MAN KNOWLEDGE

THE EDITION OF 1900

'OR_the_past_nine months we have had a corps of editors at work revising

FOR

the Supplement to the Britannica and have now ready for delivery an entirely new edition which is superior to anything on the market.

Our 5 vols. of American Supplement double the value of the 9th edition

of the Britannica, BECAUSE our Supplement is UP-TO-DATE.

The contributions to the Supplement are not only fully equal in character to the original, but are of MUCH MORE PRACTICAL VALUE TO AMERICANS because they treat topics of interest to Americans.

Note the following contributors to the American Supplement:

Ex-Speaker THOMAS B. REED
CARDINAL GIBBONS

RABBI EMIL G. HIRSCH

MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD

Rev. Dr. J. L. WITHROW

And hundreds of others of like character and standing.

Accessibility

Although the Encyclopaedia Britannica treats something like 250,000 subjects, the matter is all so simply arranged that a mere youth can consult this great collection of human knowledge with perfect ease. All subjects are not only cleverly arranged alphabetically, but one entire volume of Index is given up solely to the names of subjects with the exact pages in the Britannica.

The "Guide" is a key to the systematic use of the Britannica and serves to suggest not only what you ought to know about your business or profession, but also gives the page in the Britannica where the topic can be found.

IT IS THE ONLY GENUINE

CABINET MADE.

HAS A REAL DOOR, opens wide -hinged to frame. Other Cabinets with socalled door are simply a hole or slit to crawl through. FRAMEWORK strong and rigid, made of best steel, galvanized to prevent its rusting. EIGHT UPRIGHTS support it from top to bottom. Some affairs on the market have no supports whatever, Cabinet rests on shoulders- others have 2 or 3 flimsy supports, shaky and unsatisfactory. DURABLE COVERING MATERIAL, very best, antiseptic clothRUBBER LINED. TOP CURTAINS open on top for cooling oft - Cabinets that do not do this are said to be dangerous. LARGE AND ROOMY INSIDE. Knees, arms and body do not touch the sides. Plenty of room for hot foot bath, and to sponge, towel and cool the body while inside. FOLDS FLAT like a screen in inch space-others crush together and damages the goods. WEIGHS complete only 10 pounds. EASILY CARRIED.

There is no Man, Woman or Child in the World
Whom Turkish and Vapor Cabinet Baths will not Benefit.

Seated on a chair (with the head outside breathing pure air) one enjoys at home for 3c each, all of the cleansing, curative, invigorating and purifying effects of the famous Turkish, Hot Air and Vapor baths, perfumed or mediLated if desired. Better and cheaper than any treatment at Turkish Bath Rooms, Sanitariums and Hot Springs.

SO SIMPLE TO OPERATE.

Before retiring, light stove, step in Cabinet, close and lock door, sit down and you enjoy a temperature of 100 to 150° F. according to how you regulate stove. All done in one minute. Stay in 15 to 30 minutes-open top curtains, cool off gradually while you sponge and towel the body. Impossible to catch cold or weaken the system. Perfectly safe and harmless.

DON'T BE DECEIVED

by imitations. We do not make it our business to find fault with other people's goods, but as there are a number of unreliable, irresponsible concerns who have sprung up in the past few months know nothing whatever of the laws of hygiene, and have no regard for the public health, are trying to market so-called Cabinets which are inconvenient, unreliable and dangerous to use, on the strength of satisfaction given, and the enormous demand created for our genuine Quaker, and as we have many letters from persons who have bought such goods, are unable to use them, and obliged to throw them away and secure a genuine Cabinet from us, we feel it our duty to warn the public so that no one else may be imposed upon.

If our Cabinet is not the best in every way we do not want you to keep it.

Don't use a Cabinet which has no door, no frame, no rubber lining. Remember a wooden frame Cabinet is ten years behind the times, is worthless, and about as valuable as a wooden stove would be.

Do not pay $7.50, $12.50 or $18.00 for inferior, bunglesome and inconvenient affairs when the best costs only $5.00.

Place your order with us and you have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing business with a responsible and reliable firm (capital $100,000.00) who know the requirements of a first-class Cabinet, do exactly as they agree and furnish you a genuine Cabinet, guaranteed to be the best in every particular.

Write to-day for full information and our valuable book, also testimonials from thousands of customers. Or, better still, order a Cabinet. You wont be deceived or disappointed as we guarantee every one, and refund your money after 30 days use if not just as represented. We ship the same day your order is received. DO NOT FAIL TO SEND FOR BOOKLET, as it will prove interesting.
