    Dr. Engelbrectson: Not in fractures. In the consideration of the treatment of joints I covered that point in my paper. Q. Can one not get pretty good massage from the use of an ordinary vibrator? Dr. Engelbrectson: You can in some cases, but you cannot direct it to any certain point, you cannot confine it to any certain point; you are liable to get stimulation where you do not want it, and it is impossible to get the kind of stimulation you want in certain parts. In the case of healthy tissues, where stimulation is needed the vibrator is all right.
