ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR WOMEN
GET UP AND LEAVE YOUR WEIGHT BEHIND The electric chair has not hitherto been regarded as a very healthy thing, but there is one at the New Health Exhibition in London which, despite its sinister resemblance to the chair of electrocution, has quite a beneficient mission in life. Its object is to assist in the fashionable cult of the day by making women slimmer, and it is claimed that ten minutes of its vibratory massage is the equivalent' of an hour’s horse riding or some other strenuous exercise. Used regularly for a couple of months it has enabled one seventeen-stone woman to lose nearly one-sixth of her “ too solid flesh.” The treatment is regarded by the medical profession not merely us a safe method of reducing excessive weight but as a practical and pleasant way. The exhibition shows the public how to live, what to eat. what to wear, and how to keep clean, and there arc lectures and demonstrations by Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, Dr Saloeby, Sir Frank Colyor, Lieutenant Muller, and Mr E. R. fillligan, the former English cricket captain.
