BY BRITISH SCIENTIST ASTOUNDING TRIUMPH OVER INFIRMITIES Remarkably Successful Method That Promises Better Health For All— —and Longer Life ! OVER 3000 NEW ZEALAND USERS OBTAIN WONDERFUL RESULTS Medical Men, the Press, and the general public cannot fail to be deeply interested in the news of an important health treatment, of equal benefit to the Invalid and the Athlete, the Old and Young. The fact that the new health method Jgl announced to-day is entirely independent of drugs adds | of the research and experiments of a well-known British If jHB scientist ensures it receiving the careful attention it deserves. f ' Few men are better entitled to a hearing when they speak on the subject of Health and well-being than Mr. O. Overbeck, F.C.S., F.P.C. (Lond.), etc., the wellknown British scientist, for Mr. Overbeck, at 73 years of age, is a marvel of physical fitness and mental alertness, whereas before he began to probe into the true cause of ill-health he was given up by his doctor as a dying man. When, therefore, Mr. Overbeck announces a new health method that promises to banish a host of intractable disorders, strengthen weak constitutions, and to give the elderly a new lease of life, his words have behind them a weight of authority and experience that compels attention. Mr. Overbeck's life has been one long romance of scientific research and discovery. And apart from his studies of the electric structure of the human bodystudies which have led to the invention of the Rejuvenator Mr. Overbeck has carried out experiments for many years on plant life, and has proved that the growth and fecundity of plants respond in the most amazing way to a mild continuous current of electricity. ROMANCE OF OLD MAN'S RECOVERY OF HEALTH AND VIGOUR. Mr. Overbeck's oVvn case Is such an object lesson for all that we cannot do better than give a simple, straightforward account of how he himself achieved the apparent miracle of a "come back" from the infirmities of old age to the height of physical and mental vigour. Ten years ago, prematurely worn out by a life devoted to scientific research, Mr. Overbeck was the picture of a decrepit old man on the verge of the grave. WANING VITAL ENERGY. His interests in life had been as many-coloured as Joseph's coat, but he clung to them witji all the tenacity of a man who knows in his heart that he ought to resign himself to the easy chair and slippers of old age. Bui, though a devoted and skilful pianist, he was compelled to give up playing anything that called for brilliancy of execution, owing to the severe palpitation that immediately followed the playing of a rapid piece of music. And, though an enthusiastic horticulturist, he soon found that to stoop down and put a plant in the ground was to risk a heart attack that might prove fatal. Ills hair.jneantime, had gone suddenly white and was extremely scanty, his face was deeply lined, and his blood pressure abnormally high. AN EXPERIMENT —AND ITS MAGIC RESULT. Concerned at the rapid thinning and whitening of his hair, Mr. Overbeck s thoughts turned to electrical stimulalion, lie began experimenting, lbs first efforts were not very successful. Then the Idea came to him that if electricity is to be of real lasting benefit, it must be absorbed without sensation. .just as it is absorbed from the food we eat. The cells must, in very truth, be fed with the electrical current. The upshot was the patent of an electrical instrument constructed on entirely new lines. He tried it first on his hair. The result was magical. Not only did his hair rapidly grow thicker and darker in colour, but Ills mental faculties became greatly invigorated: every day he found himself getting stronger, the rheumatism that had plagued him for some time disappeared, as well as the kidney trouble from which he had been a chronic sufferer: his eyesight, improved to such an extent that lie was soon able to give up the spectacles he had worn for years; and before long he was able to resume a normal life of active work. FAVOURABLE OPINION OF MEDICAL MEN. Many medical men are now recommending the Overbeck and using it themselves. It is contrary to medical etiquette to mention their names, but ttie following authentic reports are from prominent members of the profession, who have given the instrument, a thorough trial, and speak from their personal knowledge. "The Rejuvenator has been beneficial in a case of muscular atrophy of the legs after severe illness, and personally I have used it on my bald head, and I am certainly gradually getting a good crop of hair, for wntch I am very thankful and pleased." (Signed) Dr. . M.D., Af.B., G.M., F.R.C.S. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS: The Press, not only -of the Empire, but of many foreign countries also, has drawn attention to Mr. Overbeok's remarkable pronouncement: The " Daily News," describing a demonstration of the Rejuvenator given by Mr. Overbeck at the Savoy Hotel, London, said: —"Mr. \V. J. Womersley, M.P., who presided, said that he had known Mr. Overbeck for many years, and during the last two or three years his health and appearance had Improved wonderfully." "Health and Efficiency" (the leading health magazine) says:—"The Overbeck Rejuvenator is well so called, because the extraordinary difference in his own and other people's appearances, palpable to everybody, has been so marked after using the process." STRIKING MEDICAL ENDORSEMENT OF NEW OVERBECK THERAPY. Etablissement Aerotherapique, 17 Rue des Pyramides, Paris. Dear Sirs, — ... In mv opinion, the use of the OVERBECK REJUVENATOR is necessary for healthy as well as for ill people, in the same way as any other hygienic practice. By its graduated current of galvanisation, this apparatus acts powerfully on the tissues, the organs, nervous centres, and, consequently, on the nutrition, circulation and dis-intoxication. There is the whole secret of its action, and it is not presumptuous to rest assured that the regular use of the. OVERBECK REJUVENATOR can and must give remarkable results, as much in the maintenance of health as during the constant struggle which sops on between health and sudden attack of illness with the stealthy offensive of premature decay, too often hidden by the pleasures and enjoyments of life.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE TO OLD ANI) YOUNG. Chantry House, Grimsby. " This brief message is one of hope to those whose youth has left them, those who suffer from nervous or other constitutional disorders, those who feel that their grip on life is slipping, end to those still young who have begun to wonder how long the energy so essential to their happiness ana prosperity will remain with them. My own recovery from en apparently hopeless illness may help to show how easy it is for us to renew our youth and jregain our lost health. In 1921 I was en old man. My heart was weak, and I suffered from * chronic kidney trouble. The Doctor had told me to make my will, and I dared not stoop down or indulge In any vigorous activity lest a heart attack should end my life. a But to-day I have the strength and vitality of a young man. I have renewed my youth by a new method that floods the cells of the body with energy, end creates new cells to replace those which are worn out and y an active life, both physical and intellectual, finds me literally unbrable. What this heelth-renewing process has dome for mt, it will do for as countless letters pouring in to me from all parts of the world abundantly prove. . The invalid and the athlete, the old and the young, alike must bjmefit by a health method thet charges the whole system with energy and vitality. Finally, may I offer you my be.twi.he. forycurheaUh end many year. in which to enjoy both." (Signed) O. C. J. G. L. OVERBECK..
