There are two conditions however whichin my experience in many cases, seem for the most part to react betterto vibratory treatment than to electricity, and these are obesity andconstipation. Patience and persistency in treatment are necessary, butthe appHed mechanical energy seems to have an especially beneiicialinfluence in hastening the consumption of fat. In chronic constipation,mechanical vibratory effects may be compared to the effects of vibra-. Fig. 247.—Vibratory Applications by means of the Electric Motor,
