AN ELECTRICAL PNEUMONIA JACKET 

 Modern treatment of pneumonia and Iuuh con.yestions pre- 

 >cribes the use of the penunionia jacket, .^n improved form is 



the "Vit-O-Net" pncu- 



monia jacket, which is 

 an evolution of this 

 treatment that, the maker 

 claims, has won the ap- 

 proval and endorsement 

 nf physicians who have 

 used it. It is lined with 

 rubberized cloth and is 

 placed next to the body 

 of the patient. It con- 

 tains over 200 feet of a 

 specially constructed, 

 non-corrosive wire and 

 it utilizes connection 

 with an ordinary electric 

 light socket to attain a 

 warmth of from 110 to 

 130 degrees, according -i'lT-O-XcT" Pm:umoxi\ jAncET 



to conditions. The warmth is uniform around the entire thorax 

 and is believed to dissolve and liquefy the congestive secretions 

 in the lungs and to help to neutralize the waste, thus aiding 

 nature to add to the patient's reserve strength. — The Vitnnet

effects connection between shaft and butt. .A special feature of 

 the vulcanite butt is that it is not affected by moisture from the 

 bands, as it does not stain or discolor. It cannot warp or crack 

 in use, is perfectly smooth, and in the opinion of some experts 

 a delicate balance can be more easily attained by using a cue 

 with a vulcanite butt. — The Hrunswick-Balke-Collendor Co.. 623-
