practice, is used to cover practically every integral part of the automobile. In the association known as the Motor and Accessory Manufacturers, embracing most of the larger makers of automobile parts and fittings in the United States, there are some two hundred and seventy members, manufacturing everything from frames, bodies, motors, and axles to lap-robes, lights, and lubricants. A good many standard makes of cars are assembled rather than built, the frame being made by a manufacturer specializing in frames, the motor being designed and constructed by a manufacturer specializing in motors; just as in practically all cars such parts, for instance, as the electrical equipment, the carbureters, and the speed indicators and warning signals are furnished by makers specializing in exactly those particular parts. When one reflects that the accessory business of this country represents to-day a capitalization of approximately one billion dollars, one realizes that this industry alone has grown in the past few

years to a position of both National and international importance. Yet, although crank shafts, connecting rods, and bearings are accessories in the strictest sense of the word, the average motorist would probably limit the definition of this term to devices which make motoring safer, easier, more pleasant, eliminating arbitrarily those accessories which, being fundamental parts of the car itself, might be said to be devices which make motoring possible in the first place. Inasmuch as this brief article is written for the average automobilist, we shall accept his definition without further quibbling.

Considered as contrivances to make motoring safer, easier, and more pleasant,

the accessories on the market to-day-the accessories which may be bought either with a car or for a car-are responsible, perhaps, for most of the comforts which motoring offers. Strip a car of its accessories (using again the average motorist's definition), and you will have a machine that will run; it will carry you from place to place, but it will do little else, except demonstrate how much those various devices have meant to you.

Take tires, for example. Of course every machine comes equipped with tires, yet tires are accessories in every sense of the word. You have a certain freedom of choice in selecting the make and type with which your car is originally fitted; you have entire independence when the time at last comes for buying new shoes and tubes. For even the best tire will ultimately wear

In tires, perhaps more than in any other form of accessory, the progress of recent years has been most notable. Tire trouble, that ancient bane of every motorist's existence, has been cut down to what is apparently its irreducible minimum. Both tubes and shoes are better than they used to be; better designed, better made, and containing better, more perfectly balanced materials. And not only that, but the old nightmare of tire-changing has largely been eliminated. Demountable rims and quickly changed spare wheels have taken care of that.

Tires themselves are not only more serviceable than of old, but are also more efficiently adapted to meet actual road conditions. Great attention has been given to perfecting the design of treads, and the result is a tribute to science and American industry. In fact, so far has the development of tire design been carried that it is possible to-day for the owner of any make or weight of car to buy from any one of a number of manufacturers a tire that will be exactly suited to that car for any given service, road, or climatic condition; a tire made of the soundest, sturdiest materials, standing up in a way which a number of years ago would have been thought incredible. The romance of rubber, of treating it and adapting it to offer a genuine resistance to the wear and tear of the road, is one of the dramatic industrial romances of the century.

The History of

The Internal Bath

By Charles A. Tyrrell, M. D.

[blocks in formation]

Though popularly supposed to be a comparatively modern practice, its usage, in a crude form, is traceable many centuries back, for Pliny in his Naturalis Historia, A. D. 1518, mentions it as being prescribed by the Ancient Egyptian Physicians to whom its investigation was suggested by the health habits of the Ibis, a bird of the Nile.

These Egyptian Physicians, by the way, were the first medical practitioners known to history, not excepting the Chinese.

And the ancient Egyptians, measured by their accomplishments, seem to have been a pretty healthy, husky people.

Although history does not give much light on the subject in more recent periods, it does mention a widespread use of this treatment throughout Europe in the early part of the Eighteenth Century, especially in France.

The recent resuscitation of this ancient remedial practice dates back to the early forties, when Dr. A. Wilford Hall of New York, after years of public speaking and the authorship of many religious and scientific works, failed in health, rapidly declined and was given by his physicians but a few months to live.

Dr. Hall was not a Doctor of Medicine, but of Philosophy and Laws, and a man of the highest knowledge and attainments. I knew him very well in later years and he frequently said: "Having had considerable trouble in that way, the idea came to me like an inspiration that if I could keep the colon cleansed of waste matter, I would have at least a better chance of recovery."

