Show EASY TO INCREASE HBIOHT. Apparatus That Will Accomplish Task Recently Patented. The Ilertlilon system has received a oail blow In the demonstration of the fact that a person runy to A ory arret extent change his ph)lcal proportions pro-portions 1'oMat Inspettor William William attached tu the Ilrairr lol offlcc. has taken It on himself t show tow this could be done, and some time nKii he subjected hlmwlf to an utamlnntlon and then storteil In on n systematic scheme for the purpose of brlnKlnis about such chanecs In his general rhiw and apeaniiie as to pr make It dllllcult tu Identify him by tbo measurements preluusly made by tbo Ilertlilon system, which wvro thought to be Infallible. At the tlma of thu first examination Mr. Williams weighed IPO pounds and measured S feet 2 Inches, and after going through n snmevhat prolonged rourso of training train-ing he weighed 110 pounds nnd mens-tiled mens-tiled D feet K Inches In blight. Tho system of ph)slcal niltiiro taken up by Mr. Williams In hla experiment was that of loosening thu hones In their anckela nnd allowing tho spaco where the) were pulled apart at tho Joints to fill with cartilage, lly this method the body Is lengthened with out oerdeelopment of tho muscles, such as Is tho case In physical training train-ing adopted by nthletes Then In order to effectually prove his ground that the Ilertlilon system wss worthless, Williams submitted himself to arrest In several different cities where thu system was mado use of In tho Identification of crlmh sals and In no caso was ho reeognltcd by tho original record. Tho ability to Increase tho height was tho ono thing which broko down tho certainty of tho Ilertlilon sstcm. An apparatus to produce tbli In creased height was recently awarded a patent nnd a drawing of tho Instrument Instru-ment Is shown herewith. In a fow words, tho subject la placed on a sort of a rock, with tho bead and feet so-curcly so-curcly fastened, and by the application applica-tion of a screw tho subject Is lltorally stretched. Ily undergoing this opera Hon at regular Intervals It Is said to b possible to mako oven greater ad dltloua to tho height than Mr. Will lams succeeded In doing. |
