of the Electric Vibrator and in such an infinitely superior manner that the results seem almost magical. The White Cross Electric Vibrator loosens up the stiffened muscles almost instantly. Many cases of the severest kind of backache which have lasted for weeks will frequently yield to a few treatments with a White Cross Vibrator. Even if the trouble is not en- tirely relieved or removed by the first treatments the improvement is almost always so marked that only a few treatments more are required to benefit the patient. When the kidneys themselves are involved the treatment is usually of longer duration, but as soon as the normal circulation of the blood is re-established, the inflammation begins to subside and the pain is partly relieved. If such cases are taken in time, and by that we mean as soon after the trouble is noticed as possible, many serious diseases of the kidneys can ofttimes be prevented. Vibration Relieves Pain Page Thirty-five LINDSTRQM, SttlTH CO. CHICAGO. Rheumatism Rheumatism, Gout, etc., are caused by uric acid and other poisons in the blood. These poisons, through poor circulation, are stopped on the way through the system, and accumulating they cause pain. Rheumatism gen- erally settles in the knee, elbow, ankle and shoulder, but may settle in any other part of the body. If the dis- ease is allowed to progress unchecked the joints will become ankylosed or solid, and grow rigid as the limbs of a statue. Bony lumps form on the joints of the fingers and toes, as in gout. Physicians Experience Many physicians have found that they have better success in treating rheuma- tism with vibratory massage and elec- tricity than with anything else. So re- markable have been the results of vibra- tory treatments that many of the better physicians do not think of treating rheu- matism without using vibration. Jars the Foreign Substances Loose Our White Cross Electric Vibrators, which move and vibrate many thousand times a minute, when applied to spots where the veins and arteries are clogged by foreign poisons and other matters clinging to the walls of the blood vessels, jar these foreign substances off and send them into the blood to be carried at a rapid pace until the purify- ing qualities of the hydrogen, oxygen and other gases taken up by the blood dissolve them and send them out of the body through the proper channels. Now that the sufferers can treat themselves by direct application of vibration without the possibility of injurious effect, there is no reason why they should hesitate to get one of our Excellent Vibrators, as we do not know of any better way of treating rheumatism than by vibration and electricity. The method of treating rheumatism is very simple. Vibration and Electricity are the best natural agents for this purpose. They will increase circulation of the blood and bring about a general sanitary clean up. Vibration Is The Worst Enemy Of Rheumatism Page Thirty-six LINDSTRQM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Vibration is the Natural Foe of Disease Disease is against nature. The normal, natural state of man is health—good, strong, robust health. Disease creeps in only when there is not sufficient vigor and strength to resist it. Vigor and strength means, as we have explained on another page of this catalog, the amount of vibra- tion there is in the human system. Some human bodies have more power of vibration than others. These bodies are in every in- stance strong, powerful and healthy bodies. The deduction of scientists, therefore, is that vibration is the most natural foe of disease. Has Helped Many Sufferers We have given you in this book the most, indisputable evidence that vibration has been of great benefit to many sufferers. More than likely it has benefited the very disease with which you are afflicted or corrected the very ailment from which you are suffering. There- fore, is it not reasonable for us to ask you to at least investigate and try one of our Vibra- tors? Should you refuse such a trial? The very fact that we hold out hope to you, no matter what may be your ailment, should be sufficient inducement for you to investigate our claims. Without health no one can be strong, robust or beautiful. Without both beauty and health life is nearly miserable. Without good digestion and an active stomach you cannot have health nor beauty. But you are not too sick to get well. Never think that. Never say it. Never give up to any such thoughts. Since vibration is one of the sources of health do not rest until you have tried vibration in your own case. Remember it is something which has been used for thousands of years in different forms—and surely if there was no efficacy in vibration it would not have withstood the test of literally thousands of years. Instead of having been discarded, improvements have been made steadily until now our Combination Vibrators form the acme, the very highest pinnacle, of all forms of medical instruments. Therefore we say, in all sincerity, do not despair. There is a way, somehow, to treat your case in some way and we believe that vibration is the way. Try our Vibrators with the use of our charts and directions and you will be convinced. Our Vibrators are recognised by the medical profession and experts as being true Massage Vibrators, with which one can give professional treat- ment without injury. A Source of Health Vibration Is a Conqueror of Disease Page Thirty-seven LINDSTROM. SMITH CO. CHICAGO Those Living in the Country know what it means to be sick, ailing or in pain and to be miles away from a town, a physician and even a friend or neighbor. The telephone has proved a great boon to them and brought them closer in touch. They are learning the value of electricity for personal use. No doubt they often envied the city people when reading of the X-Ray, Violet Ray and Electric Treatments, Massage, Vibration, etc. Even though feeling able to pay for such treatment, when they figured the cost of railroad fare, hotels and the loss of time from their farm and fireside it appalled them, and they dismissed it from their calculations and only dreamed of it. It need be a dream no longer. With our instruments, rang- ing from the Plain Vibrator to the Combination Outfit, giving both vibration and electricity, they can obtain the same benefits which are enjoyed by city people no matter whether having electricity in the house or not. After a long summer’s work they are naturally anxious to rest, and overlook the fact that by a sudden ceasing of exercise they will become muscle-bound. Rheumatism and pains will appear, the stomach becomes disarranged and they are more apt to contract illness and disease. This is where Vibration and Massage is a blessing to a home. It relieves pain, increases circulation of the blood and wards off diseases. A farmer’s wife who once has a good Vibrator will never be without it for treating her aching back. Besides all this, she and her daughters can take beauty treatments just the same as her more fortunate sister in the city, and during the winter months she can recuperate on her looks, coming out in the spring like the flowers do, fresh, sweet and pretty, and ready and willing for another year’s work for home, husband and children.

