THE REACTIONARY LIFTER,
A Portable, Compact, Graceful, and Ele- gant Apparatus for
The health-lift reduced to a science
The Reactionary Lifter was sold by the Health-Lift Company of New York as a muscle exercise and strength-building device, suitable for men and women. A testimonial letter by Holmes appears in this marketing brochure: “My three months’ experience of the Health Lift has been entirely satisfactory.
It furnishes a concentrated form of exercise which I have found salutary, agreeable and exhilarating. It calls the blood into the muscles and leaves them ready for further action, so that I have found myself more disposed to take a long walk after four or five lifts than before.
I may add that the particular apparatus used at your rooms, ‘The Reactionary Lifter,’ is a most ingenious, convenient, compact and serviceable arrangement, by which the lifter’s own weight is made to do service, and by an easy and simple adjustment of leverage, to furnish a resistance to be overcome, all the way from 20 to 1000 pounds and more.”

MANN'S REACTIONARY LIFTER
Is the most remarkable apparatus ever invented for
HEALTH EXERCISE. NO WEIGHTS USED.
While adapted to the powers of the athlete, it is equally so to women and children, or to persons in the most delicate state of health.
A few minutes' exercise each day is sufficient, and if taken at night induces refreshing sleep.
It is at once more beautiful, compact, and durable, besides being much cheaper, than any other good Apparatus for similar purposes.
Call and see it, at the REACTIONARY LIFTER OFFICE, 365 Broadway, New York. Books and cir- culars sent free on application.

What is the Health-Lift, and what does it do? are Questions daily asked.
Hear Dr. REILLY, of Chicago.
"THE HEALTH-LIFT is no longer an experiment, but an assured success as a mode of treatment. It is not merely a system of Exercise which aims to increase muscular strength and development: sawing wood will do this, and leave the sawyer as rheumatic or dyspeptic as before.
This system does not make large muscles, but firm nerves; it does not teach one to 'do the double trapeze,' but it enables him to do business more successfully and easily. It is nearer a specific for Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and many Disorders of the Brain and Nervous System than can be found in any drug-store. And it will as certainly cure these ailments, or materially alleviate them, as fire will warm the body. It is so simple, unpretending, and quiet in its operation that probably no system ever excited so much skepticism and incredulity before. stoutest adherents to-day were its most incredulous investigators at first."

Dr. Janes, of New York, says:"Where the difficulty is simple weakness; or where deformity exists; or where displacement of organs has resulted, from whatever cause; or where congestion, or unequal or torpid circulation deranges the system; or where pain exists, resulting from con- gestion or unequal nervous action; or where there is nervous debility, from over mental action or excess; or where digestion is impaired, or constipation exists, the powerful and beneficial action of graduated lifting speedily produces relief.
"In diseases peculiar to women, Lifting, by furnishing proper physical and mental stimulus, has proved most efficient as a method of cure."
"In short, by presenting an agreeable form of exercise, capable of so gentle application that the most delicate invalid can safely attempt it, and, on the other hand, becoming the most powerful agent known for physical culture and development, it is is available to all who need bodily exercise and who does not need it?"

THE CHEAPEST AND BEST APPARATUS FOR LIFTING.
Read what disinterested witnesses say.
"One of the great inventions of the day is 'Mann's Reactionary Lifter,' which enables a man to gain strength, health, and vital power by the simple process of lifting himself. That the lifting of heavy weights is the most scientific form of exercise for sedentary men ever invented is a fact which has been established by the consenting testimony of hundreds of our ablest physicians and scientists who have tried 'Butler's Lifting Cure.' Mr. Mann's Apparatus is certainly simpler, more convenient, and less expensive than the Butler machines. It is worthy the careful attention
and study of all who feel an interest in such machines."-N. Y. Evening Mail, Jan 4, 1871.
