Th* Review of Reviews, 



The following article (which appearedln our June issue) and the o^er contained therein, was found so interest- 

 ing and acceptable to our readers that the mahers of the Veedee Vibrator have, on our suggestion, agreed for it 

 to be reprinted, and to allow their offer thus onct more to be placed before readers of the " Review of Reviews." 



The Late W. T. STEAD'S Advice 



To the Makers of THE WORLD'S BEST HEALTH-GIVING INVENTION, 



THE VEEDEE 



*' I know all about the principle [of Curative Vibration], for I learnt it from the Veedee. I have got a Veedee at home 

 which has lain handy on a shelf in my library for the last five years . . . Noblesse Oblige ! What right has he [the 

 Veedee maker] to keep such a light under a bushel ? Why does he not . . . enable the general public to see what 

 the Veedee can do, compared with other machines ? Perhaps the Veedee maker may say that good wine needs no 

 bush, to which may be repeated the profane saying of Voltaire that even the Bon Dieu could not do without reclame 

 as he needed a belfry in every parish to remind people of his existence." 



W. T. Stead— "The Virtue of Mechanical Massage," Review of Reviews, March, 1911. 



When the late W. T. Stead believed in a thing, 

 he was not content till all the world knew about it. 

 That \ery big-heartedness and universal sympathy 

 that won him the love of all with whom he came in 

 personal contact, led him, directly he saw that 

 anybody's business was genuinely useful and sound, 

 tu make it his own as far as inspirat'on, advice, 

 and genuine help could go. 



He knew the Veedee through perscnally using 

 and owning one for years. The occasion of his 

 writing the above was when he was asked to 

 endorse and recommend a wouUi-lx^ imitator of 

 Ihe genuine original Veedee \'ibrator which was 

 thfu h-'ing largely and sensationally advertised, 

 but w liich has since apparentlv entirclv drojjjx'd 

 out. 



Nor only in the above-quoted Re\iew ©f 

 RKXitiw.s article, but on more than one occasion 

 ill |H-rs(wal conversation with the maker of the 

 Veedre, did Mr. Stead urge upon him the desir- 

 ability of his making the vaiualile inv<Mition moie 

 generally known to the world — known, not to the 

 classes only, but to the masses. 



It is in keeping w-ith Mr. Stead's ad\ice that 

 this article, to make the nature, scope, use, and 

 value of the \''eed(_*e and Veedee \'ibralion more 

 generally known and ir'-ed, is written and 

 published. 



WHAT IT IS. 



The \'eedee is a small h.-md-power machine, 

 weighing about 20 oz. It is made of the finest 

 steel, and is beautifully plated in nickel tiirougli- 

 ouf. It is held in one hand and the small crank 

 handle is turned with the o\\\p\-. A plate fixed 

 rigidly to the frainework is applied to any part 

 of the body. By turning the crank an adjustable, 

 eccentric fly-wheel is set in rapid revolution at the 

 I nd of the machine. One turn of the crank makes 

 liie fly-wheel revolve 50 times. Thus a speed of 

 <S,ooo revolutions per minute can be generated 

 if desired. These revolutions of the eccentric fly- 

 wheel cause the framework, of the machine to 

 vibrate, and in turn these vibrations are trans- 

 mitted to the body. 



WHAT IT DOES — AND WHY. 



The Veedee pours a stream of delightful thrill 

 right through any limb, muscle, or bodily organ 

 at will — a stream of health-and-strength-givjng 



vitality, stopping pain in two or three minutes, and 

 permanently curing most bodily troubles in a few 

 regular treatments. In many cases the effects of 

 the \'eedee seem almost miraculous. The \'eedee