You can treat every member of the family, and when nobody is using the outfit for ailments, it can be used for facial and scalp massage. Don’t pour drugs in your stomach for pain in neck, arm, leg or back—the pain is not there. The most of diseases are caused by con- gestion—on this all physicians agree. Vibra- tion will remove the congestion quicker than anything else. An undeveloped bust is brought about by poor circulation, tight lacing and run-down health. Use the Vibrator a few minutes every day, and aid the bust, neck and arms in filling out and becoming firm, round and healthy. It helps force the blood through the famished parts. Vibration and Electricity are the most natural remedies known. With our patented Electric Vibrator you can concentrate two of the best curative powers known to the medical profession to one spot. For many cases it will not take but a few minutes before the patient is relieved. Vibration Is Endorsed By Physicians Everywhere Page Thirty-nine LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. There Will be Less Pain when people are educated to know the full value of the Electric Vibra- tor. The X-Ray is a wonderful invention and has benefited thousands; the Finsen Light is a great discovery and is working wonders; but the Electrical Vibrator has done more than all other inventions combined to relieve pain and build up the system. 1st—The vibrations are strong enough to stimulate, but not strong enough to do any harm. 2nd—They are strong enough to reach locally any point deeply situated in the tissues. 3rd—For these reasons our machines can be operated by a child without fear of injury, and it will do as much good as the most expensive vibrators. Our vibrator will not cure any incurable disease. It will not cure any disease that requires other means for treatment, but it will do as much as any other vibrator will do, it zvill stimulate the tissues that are worked upon and for that reason it zvill assist in relieving any disease where a local stimulation is required. The Advantages of Our Vibrators Are: I. Pain is produced by pressure upon the nerves. This is caused by— different materials which are not carried off but are crowded into the tissues and acting as poisons or by direct pressure upon the nerves connected with the seat of the pain. Stimulation by vibration will cause these poisons to be carried off and disposed of, hence, if all mechanical pressure is removed, pain will be relieved without poisoning the body with opiates. This means any pain in any part of the body. The name does not change it whether it is called headache, migraine, intercostal neuralgia, any other neuralgia, sciatica, gastralgia, myalgia or rheumatism, for vibra- tion has been employed with great success in its treatment. II. Stiffness in muscles or joints, lame back or any stiffness is pro- duced by injury, overwork or exposure to cold. But in any case it is a hardening of the tissues produced by the irritation of poisons or mineral salts that are crowded into the tissues. The vibration, if properly done, will cause this to be removed and thus soften the tissues and the stiffness zvill be relieved. III. Weakness in any part of the body depends on too little blood reaching the part afflicted. Vibration will cause the blood to go to the part which is treated and if treatment is kept up the weakness should give place to strength. (Constipation is a weakness of the bowels and may be relieved by vibration.) Insomnia is too much blood in the head. Vibration will draw it else- where and then the patient goes to sleep. The Disturbing Factors in Any Disease Are: Become One Hundred Per Cent Efficient Through Vibration Page Forty LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The Key to Beauty To be beautiful one must be healthy. There is nothing which so influences one for good as the magnetic charm of beauty, and the acqui- sition of this power is an art which every woman can acquire if she will improve the gifts Dame Nature has bestowed upon her. She may become beautiful, queenly and beloved if she will cultivate the personal charms she possesses, carefully correcting all deficiencies. Men Should be Interested There is also a great field for improvemeni among the opposite sex. Every man should be physically strong and have a clear comp exion, whether he be handsome or not. A great many men as well as women have realized this fact and make frequent visits to beauty parlors at great expense, for it is as essential in business as in society to have a pleasing personality. Clerks as well as bankers and business men can obtain these same results at home, with an immense saving of expense and time. Women can accomplish the same results in their own boudoir Have a Beauty Parlor In Your Own Home Page Forty-one LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Better still, farmers, their wives and children, who never dreamed that they could enjoy these professional treatments, so expensive even for city residents, can now, at a very slight cost, have the same advantages right at home, whether they have the electricity in the house or not. It is indeed painful to a woman whose mirror tells her that she is lacking in outward beauty, an adornment that she can acquire in the privacy of her own home and at a small expense, thus avoiding publicity. Improved Complexion In a Harmless Manner Page Forty-two LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. It is her duty to those around her to cultivate the physical gifts of which she is possessed and thereby become a happier and more attractive woman. The day is past for woman to remain plain and unlovely if it was her misfortune to be so. Today beauty is as much a science as any other branch of research. She who scientifically cultivates the beauties of her body has a loveliness which will endure the test of time. As a lifetime of conscientious work is re- quired to become a scholar, an artist or a musi- cian,* so also to attain perfect loveliness it will require earnest endeavor and close attention. Vibratory massage is one of the greatest agents in the pursuit of beauty, but should be properly employed. Directions for proper use should accompany every good Vibrator. This is the case with our Vibrators. At a great expense we secured the services of a noted specialist on vibration, and with every machine we send a copy of his celebrated direc- tions and charts for using our Vibrators. Beauty is a Science The Face Deserves the Utmost Care for it is the index to your character, the first glance at which determines your place in the estimation of others. So to be just