Dr. Hall persisted in this treatment, using the crude and laborious method of a bulb syringe, and from that time until his death at the generous age of eighty-two, forty odd years after he had been given up, did his utmost to give the world the benefit of his personal experience.

I arrived in New York City in 1887 after an extended trip through India, China and Japan, and unwisely invested my entire capital in a commercial venture which failed.

More or less indifferent attention to my physical condition and the shock of this experience brought on a second stroke of paralysis on the left side (the first having occurred previously in Hong Kong).

Being helpless I became an inmate of a hospital for a time; was then refused admission to another and fortunately knowing of some of the results of Internal Bathing I resorted to it regularly with such success that in 60 days I was walking about the city.

Impressed by the fact, however, that the method of taking these baths was then crude and imperfect I decided to study, practice and improve on it.

To do this properly and legally I quickly found that I would have to become a Doctor of Medicine.

Entering immediately a medical college, I took the four years' course and graduated with honors.

Not at all a bad commentary on the results of Internal Bathing, considering my condition the year before entering.

After graduating, I found my experience exactly akin to all those who must educate the public, especially in a matter where most of us are so notoriously careless-Irregularity,

But I knew from the experience of myself and others that the foundation of a great and revolutionary, though perfectly natural remedy was there.

And that once its results were generally known no power could stop its rapid and universal appreciation.

And so I persevered.

From the smallest of beginnings I found that every J. B. L. Cascade which I distributed brought me demand for othersthat once the proper administering of the Internal Bath accomplished its result with one patient, he was generously eager to pass his experience along.

And so it grew, and has grown so astoundingly in the past twenty years that I heartily agree with Physicians generally when they claim that "the vast majority of human illnesses are directly or indirectly caused by accumulated waste in the colon.

That also is the direct cause of our frequent loss of spirits and lack of confidence; in other words, our fifty per cent of effi ciency.

You will never appreciate this properly except in the clear, eager, confident way you will always feel the morning after an Internal Bath.

In the twenty-five years of my specializing on this Nature's remedy there have devel oped, as you may imagine, many informing and interesting phases of this treatment. The result of these years of research and practical experience has been summed up in a little book, "The What, The Why, The Way of Internal Bathing," which will gladly send to any interested person free on request.

Just address Chas. A. Tyrrell, M. D., 134 West 65th St., New York, mentioning that you read this in THE OUTLOOK, and the book will go forward by return mail.

Of course we all want to be well and efficient and stay so without calling upon Drugs to help, if that be possible. There are, as I have said, hundreds of thousands

who are already doing this by this purely

natural preventative, and the numbers are steadily growing. So it may be that in your own interest it would be well to send for this little book today while it is still on your mind.

The Value of Automobile Accessories (Continued) automobile accessories would be a herculean task, demanding volumes of print; and for that reason this article can do no more than give an outline of the practical value of what may perhaps be called the more established of these devices. These seem to fall into three general classes: first, those that make for safety; second,. those that make for easier, more pleasant, driving; and, third, those that make for comfort and convenience.

Of the devices that could well bear the motto "Safety First," tire chains, glareless headlights, brake linings, and fire extinguishers are accessories which no motorist should overlook. Tire chains, the first of these, are admittedly essential. They hold the car from slipping and skidding under road conditions in which no other device has proved truly effective. They snap on easily, they cause a minimum of wear on the tires because of the fact that their semi-loose method of attachment allows them to creep slightly with each revolution of the wheel, thus putting the grip on a different part of the tire each time; and, beyond all, they are not expensive. A car equipped with chains on all four wheels will run as if it were on rails, even on the smoothest pavement and in the wettest, slipperiest weather.

