Dear Doctor:-
Have you ever considered the value of vibration as a therapeutic measure in neaurologic involvements? There is a Dr. Frank Hassler in the Broadway Market Building this city, who has been using it for 15 years with phenominal results and he has invented a machine which raises vibration to the nth power.
All others are held in the hand of the manipulator while his, machine is fastened to the floor, run by an electric motor, has a rubber pad for massaging the body; and is certainly an advance over anything I have ever seen in my ninteen years experience,in calling on physicians.
His machine is pattented, no. 1121831. under title “massaging devices,”and you can see the design of it in the pattent office.
It is, to say the least, physiologic therapeutics without muscle or nerve fatigue.
Assuring you, doctor, that this is written in the hope that I might be of service to your distinguished patient, whom I regard as the greatest man of any age.
Sincerely yours,
Jas. A. Greene
Vice-President of the Southworth CO.,