with your own self it is your duty as well as privilege to avail yourself of the opportunity now at hand in the form of vibra- tory treatments. An intellectual woman is the woman of today. Vibratory treatment gives to her an added charm and a bulwark against disease, for it is an estab- lished fact that disease attacks the most vulnerable point, and that an organ grows stronger through vibration. The reaction calls the blood to the sur- face and the skin glows with health and vitality. You retire for the night to enjoy blissful slumber, or, if the treatment is taken during the day, walk forth a rejuvenated person, a king, queen, a monarch of your inner world. You enjoy all the freshness of regenerated life, and you echo the sentence: “Blessed be he who invented Vibrators Power, Health and Beauty Are Valuable Assets Page Forty-three LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Beauty for All BY ANNETTE BEACON Reprinted from the Modern Priscilla, November, 1911, Did I hear you say you had given up trying to be pretty? Why so? Because your eyes are dull, your skin rough and yellow and dotted with pimples and blackheads? That is a formidable list of beauty drawbacks, but if you will promise to give me your undivided attention I will tell you a way to gain the clear skin, glowing with the rosy hue of health, the lustrous eyes, the rosy lips and the contented mind that renders the woman who possesses these attractions beautiful to her friends, her family, and herself. Are you all interested? If so use vibration! Yes, I know you are all surprised, but to use vibration will, in my opinion, put you on that short and narrow path which leads to beautyland. Will you take it? If you are a sensible woman you will. Vi- bration is so easy to employ, so wonderfully effective, so unexcelled in bringing quick beauty returns that it is a wonder to me that more women do not possess that marvelous little instrument—a vibrator. Why wander wearily along, with your beauty goal many months away, when by employing vibration you can overcome such defects as a flat bosom, a wrinkled skin, hollow cheeks, a double chin, scanty hair, and a host of other beauty ailments, in no time at all, comparatively speaking. Here’s the Secret A Daily Treatment from a Vibrator will develop your physical and mental energy in a large degree, thus enabling you to go about your daily duties or pleasures wholeheartedly. Vibration is decidedly worth while. Don’t you think it would be a wise idea to abandon your pet beauty meth- ods for a time and give vibration a chance to make you young and beautiful? Once you acquire the vibrator habit you will become an enthusiast, I know. “Exactly what is vibration?” some one asks. That is a very pertinent question. To be explicit, vibration is a mechanical knead- ing and stroking of the flesh. As a result the circulation is stimulated, contracted muscles relaxed, flabby muscular walls toned up, and the tissues restored to a nor- mal condition. Just think of that! with pallid cheeks who likes them not, avail yourself of vibration. It will send the slug- gish blood coursing through your veins, rac- ing to all parts of your system. After two or If You Are the Little Maid Beauty Is Yours Through Vibration Page Forty-four LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. three brief treatments you will have the exquisite joy of seeing your cheeks one flame of scarlet. Should your pores be torpid and filled with those dark specks called blackheads, you cannot do better than to run a vibrator hither and thither over your face for ten minutes daily, until your skin is painted a deep red and the lazy pores are working overtime, as it were, setting their houses in order. Blackheads cannot exist where the pores are stimulated to do their duty by vibration. Before applying the vibrator to your face, it would be well to cover the skin with vibrator cream, as it is of great assistance in this work of freeing the pores from their unsightly contents. It is Most Distressing to a Woman to have her face or body dotted with pimples, consequently those so afflicted should fly to vibration as a means of delivery from their beauty trouble. In what way does vibration improve the condition of a pimply skin? It causes the blood to circulate rapidly, thus carrying- off poisonous deposits; and applied to the stomach, hips, back and breast, will be the means of relieving constipation, which is the chief cause of blotchy, un- sightly skins. This should be good news to those of my readers who are so unfortunate as to have the beauty of their skin marred by ugly eruptions. If your chin looks like a pudding, and you have tried many methods of banishing this unwanted flesh without success attending your efforts, forsake old beauty aids for the nonce and give vibration a trial. The re- sults will astonish you. __ Before Beginning This Treatment the chin should be wrapped in hot, wet cloths for several minutes, then a greaseless cream should be rubbed in, after which the ball applicator is passed heavily over the flesh, starting at the tip of the chin and moving downward to the collar bone. The entire treatment with the vibrator should not extend over ten minutes. This is a simple way of breaking down the fatty tissues underneath the chin and one that should appeal to the woman who has no time for lengthy, expensive beauty treatments. This same treatment can be given to other fleshy parts of the body and with equally good results. After the fat has been dispersed by the magic of vibration, you must take immediate measures to tighten the relaxed Vibration Will Help Keep You Young Page Forty-five LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. skin. This is accomplished by bathing the skin with some good astringent Such a one is given below: Tincture of Benzoin 15 drops Hamamelis water 15 drops Orange-flower water 1 ounce Care must be taken not to overdo when employing vibration, when the purpose is to build up the tissues and restore tone to sagging muscles. Now I Must Tell You Exactly how vibration is used when it is in- tended to act as a wrinkle remover. First, of course, the face and neck are cleansed thoroughly with hot water and olive oil. Then, after they have been thoroughly rinsed in lukewarm water, a tissue builder is rubbed into the face and neck and shoulders. You now apply the vibrator delicately to the various wrinkles, bearing down very lightly indeed and remembering to move it in small circles across the unbeautiful furrows. It won’t be many seconds before the blood will be coursing madly through disused channels, and the skin will