Glareless headlights are a far more recent development than tire chains, but they have already proved themselves. The old-fashioned searchlight, while undeniably effective, possessed two strong and oft-reiterated counts against it: it tended to illuminate a path straight ahead, and straight ahead only; and it tended to blind the eyes of approaching drivers. Cities and towns rapidly forbade the use of such a pathfinder, and the need for devising some other solution of the headlight problem became increasingly apparent. Much experimentation resulted-and finally bore fruit in the multiple-lens lamp.

This new type of headlight, made to-day in a number of forms, gives actually more light than the searchlight, yet holds the light down on the road where it belongs. No light is wasted up in the air; and on a level roadway the beams extend no higher than from three to four feet above the ground. In addition, the sides of the road are thoroughly illuminated, giving a wide path of even lighting. The principle on which these lamps are made is that of the multiple prism or lens; you can look into them without winking, yet they give an illumination of remarkable intensity. And they do away with the double danger of too much glare from the ordinary headlight and of too little light when a dimmer is in use. In certain models a special glass is even used, absorbing the violet rays and giving a beam which tends to show grass and other things in their true colors.

The brake-lining question is another which has long engaged the attention of careful drivers. Motorists have come to realize how all-important the brake lining is, not only for their own safety, but for that of others on the road and in city streets. The brake lining is the actual thing that does the work, or rather bears the brunt of stopping the car; and the demand for a lining that will wear like

iron and yet possess the necessary fabric qualities has brought to the front a number of thoroughly dependable products. Asbestos and similar materials are favored; and it is now possible for the car-owner to insist upon his machine's being equipped

The Value of Automobile Accessories (Continued) with a brake lining that will give real brake service until it is finally worn to its last thin shred.

Then the matter of fire danger has been reduced to the final point where a little sensible precaution will render a disastrous automobile blaze almost impossible. A handy, light little extinguisher may be bought at any supply store, together with a neat bracket to hold it in place; and this extinguisher will handle any incipient fire that can start in a car-even the oil and gasoline fires which used to be so danger

ous.

Horns and other warning signals have also been standardized-and in the main greatly reduced in price-and every careful motorist to-day has his car equipped with a horn or signal that really warns, and that can be heard either above the din of traffic or for a reasonable distance on the open road.

Of the accessories which make for easier, more pleasant driving the number is apparently legion. One may buy a car equipped or one may equip a car already bought with any number of vital conveniences which beyond all controversy have proved their worth. Among these might perhaps be mentioned electric equipment for starting and lighting, shock absorbers, special radiators to give increased efficiency in various ways, magnetos, lubricating oils for particular conditions and uses, batteries, spark plugs, wire wheels, demountable rims, and many other devices.

So much has been said and written about electric starting and lighting systems, and so thoroughly have they been demonstrated in both value and convenience, that any discussion here would be little more than repetition. Let it suffice to say that the owner of any car not so equipped can secure, at an extremely reasonable cost, an electric system for starting his motor and running his lights which will introduce him immediately to a new world of motoring luxury. The motor starts, even in the coldest weather, with the mere pressing of a button; the lights go on or off at will in the same easy way. Such a system once used-a reliable one, that is, secured from a well-known and established maker-will never be given up. It means too much.

Shock absorbers are in somewhat the same category. While many cars are furnished equipped with these road smoothers, driving conditions will sometimes demand additional spring-easing equipment; and with some cars the selection and application of shock absorbers are left entirely to the buyer. The generally uncertain character of American roads led directly to an early effort toward a perfect solution of the spring-control problem, and for this reason, perhaps more than for any other, the shockabsorbing devices now on the American market represent the height of mechanical and engineering efficiency. Any carowner can go to a reliable manufacturerand the more reliable ones are generally well known by name and for a comparatively small outlay equip his machine with shock absorbers which will give the maximum riding ease on any roads, and which will stand up amazingly under the severest road conditions. More than this the motorist cannot ask.

Batteries, magnetos, carbureters, spark plugs-all these devices are offered as accessories to render the performance of any car a little better than perhaps it has been. Certain cars, most cars undoubtedly, are

With a great deal more Comfort into the Bargain!

