ELIXIR OF LIFE MACHINE

Patents have been taken out for a machine which, it is claimed, will cure functional disorders of the body, will make a man of sixty years feel like a man of thirty, will banish pain, smooth out- wrinkles, and grow hair on bald heads. Air Otto C. J. Overbank, a scientific chemist, of Grimsby. England, is the inventor. “The root idea o! my rejuvenating electrical Instrument, liesaid to a Daily Express representative., “is that human life is governed by electrical energy. The brain is the accumulator of tin- body, and if the brain can be filled artifh 1 nllW w-'itli electricity, the art ilk in 1 electricity will make up tor the loss of natural energy. 1 made my first discovery by experimenting with the sixpenny battery oi an electric, torch and a coil nl brass wire. Elderly members of an East Coast golf club have practised with the prejuvenalur, and their handicap lias been halved, and tiic-v oun play three rounds as against two formerly." The new apparatus consists of electrical batteries with metal combs like miniature horse curry-combs attached to the terminals. Five minutes' combing of the scalp night and nun ning. the inventor claims, will soon make a veteran sing in his hath. W In-re there are bodily disorders, the affected parts have to he combed after the head has been groomed with electricity. Ihe electric current flows from the teeth of the combs into the brain and re-charges the human accumulator. Appliances tor reaching pain spots like' a troublesome tooth are supplied with the apparatus.