glow with health and vitality. This is the way to fill out hollow cheeks, sunken temples and wrinkles. Easy, isn’t it? There is no Longer Any Need to Worry when the hair grows scanty or dull hued, as vibration has been proved to be invaluable for stimulating a healthy growth of hair. It is much more effective than finger massage and does not call for such an expenditure of time and strength. Massage with a good electric vibrator is a million times better than massage with the hands, for it is much more powerful. Vibra- tion brings the blood to the scalp and once you succeed in doing this, your hair troubles are over for good and all. A daily treatment with the vibrator will soon result in a new crop of hair—and there are other benefits the scalp derives from vibration. It will, if employed correctly, remove dand- ruff, and by bringing the oil ducts into a normal condition prevents the hair from becoming unpleasantly dry or excessively oily. Best of all, or at least some of you will think, vibration brings about a speedy development of the bust. There is no excuse for being flat- chested. Instead of investing in nerve tonics and flesh foods, hie you away and buy a Vibrator. They are comparatively inexpensive, easy to use, and no woman need fear to lose her good looks who possesses one .of these beauty-giving instruments. Vibration Is Death To Wrinkles And Crows’ Feet Page Forty-six LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The Equipment of Your Bathroom is not complete without an Electric Vibrator. A treatment daily is both refreshing and invigorating. It stimulates the circulation and instantly gives that natural healthy and rosy complexion so different from that ob- tained by powder or face lotions. It enables the man of the house to secure a face and scalp massage which is so restful and beneficial after shaving. A White Cross Electric Vibrator is an indispensable article for health and happiness in every home. Guard Against Old Age By Using a Vibrator Now Page For ty- seven LINDSTROM, SftlTH CO. CHICAGO. How to Acquire a Beautiful Head of Hair A fine head of hair carefully kept and arranged to conform with the face and head redeems the plainest, and thereby adds to their attractive- ness. A neglected head of hair eliminates the personal beauty of a woman and decreases the personality of a man. Therefore the care of the hair should be given just as much attention as the face. Nothing Better For Scalp Than Massage For stimulating healthy growth of the hair vibration has long proved to be the leading agent. Long before the vibrator was invented people aided the growth of the hair by rubbing with the fingers. Every scalp scientist admits that nothing is better for the scalp than massage. And massage with an electric vibrator, as you know, is many times better than massage with the hands, for it is more powerful. The vibrator brings the blood to the scalp, and the blood brings the food that is necessary for the hair. A woman who uses a White Cross Electric Vibrator for a few minutes now and then may be reasonably sure of a strong, healthy growth of hair. Every Profession has taken advantage of this great stimulating agent. Everybody knows that all first-class barber shops, hair dressers and beauty shops are now using one or more vibrators for giving scalp and facial treatment. They have probably paid from $50 to $150 for their machines, but are not able to give as beneficial treatment as can be obtained by the White Cross Elec- tric Vibrator in your own home, with the aid of our directions. Applied to the Scalp it will clean it thoroughly, remove dandruff, exercise and nourish the follicles of the hair and increase circulation. To prevent baldness and falling hair it is necessary to keep up good circulation. This can best and quickest be done with our Electric Vibrator. Vibration brings proper circulation to the scalp. If your hair is begin- ning to fall out use vibration, as it brings the life-giving fluid to the spot where it belongs. If the scalp is healthy keep it healthy by vibrating it vigorously two or three times a week. A Beautiful Head of Hair Is a Woman's Crown of Glory Pajje Forty-eight LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The Quest for Beauty BY LAURA N. COOKE (Reprinted from Pictorial Review, February, 1912) Almost every beauty specialist in the country will recommend facial massage as a beautifier; but many women do not do this successfully at home. They find it either too much trouble or cannot get the “trick” of doing it just right. This is one reason why the vibrator is found in so many homes; for it is used by the women who want to keep young with the least possible effort on their own part. But not only for this purpose is it found in the average up-to-date home. When you have that nasty twinge in your knee from rheumatism, apply the vibrator and it will rest the ache for a time—perhaps drive it away altogether. Applied to a bruise it frequently takes out the soreness; in fact, it becomes a household doctor which you can always have at hand. The woman who lives at any great distance from the city or within a long call of the physician, turns to many new inventions that are now on the market to help her in her household work and cares. And so she has looked well into the curative powers of vibration which have been well known in Europe for years. It has long been used by beauty experts in all large American cities, but not until lately has it become an almost necessary article in the up-to-date medicine closet of the deep thinking woman. To Relieve Bad Headaches These little machines represent mechanical massage, and the effect on your head when it seems to be splitting with pain is often remarkable. Women who suffer from habitual backaches find it a great salvation, for applied to the spine when the ache is there it starts up the circulation and gives new life to the tired and over-wrought nerves. There are really so many uses for the vibrator that no woman can afford not to look into them—particularly a woman who is head of a family. If you have reached that dreaded age where youth is slip- ping by and, when you look very sharply at yourself, you see tiny wrinkles appearing around your eyes, then it is time to apply the vibrator. Do not wait until the wrinkles are so deep that nothing short of a miracle will fill them up. Unless your case has gone too long without care and atten- tion, the persistent use of the vibrator will scare away the wrinkles and leave your skin glowing with healthy, active blood. Facial Massage Is a Beautifier Page Forty-nine LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. May be you have no wrinkles but are burdened with pimples. Nothing is so unattractive in a woman as a blotched and scarred skin. Put your faith in the vibrator and use the special massage attachment which comes with all the dependable makes. As in any other treatment you must not expect to be cured in one application; but keep it up for several days, and then look for an improvement. If you would be willing to spend ten min- utes every day applying vibratory massage you would be amply repaid. Complexions Made Clear As a rule blackheads come from indigestion and the clogging up of the pores of the skin, and it is just as well to help along by going on a diet for a few days, leaving off all greasy foods, pastries and other sweets. Oranges are said to he excellent for the complexion, and outdoor exercise is almost a necessity. In applying the vibrator to the skin, the circulation is stimulated and each pore is instilled with new life. They are opened up and thus the waste matter is thrown off and your complexion becomes clear and smooth. If Nature did not make you really beautiful, you can help her along by making the best of what she did give to you. If you are willing to spend the time and use the appliances which have lately been dis- covered, you need not be homely. Reduce Your Flesh As a means of reducing flesh the vibrator has been a great find in this age when only slim figures are correct. For the too ponderous flesh there comes another attachment. The treatment is slightly different from that which is used for clearing up the complexion. This particular attachment is pressed upon the too fleshy parts much harder than that used upon the face, and the treatment should last for at least ten minutes every day. In some instances, heavy double chins have been reduced to a very great extent by using this method. The treatment seems to disperse the fat from all parts of the body. If used on the abdomen nothing further will be necessary; but if used on the face and double chin, it is well after using this to apply an astringent lotion which will draw together the skin and thus do away with any tendency to flabbiness. On the other hand, contradictory as it may seem, this home vibrator will help increase the size of your bust; so those of you who are flat chested will be interested in it. The idea is that it starts up the circulation, and • will put into action certain muscles which you have not developed. Re- member that it is not only the right and the wish, but the duty of every woman to make herself as attractive as she can, and if the vibrator will help you, you cannot afford to disregard its offer. Vibration Is The Foundation Of All Existence Page Fifty LINDSTROM. SMITH CO. CHICAGO. The vibrator used on the scalp has worked wonders in many cases. Just as the pores of the face fill up and the circulation is slow in the face, so it is often in the scalp, and by applying this electrical massage you start up the circulation and open the pores. If the vibrator is applied correctly it will remove dandruff, which every one knows is the cause of falling hair and many other scalp troubles. Men Should be Interested The men in the home are just as much interested in this little machine as the women, and well they may be, for the man of today does not want to be bald if he can arrest it by applying a vibrator every night for a few minutes before he retires. How often does a man come home at night with a terrific headache and over-wrought nerves? Well, the next time he does come home in this con- dition, let him try the vibrator on his forehead for about five minutes, and then when he picks up his paper he will be able to read, and his nerves will be relaxed to a great extent. And the vibrator does not belong to mother alone. It may help to cure the “kiddie’s” knee when he has fallen down and bruised it, and it might make big sister’s hair long and luxuriant, as you all want it to be. Possibly it will cure father's headache and relieve his tired nerves after the hard days’ work, and it is sure to do a great deal toward keeping mother young and beautiful. And when you think how cheaply a vibrator can be bought you wonder there is not one in every home. Why Rely Upon Old Methods? Do not let yourself fall into the habit of employing only those methods that your mother used fifty years ago. Rather think the matter over and realize how hampered she was before these modern inventions were put on the market to help the busy mother and wife. With one make of these home vibrators it is possible to attach the instrument to a chair and take a treatment sitting down while you enjoy the health-giving sensation of the vibrations which course through your system. These vibration chairs are used in many of the large hospitals and sanitariums where nervous diseases are treated, and you can give yourself just such treatment at home. Think what this means to the tired mother who has to dress up for company and be cheerful after a day’s hard work! She can steal a few moments from her long, long day, sit down in the chair and take a short treatment, and then relax on the bed for a few moments more. At the end of a half-hour she will be able to meet new emergencies, new tasks, with a dififerent and more energetic manner. The vibrator is really the best cure I know for that very frequent com- plaint, “that tired feeling.” You Can Turn Time Backward and Be Youthful Again Page Fifty-one LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Electric Treatment Has proved of great value and has benefited a good many diseases, and for this reason we have designed some of our Vibrators so that they also give Electricity. Every first-class physician has an electric battery, and we sell a good many of ours to doctors and sanitariums for giving Electric Treatments as well as Vibration. The illustration shows how the Galvanic current can be ap- plied to the head. It can also be applied to the eyes, ears or any part of the body. This is a mild flowing current. It does not give any undesirable shocks. Our out- fits are made so that the current can be interrupted by the oper- ator at will. The peculiarity of the Galvanic current enables one to test it in the mouth when it is applied to the head and face. Our machines give a true Gal- vanic current. The Vibrators Nos. 8 and 18, give also both the Galvanic and Faradic electricity. Showing How Galvanic Electric Treatment Is Taken with Nos. 5, 8 and 18 Outfits. The Electric Belt Fraud Electricity has been much misrepresented for years by so-called electric belts, which have to be dipped in