Open space all around this big 10 room house. And in a part of the country where the mercury tries to drop clear through the glass in winter. Makes no difference to the Williamson UNDERFEED, though. A fifty dollar coal-saving and more comfort in spite of it all. Read the letter: "Mine is a ten-room house, and always cost me over $100 to heat with the old boiler. This winter cost $50 with the UNDERFEED, and we had a great deal more comfort, 72 or over in the coldest weather. A fuel saver, time saver and dirt saver." (Signed) DR. W. J. MORGAN, Mineral Point, Wis.

WILLIAMSON UNDERFEED Ter.

Cut Coal Bille 2 to 3 Guaranteed

Please let this fact sink in: A 2 to 3 saving in coal cost is actually guaranteed with the Williamson UNDERFEED, whether you heat with warm air, hot water, steam or vapor. That is partly because the UNDERFEED burns the cheaper grades of coal as effectively as others burn the costlier grades. That's a big saving at the very outset money you save by keeping it in your pocket. Another reason is the scientific principle of combustion. In the UNDERFEED coal is fed from below. The hot, clean fire is always on top-never smothered or chilled by fresh coal being dumped on. All smoke, soot and gas must pass up through the fire and so be transformed into clean, usable, effective heat. No waste whatever. No clinkers. No partly burned coal. No soot-encrusted pipes.

Money-Saving Book Free

And a boy of twelve can operate the UNDERFEED successfully. No stooping. All done from a standing position.

There's an interesting book "From Overfed to UNDERFEED" which pictures and describes it all. Frce for the asking. Simply send coupon. It will save you many a dollar when you come to install that new heating system. Remember, to coal cost actually guaranteed with a Williamson Underfeed. Send the coupon, now.

What 15c Your Nation's Capital Will

The little matter of 15c in stamps or coin will bring you the Pathfinder 13 weeks on trial. The Pathfinder is an illustrated weekly, published at the Nation's Center, for the Nation; a paper that prints all the news of the world and that tells the truth and only the truth; now in its 23d year. This paper fills the bill without emptying the purse; it costs but $1 a year. If you want to keep posted on what is going on in the world, at the least expense of time or money, this is your means. If you want a paper in your home which is sincere, reliable, entertaining, wholesome, the Pathfinder is yours. If you would appreciate a paper which puts everything clearly, fairly; briefly-here it is. Send 15c to show that you might like such a paper, and we will send the Pathfinder on probation 13 weeks. The 15c does not repay us but we are glad to invest in New Friends. The Pathfinder, Box 37, Washington, D. C.

The Value of Automobile Accessories (Continued) turned out fully equipped with the best and most reliable of these accessories; but the owner of a car not so equipped-or the owner who has some personal preference or crankism-can have them fitted at little expense and with much resultant satisfaction. A good set of batteries, a good magneto, a good spark plug and carbureter how essential each one of these is to the kind of performance every motorist hopes for and wants! The better batteries of nowadays give more power, last longer, and defy the breakdowns which only a few years ago caused such trouble. Magnetos are more dependable and efficient too, infinitely better adapted than of old to actual motoring conditions. And the same general thing may be said about spark plugs and carbureters.

Even lubricating oils an item of far greater importance than the novice would imagine have been developed to the point. where there is now a lubricant for every conceivable mechanical purpose and every condition of climate and driving need. The oils and greases of to-day really contain the minimum of carbon which was so long heralded in advertising claims; and no matter what kind of car you have you can now buy the right lubricant for every part with the full assurance that it is going to do its specified work in the most efficient possible way. Gasoline, too, is rapidly being standardized, so that in most sections know exactly what he is putting into his of the country to-day the motorist can

From such accessories as these we come to the devices which make for creature

comforts and convenience. Here again the number is almost untold. Speed indicators should possibly come under the previous class of accessories which have more directly to do with the actual running of the car; but the modern speed indicator is so soundly made, so reliable and efficient in its work, that its use seems to make fundamentally for a condition of mind which brings it straight into the comfort column. To have one's car equipped with a special shock-absorbing fender or bumper (and the equipment costs little when compared to the satisfaction it gives) would seem also to be a matter of comfort.
