USING A MASSAGE MACHINE Squeezlnc of Bulb Makes Rod Work Like Piston Plunger Rapidly Moved Back and Forth. A compact and effective massage machine that 1b operated by hand Is shown in tho Illustration. It was de signed by a Philadelphia man. Tho apparatus works on tho same prin ciple as the piston rod of an engine. A driving shaft Is pivoted in the cyl inder and Is driven by compressed air forced Into the cylinder by squeez ing tho- big rubber bulb on the eud of the latter. The plunger Is thus rapidly moved back and forth. On the &tts!k-i rrrt?. Massage Machine. i other end of this plunger is a rubber suction cup and this cup acts like all suction massage devices, taking hold and letting go ofvthe flesh as tho plunger approaches and recedes. The advantage ot this llttlo machine is that tho user noed not press down with tho cup, as In somo makes, and then pull It loose each time. All he has to do is to keep on squeezing the bulb and tho piston rod will do tho rest. ODD VEHICLE FOR INVALIDS Wheels Are Revolved by Stumping Up and Down on Pedals Works on Principle of Bicycle.