vinegar and which unscrupulous firms have advertised heavily and imposed on ignorant people. Even some mail order houses are still selling these belts as high as $30.00. They know that they are worthless, but they are after the money. We are delighted to see that some of the Health Journals, among which is the Physical Cul- ture (see July, 1907, number, pages 4 and 5), ARE NOW EXPOSING THIS FRAUD, which has robbed the people of millions of dollars every year. The current of the electric belt lasts but a few seconds and does no good. It is like giving a thirsty man but a single drop of water. You have never seen a respectable physician use an electric belt in his' office or even recommend it to his patient, but you see thousands who use both electric batteries and vibrators. You have never seen a book which was intended to be sold to physicians that endorsed electric belts, but we have four large books on Vibration listed in this catalogue which have been published to sell to physicians only, but which we or any medical book store will sell you on receipt of the price. The Faradic current is really a massage to the nerves and muscles of the body, but in order to do any good the Faradic coil has to be made on a scientific principle and wound with very fine long insulated wire in order to give a high voltage and best medical results. Cheap electric medical batteries are of no medical value and you never see a physician use them. Electricity and Vibration With Our Combination Outfits Page Fifty-two LINDSTROM, SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Electricity and Vibration Electricity has been used many years, and people were benefited by electricity before they even knew what it was. In ancient times women would carry their babies to pools of water, which contained what was known as an electric fish, and by the power of electricity many of them were benefited and it is claimed they were relieved. Vibration is a Great Factor in many inventions of today. The vibration of the Violet Rays is about 100,000,000 per second. The vibration of the telephone receiver is about 6,000,000 per second. Wireless telegraphy is vibration. Vibration is one of the greatest stimulating agents ever discovered, and has been used suc- cessfully in treating diseases where failures previously had been made in using other methods. Do not compare our celebrated Electric Vibrators with cheap “cure- all’' medicines. Vibration is founded on fact and scientific principles; with- out vibration there could be no life. The trees need vibration to grow strong and hardy; placed where there is no vibration, the young tree soon decays and dies. Blood circulates through the human body because of vibration. Without vibration man would cease to live; vibration in the human system means vigor. The man or woman who has the most natural vibration is stronger and healthier. The keenest brain is the brain that vibrates the fastest. Tests have proved that the vibration of brains such as Webster’s was from 10 to 50 times greater than the vibrations of the brains of the laborer. In every ray of light there is vibration ; in every sound that comes to the ear there is vibration, and in every object we see there is vibration. Vibra- tion is life and he who has the most natural vibration is he who lives the longest. The White Cross Electric Vibrator aids in supplying the life-giving vibration to those who do not have sufficient natural vibration. Weak men are quickly benefited through Vibration and Electricity in our machine. Do not spend hundreds of dollars for poisonous drugs any longer when you can get the benefit of these natural powers at such a small cost. Vibration Controls the Universe Endorsed by Thousands of Users Page Fifty-three LINDSTROM, SM.ITH CO. CHICAGO. Help in Selecting a Vibrator If You Have Electricity in Your House We would recommend our Nos. 24, 26, 29 and 31 Outfits as the best selections. The Nos. 24 and 26 are designed for family use. The No. 29 is designed for Hairdressers, Beauty Parlors and Barbers, and the No. 31 for Physicians, Hospitals and Sanitariums. Anyone can, however, use these last two mentioned machines as they are very simple in construction and easily taken care of by the aid of our directions. The No. 29 has more applicators than the No. 26 and the No. 31 gives heavier vibration than the others. It also gives a mild (therapeutic) elec- tric current through its current controller, when wanted. The No. 18 operates on both the commercial house current and on its own cells. This outfit gives besides Vibration, both Faradic and Galvanic electricity. The vibrating chair can also be operated by this outfit. If You Have Not Electricity in Your House The Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 or 8 can be used to good advantage, as they are operated by dry batteries which are furnished w ith each instrument. When the batteries are exhausted new ones can be easily replaced by anyone. The No. 1 machine gives Vibration alone, and is strong enough for light body as well as for facial and scalp massage. The No. 2 machine gives mechanical vibration alone, and is strong enough for heavy body massage and for making a vibrating chair. It has also more applicators than No. 1. The No. 3 machine gives mechanical Vibration alone. It gives very powerful Vibration, with wide speed variation. An ideal machine for professional people. The No. 5 gives both Vibration and Galvanic Electricity. It also has a set of Electrodes for taking Galvanic treatments. The electric motor is also of a higher grade than in No. 3. The No. 8 gives both Vibration, Galvanic and Faradic Electricity. The Faradic Electricity is strong enough for several persons at the same time. With this machine the Vibration and Electricity can be taken at the same time, if wanted. Electric baths can also be taken through this outfit. It also has more applicators and more electrodes than the No. 5. The electric needle can be operated on this outfit and is very convenient for those who want to use it for removing superfluous hair and other facial blemishes. It has also an Electric Lamp for Throat, Ear or Nose examination. Cost of Operation If the Dry Cell Machines are operated according- to our directions, the treatments will not cost over two cents each, and in most cases less. The treatments with the commercial current machines will cost less than half a cent for each treatment. This is a small cost compared with the cost of treatments in sanitariums, where they charge from $1.00 to $3.00 for each treatment. It can easily be seen that a few treatments will pay for a machine.

