MEDICATED RUBBER GARMENTS. 



HiPF'OCRATES, ihe I'atlier of iiuilicinc. sriid, more tlian 2000 years 

 ago: "Corpulence is not only a disease itself, but is also the har- 

 binger of others." With this thought in mind Dr. Jeanne Walter 

 has invented and patented Medicated Rubber Undergarments for 

 the reduction ,of superfluous flesh. These 

 garments are made of pure india-rubber, 

 medicated according to a private formula of 

 Dr. Walter's. They produce the desired re- 

 sults by stimulating the 

 circulation, opening the 

 millions of pores of the 

 skin, and so encourage 

 elimination of the waste 

 products of the body by 

 the natural channels, 

 without effort an'i with- 

 out the denial of the 

 good things of life. In- 

 jurious after effects are 

 said, too. to be unknown. 

 Rather than being an im- 

 pediment to action, the 

 garments when worn in- 

 crease the pleasures and 

 benefits of exercise. 

 This, of course, is due to 

 the fact that the system 

 is relieved of the burden 

 of unhealthy fat and re- 

 stored circulation takes Garmknt i-or 

 place. When these new Men. 



conditions have been taken on the skin be- 

 comes firm and the complexion' clear. Gar- 

 ments for the reduction of superfluous flesh 

 for different parts of the body may be procured, including corset 

 belt, corsage, Eton jacket, hip belt, jacket and pants. The illustra- 

 tions show a long jacket, rubber garments for men. and a head 

 band. 'Hie jacket, while its primary purpose is not forgotten, is a 

 remedial agent in reducing a too high temperature and encouraging 

 the elimination of poisonous matter from the system in case of 

 pneumonia, asthma, or other congestive conditions of the lungs. 

 The garments for men illustrate the belt for reducing corpulence, 

 the knee bandages and ankle bandages. The support which these 

 bandages give afford a relief for rheumatic aft'ections and stiff- 

 ness of the limbs otherwise induced. The bead band and chin 

 strap is a specific for the unwelcome double chin. Tliis is to be 

 worn at night and is used for its medicinal properties as well as 

 for restoring the lines of the face. The band across the forehead 

 reinoves wrinkles and relieves headache. [Dr. Jeanne Walter.

RUBBER CEMENT OR PASTE. 



Gei.atixe. glycerine, white gum, and rubber constitute the body 

 of a paste and cement whose adhesive properties are indisputable. 

 It is made in flat cakes of convenient form and size, and requires 

 no melting, simply having to be moistened as it is used. For 

 china which is not to be subjected to constant applications of hot 

 water, is it said to give excellent results when used for repairing, 

 and for mending torn papers, a seam so neat may be made that it 

 almost defies detection. While this is used by many as a substi- 

 tute for paste, mucilage, glue, etc.. its chief claim to merit is the 

 absolute neatness and security with which a torn leaf may be 

 mended without the use of an underlay. [Lawrence & Tliomas.

A NON-SLIPPING CUSHION TREAD. 



The detachable head for boots and shoes patented by Nahum 

 T. Busby, of Boston, is designed to present an anti-slipping sur-

face that will be yielding when in use, the yielding and resilient 

 use being produced by other means than the resilient quality in- 

 herent in the material. 

 The sole consists of an in- 

 closing outer rim or wall 

 of solid rubber, adapted to 

 receive stiches or nails for 

 attaching it to the sole. 

 Located within and filling 

 the space within this rim 

 or wall is a tread surface, 

 formed of a mixture oi 

 flexible rubber or cement 

 and a gritty substance, the 

 same being oval or cup 

 shaped, to provide a pro- 

 jecting tread surface and 

 to leave an intervening 

 space between it and the 

 shoe sole. Located in this 

 space centrally and trans- 

 versely of the sole is a xr ,- -r-

 bridge, formed of clear 



rubber and cemented or otherwise attached to the inner surface 

 of the tread portion. The bridge is formed with two transverse 

 r.ii'-cd portions, forming an intervening saucer shaped space, and 

 has a broad area of contact with the tread that gradually merges 

 into narrow lines of contact with the .shoe sole. In respect to a 

 heel tread, the construction is substantially the same. In use the 

 anti-slipping treads receive the whole wear, the bridges forming 

 not only a reinforce for the treads, but also acting to additionally 



cushion the tread.

CLOTH LINED RUBBER GOODS. 



There is a demand now for the cloth lined water bottle, 

 syringe, and combination that ensures a future popularity of 

 which the present demand is but the beginning. The "Wearever" 

 is one of the makes that is much in favor, it being light, strong, 

 and durable, a trio of qualities early looked for in the purchase of 

 a water bottle. The Wearevers are made with smooth or ribbed 

 surface and come in maroon, non-blooming and white. The foun- 

 tain syringes have tubing to match and come with soft finish, 

 while the combination water bottle and syringe have the rapid 

 flow attachment, also to match. These goods bear the guarantee 

 of The Faultless Rubber Co.. by whom they are manufactured 

 at Ashland, Ohio. 



SWEDISH MASSAGE AND BATH BELT. 



.\n aid to health and beauty is said to be the Swedish Massage 

 and Bath Belt. It is made of rubber sponge, and running through 

 it is red rubber belting extending beyond the ends of the belt, 

 and to its ends are attached black hard rubber rings. These are 

 of a convenient size for holding while applying the belt for fric- 

 tion creating purposes, in which lies the secret of the claims that

are made for it, for use either in connection with the bath or in 

 the massage movements. It is convenient in size, ea.sy to manipu- 

 late, and has the advantage of bringing both hands and arms into 

 action, thereby adding to the artificial means of gaining health and 

 beauty by exercise. [The Hanover Rubber Co., Hanover-Limmer.
