White Cross Electric Vibrator used every day will work wonders in your condition and appearance. A few minutes with it at night before retiring starts the sluggish circulation into action and a restful, healthful night’s sleep is secured. Pain is often produced by pressure upon the nerves. This may be caused by different materials which are not carried off, but are crowded in the tissues, acting as poisons, or by direct pressure upon the nerves connected with the seat of the pain. Stimulation by vibration helps to dissipate these poisons and pain is relieved without poisoning the body with drugs and opiates. INDIGESTION TREATMENT. Stimulates and invigorates the digestive organs to a healthy normal action. A prominent physician has said that at least 95 per cent of cases of constipation, whether chronic or acute, will be greatly benefited by vibratory stimulation. FOR THE COMPLEXION. Most women and men could greatly improve their complexion if they paid a little attention to their health and skin. Beauty does not consist of perfect features; there can be no beauty without health. The White Cross Electric Vibrator circulates the blood and improves the complexion. IMPORTANT NOTICE. Prices quoted on outfits are for voltages up to 120 volts. When ordering state voltage and cycles machine is to be operated on and whether direct or alternating current. When to be operated on voltages above 120 up to 220 or over special winding is necessary for which a charge will be made of $1.00 net for each vibrator. |
