The Spalding Automatic Abdominal MasseurA Safe and Sure Cure for Constipation and Other Kindred AilmentsUseful for treatment of constipation, based upon the principle of muscular contraction (the force which nature uses). By its mechanical arrangement, it effectually applies force in the same direction that nature does, and will gradually discard the use of cathartics.

Its action upon the liver and stomach is equally as prompt and effective, and derangements of these organs are speedily remedied.N. E. cor. 15th and Locust Sts., Philadelphia, Pa.A. G.
