Tesla to Make Women More Fair
Nichola Tesla is said to have discovered what physicians and chemists know of course, that the skin of the human body is never clean, that in the city especially it is not only covered with inorganic waste constantly settling down upon it like coal smoke, for instance, but that it is the play ground of minute microb organisms that drop upon it from the poluted air and live and multiply. Then Mr. Tesla experimented with a big globe covered with paints. Through this he ran a powerful electric current which caused the paint to scale off, leaving the globe clean and fresh. That is practically what the wizard of the wire proposed to do with woman to make her more fair. He has devised a reclining chair upon which the subject lies perfectly nude. Two wet sponges are applied to her feet two to her arms, the current is turned on, it thrills, tingles and wakens the skin and then as the paint flashes from the glass globe, so fall from her all the dirt which covers the skin, so flutter away the hideous microbes, fairly shocked into quitting their hold. The skin becomes as the skin of a babe. It is as the fresh skin which replaces that which comes off from a scar or a burn, this is the discovery in a nutshell.
So far as external appearances goes there will be no more old men, old women if the use of this electric chair becomes general. Everyone will go down to his grave retaining all the outward appearance of blooming youth; there will be no more old men or old more sallow cheeks, no more hideous, deadly microbes which prey upon it.
