REMOVE EXCESS FJT
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
VIK.NN'A, Nov. 21. The
scrub brush has been Intro-
duced In Vienna in a new
role that of flesh reducer.
The idea was brought hero
by a South American doc-
tor and has made a con-
sideralile rub in overweight
circles.
The scrubbing treatment
with a perfectly dry brush,
a trifle softer than tho kit-
chen variety, must bo tak-
en four or five times a day.
The more the better. Kv-
cry part of tho body must
be mnssaged and as much
pressure as possible applied
to make the work of the
bristles effective. After the
rubbing, a cold or tepid
shower or plunge should be
taken. If these directions
are carried out. the enthus-
lasts say, n pound or so of
"excess" disappears like
liuiBie every week.