Dear Sirs:—I have been laid up with rheuma- tism in my feet since November 6th, 1911, and have been only able to walk with the aid_ of a cane. Since using your Vibrator I have laid my cane aside and can hardly feel the effects of my sickness. I am so well pleased with the result I have received from the machine that I hereby give you the right to use this as my word of praise for your Vibrator. I am yours for health, ALFRED G. GRAVES, Office Secy. Y. M. C. A. Rheumatism Lindstrom, Smith Co. Cherokee, Iowa. Gentlemen:—I am very much pleased with my Vibrator. It surely is a great rheumatic reliever. I have been laid up with rheumatism in my knee and ankle for the last two winters and could not work. This winter I have not missed a day, and I think it is because I have used the White Cross Electric Vibrator. I have a sister that has had rheumatism for the last month. She was over and I gave her several treatments, which gave her relief, but that is not like having one yourself and taking a treat- ment in the morning when rising, for that is when the joints are stiffest; therefore she is con- templating purchasing one herself. Another nice thing about the Vibrator is a nice massage every Sunday after shaving, on which you save 35 cents, which would soon buy a Vibrator. Yours very truly, 421 Roosevelt Ave. WILL J. LEEDS. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Arkansas City, Kan. Gentlemen:—It has been some time since I re- ceived the No. 8 Vibrator arrived in good shape. Have used it daily. Would not take anything for it if I knew I could not procure another. I feel greatly benefited already from using it for rheumatism and nervous rouble. Respectfully, MRS. O. L. NASH.

Yours very truly, MRS. S. B. IIOWER. R. No. 3, Care A. Jansen. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Del Rio, Tex. Gentlemen:—I am very much pleased with the Vibrator No. 2. It has done me a world of good. My rheumatism has almost entirely gone and my face muscles are getting firmer and fill- ing out my face so nicely. I am delighted with that alone, to say nothing of other benefits. Very truly yours, MISS R. O. DARDEN. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Erie, Pa. Gentlemen:—I have made a call on a man about 60 years old who had rheumatism very bad and could not step on his foot. Called on Saturday afternoon and Sunday he phoned me that he could work on the following Monday. So the cure seems almost magic. I have an- other patient who has catarrhal trouble, a dis- charging ear, and he thinks the treatment is fine and helpful. Yours very truly, 210 W. 8th St. MRS. W. R. BAKER. North Andover, Mass. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Gentlemen:—Vibrator has been and I wish to state that the muscles of my wife’s right hand became contracted, and the fingers all drew up.

Gentlemen:—Since writing you I have been in Chicago and purchased one of your No. 2 Vibra- tors and wish to say we are well pleased with it. We are using the Vibrator for rheumatism and scalp treatment and are finding it beneficial. Yours very truly, 2614 Gilboa Ave. W. R. BOYLES. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Charleston, S. C. Gentlemen:—I believe the Vibrator saved my life or at least a serious illness. I was not only suffering from rheumatism, but worn out from overwork. While not yet as well as I should like to be, I am like a different woman. Very truly yours, MRS. ANNIE M. MANIGAULT. 20 Council St. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Washington, D. C.

Lindstrom, Smith Co. Holyoke, Mass. Gentlemen:—I am just as pleased with the Vibrator today as when I wrote you last. My rheumatism and neuritis never gets the best of the Vibrator. Mr. Judd gets great relief from rheumatism in his feet. The White Cross Electric Vibrator is all right. I have used it two and a half years and it is today in perfect condition. I have the No. 31 and could recommend that number. Sincerely, MRS. W. O. JUDD. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Abbotsford, B. C., Can. Gentlemen:—I received White Cross Electric Vibrator No. 8 just a week ago. Am perfectly satisfied with same so far. The Vibrator relieved my wife of rheumatism in the knee. My neighbors are all much excited and surprised at my wife walking within two days without the support of a chair by use of Vibrator, as she could not walk alone. Yours very truly, Lindstrom, Smith Co. Burr Oak, Kan. Gentlemen:—I am at Burr Oak, Kan., and have been out to see a few of my friends and to give some trial treatments with your Vibrator for rheumatism and one of my friends says the Vibrator helped her so much that I sold it to her.

