This Marvelous Health Vibrator FOR MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD Relieves All Suffering Cures Disease It Is T h e Lambert Snyder Vibrator THERE IS ONLY ONE DISEASE—CONGESTION. THERE IS ONLY ONE CURE — CIRCULATION. When you hurt yourself you instinctively rub the spot. When your head aches you rub your temples. Why ? Because vibration is Nature’s own remedy, and rubbing is Nature’s crude way of creating vibrations and starting the blood to going. Disease is only another name for congestion. Where there is disease or pain there you will find the blood congested and stagnant. There can be no pain or disease where the red blood flows in a rich and steady stream. Good circulation means good health. Congested circulation means disease and pain. THE LAMBERT SNYDER VIBRATOR is the greatest medical discovery of the Twentieth Century, is a light, com­ pact instrument, weighs twenty ounces, can be operated by yourself with one hand by moving the steel head over the rigid steel rod? and can be placed in contact with any part of the body, and is capable of giving 50,000 vibrations per minute—100 times more than is possible with the most expert master of massage. It is Nature’s own remedy developed and concentrated, and With one minute’s use sends the red biood rushing into the congested parts, removing all disease and pain. ENDORSED BY' PHYSICIANS. The Lambert Snyder Vibrator is used and endorsed by noted physicians because it is based on scientific principles of health. It cures by removing the cause, forcing the red blood through the congested parts at once. Don’t pour drugs into your stom­ ach for a pain in the knee or back; the trouble is not there. WHAT IT DOES TO DISEASE AND PAIN. Rheumatism. Sciatica, Lumbago, Gout, etc., are caused by uric acid in the blood in the form of urate of soda. This acid, through poor circulation at some particular part, gets stopped on its way through the system and congregating, causes pain. Apply the Vibrator to the spot and you will relieve the congestion and get relief at once. Deafness, Heart Noises, Ringing in tlie Ears, in most cases, are caused by the thickening of the inner membrane through catarrh or colds. To cure this vibration is the only thing, as it is the only way to reach the inner ear drum and loosen up the hard wax or foreign matter, so sound may penetrate to the drum. Stomach Trouble, Inrtigestion, Constipation, etc., are caused by the food not properly digesting; it lacks necessary saliva and gastric juices, thus creating congestion in the stomach; forming gases, causing pains, bad breath, etc. Apply the Vibrator to the stomach; it settles the food down, i-eleases the gases, regulates the action and brings about relief instantly. THE LAMBERT SNYDER VIBRATOR will give marvelous results in the following cases: Locomotor Ataxia, Neurasthenia, Toothache, Sprains, Bronchitis, Paralysis, Goitre, Catarrh, Lameness, Hay Fever, W r ite r’s Cramp, Weak Eyes, Headaches, Pleu risy, Piles, Nervous Debility, Asthm a, Insom nia, Varicose Veins, Anæmia, N euralgia, Earache, Weak Heart. Varicocele, and early stages of Bright’s Disease, and a large number too numerous to mention. DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUST. An undeveloped bust is brought about by poor nourishment, tight lacing, or run down health. Apply the Vibrator a few minutes each day and your breast, neck and arms soon fill out and become firm, round and healthy. It forces the blood through the famished parts. A Few of Our Many Testimonials. No matter what town or city in the United States you live in, we can send you the names of satisfied customers who are using the Vibrator. I suffered from severe rheumatism, which made my hands and arms swell and caused me pain beyond description. 1 bought your Vibrator, and the first application of it reduced the swelling and conquered the pain so much that I was able to get a good night’s sleep. Since then I have stopped all medicines and use only the Vibrator. C. C. W a r r e n , 68 Virginia Avenue, Jersey City, N. J. Lam bert Synder Co. October 20, 1906. Gentlemen: I received your Vibrator and my hearing was so bad I could not hear a watch tick. I can now hear a watch tick holding it a distance from the ear and can hear sounds that I have not heard in years. I have spent a good deal of money for ear drums and other things, but your Vibrator has done me more good than them all. R o b e r t I r v in g , 122 Gooding Street, Lockport, N. Y. WARNING—Do not be imposed on by the free trial offer of the so-called battery Vibrators as they are worthless and only produce a slight oscillation. The Lambert Snyder Vibrator is the only Vibrator in the world that gives true Rhythmic Vibration, and we can prove it. Try our Vibrator for seven days—If It Bring.* Relief. If It Cures You, If It Does What We Claim for It— K EEP IT. If not, send it back and we will refund your money. FCR A LIMITED TIME WE WILL SELL OUR 95.00 VIBRATOR AT 92.00.

You can use this letter in any way you see fit, and refer any inquiries to me for I can highly recommend your treatment. I have given it a fair trial and find it is all you claim for it.

Without health life is a burden, with it comes joy and success. That removing the cause of disease by drugless and natural methods is looked upon with favor by the laity, as well as a large percentage of the profession, is an undisputed fact. During the past decade more earnest study and research has been accorded the treatment of disease by natural laws than any other curative force. Physicians, and many of them, have foresight to see that healing by natural methods has come to stay, and they have forsaken the deadly drug and substituted treatment by Nature’s own way. There are, no doubt, many readers of N autilus who do not enjoy a high efficiency of health, and this fact has prompted us tc make the following liberal offer : We have decided to combine our best selling book, “ Vitality,” written by the following authors, who are expert upon the subject treated : Chas. A. Tyrrell, M. D.; R. T. Trail, M. D ; Felix L. Oswald, M. D.; M. L. Holbrook, M. D.; M. J. Rodermund, M. D.; Paul von Boeck- mann, R. S.; and Susanne’W. Dodds, M. D. We will combine “ Vitality” and “ Health,” making the cost to you one-half less than under ordinary conditions. The third edition of “ Vitality ” is just off the press ; this is a recommendation in itself as regards the popularity of the book. The “ Health” magazine tells you how to secure and keep health through natural methods. It is not a crank publication, which fact accounts for its large and increasing circulation. It is edited by qualified medical practitioners who have made a special study of health build­ ing. It represents no sect or class and supports no narrow fads, but is a sane, broad and absorb­ ingly interesting monthly, publishing in the main health articles by specialists, wholesome fiction, and general articles appertaining to hygiene, every day problems and scientifical advancement along physiological lines. Our staff of editors consists of Dr. Charles A. Tyrrell, editor-in-chief, a New York physician, known throughout the world for his common-sense views on the treatment of disease and cultivation of health. Dr. C. S. Carr, associate editor, former editor of “ Medical Talk for the Home,” who contributes monthly. He is known throughout the country as a trenchant writer of home hygiene. Other regular contributors are C. Gilbert Fercival, M. D .; Prof. Anthony Barker, the widely-known physical culturist; Paul von Boeck- mann, former editor of “ Vim,” and many others whose writings are finding favor with the public.

'H E Reginaphone is a combination of the Regina Music Box and a talking machine. V The latter has the advantage of the superior motor of the Regina Music Box. The Regina­ phone provides a better talking machine without in any way interfering with its use as a music box, and the price is but little more than the music box would cost alone. This is worth con­ sidering, especially when holiday time comes and everybody is cudgeling his brains for appropriate presents, and when it is remembered that every­ one enjoys a Reginaphone. You will want to hear it first. Do so at a Regina store. There are Regina stores in nearly all important towns. If there isn’t one in your town, there is one in a nearby town. We will send you a list of the Regina dealers near you and a complete descriptive booklet on request.