Washington St. Lindstrom, Smith Co. San Antonio, Texas. Gentlemen:—I received my Vibrator and it is just fine. I have been treating my father for rheumatism and he is much improved. I also treated a child the other day that could not put its foot down on the floor and after I had treated him twice, it could walk all over the house. I will send for some more applicators soon. Everything is O. K. Yours very truly, 229 Iowa St. MISS N. L. POWELL. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Clements, Cal. Dear Sirs:—I purchased from your firm about one year ago a No. 2 Vibrator. We are more than pleased with it, as it has done great things for me. I had rheumatism in most parts of my body and it has almost disappeared., My stomach was in a very bad condition and my circulation was poor, but now I seldom have cold extremities. Yours very truly, MRS. JOS. LIEGEL. Rheumatism And Gout Are Relieved By Vibration Page Eighty-four LINDSTROM., SMITH CO. CHICAGO. Spine Urbana, 111. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Gentlemen:—Mr. Smith was shot in the spine about a year ago. The doctors gave him fifteen days to live, but he is still on deck. While un- able to walk, he is lifted out of bed into an invalid chair and goes all around. He is a contractor and does considerable business, has between 25 and 30 men under his charge. Since I loaned him my Vibrator he is using it on his spine. He and his doctor tell me he is gaining strength in the wounded part and hopes to recover through the use of the Vibrator. Yours very truly, 105 Cohen Bldg. CHARLES M. APP. Memphis, Tenn. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Gentlemen:—I have read your book and the papers through carefully, but before I get one of your vibrating machines I would like to get your advice. We have a daughter that had spinal meningitis when a baby. She is now 23 years old, but can’t walk. She does not seem to suffer any only by sitting most of the time. It looks as if the trouble was the base of her spine. Then she is nervous, too; so we engaged a doctor to treat her and he has a Vibrator like yours and the use of that helps my daughter so much and since we have the electric light in the house, I thought if we could make her a vibrating chair that would perhaps be the best thing with the No. 26 machine. Yours very truly, MRS. AUGUSTA KUEHN. 789 Richmond Ave. Falls of Schuylkill, Pa. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Dear Sirs:—I received your No. 8 Electric Vibrator July 4, 1909, and as I had been ill for at least three years, knew it would be some time before I could expect any great results from same (my trouble was mostly my back or spine), and now I wish to tell you that I am more than pleased with the way it has helped me. Of course, am not entirely well yet, but if the Vibrator keeps up its good work, expect to be some day— something I thought impossible before using your wonderful Vibrator. 3431 Cresson St. MRS. O. HARRISON. San Francisco, Cal. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Gentlemen:—I contracted a cold some three weeks ago which settled and formed my neck as stiff as a piece of iron, but I got it out of my neck by vibrating two times a day. I got rid of it in four days. Machine runs as good as the first day. Respectfully, 376 Bartlett St. G. A. HERZOG. Tired Feeling Lindstrom, Smith Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Gentlemen:—I would not take the price I gave for the Vibrator if I could not get another. The benefit I have received for my eyesight and bron- chial trouble is of great value. The Vibrating Chair is fine for that tired, exhausted feeling. As far as I have used the Vibrator I can speak in favorable terms. Respectfully yours, MRS. R. A. HAMBLETON. 24 Rhode Island St. Stillwater, N. Y. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Gentlemen:—I have received your favor with enclosures and am glad to tell you that the Vibrator No. 26, after being joined to our elec- tric supply, works with plenty of strength and power. An old-time headache of mine was ban- ished as if by magic, and there is no place for “that tired feeling” when No. 26 gets to work. All my family has been giving it a trial and the verdict is all one way—the No. 26 fills the bill satisfactorily. Please accept thanks for courteous treatment and your businesslike methods of dealing with your patrons. Yours very respectfully, O. T. BOSTWICK. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Marseilles, 111. Dear Sirs:—So many people have remarked upon the improvement in my appearance, even persons who see me every day, that I am con- vinced your Vibrators will work wonders and I have quite lost the tired, depressed feeling which so often bothered me, and I also have a good healthy color since using the Vibrator. Wishing you every success, I remain, Yours sincerely, KATHERINE E. BAER. Lindstrom, Smith Co. St. Marys. Pa.

Yours very truly, Box 18. JOE GEITNER. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Detroit, Mich. Gentlemen:—We received our No. 4 Vibrator in good order and are very much pleased with it. We are feeling a difference already, after using it about six times. I had such pains in my arms I could hardly do my house work, but feel the good effect of the Vibrator already, as the pains are not half as bad as they were. My husband has good results to report also, as he suffers from bronchial trouble and a bad cough, also poor circulation; but he feels a good deal relieved. I never thought he would be able to work again, but now he hardly coughs any more and went to work yesterday. The Vibrator is helping him wonderfully. Sincerely yours, 281 Alger Av. MRS. C. F. KRAEMER. Lindstrom, Smith Co. Lake City, Minn. Gentlemen:—The machine works fine and am much pleased with it.

CHICAGO. Photograph of Our Booth At the Chicago Electrical Show “Suffering humanity or those suffering with ailments that are curable by vibra- tion and electricity, will find much to interest them at the booth where the White Cross Electric Vibrators are displayed, at the south end of the main hall. This Vibrator is the medium through which health and beauty may be obtained, and it is suitable for face, scalp and body massage. The Electric Vibrator is made by the Lindstrom, Smith Company of this city, and their advice is not to pour drugs into your stomach for a pain in the neck, arm, leg or back, for, they say, ‘the pain is not there.’ As most diseases are caused by congestion, and as vibration will remove congestion quicker than anything else, there is nothing wonderful to me in the fact that the White Cross Electric Vibrator is popular, not only in this community, but elsewhere. The Vibrator I speak of is no respector of persons, for it can be attached to any chair and every member of the household can receive the benefits of Vibration and Electricity, the best natural remedies known to science. When I stopped in front of this booth one of the attendants ran a Vibrator over my right shoulder, which was humping itself with rheumatic pains at that partic- ular moment. The sensation of the Vibrator was like pouring oil on troubled waters. As I am not in the business of giving personal testimonials, I cannot say that I shall always have a kindly recollection of the third annual electric show just on account of that brief session with the Electric Vibrator, and its soothing touch was on the surface of a thick overcoat at that. But if I was in the business of giving testimonials, that is what I would say. and swear to it if necessary,” writes Ralph Waldo in an account of his visit to the Electrical Show.—Reprint from the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
