Fry represented England at both cricket and football and made an FA Cup final appearance for Southampton FC as well as equalling the long jump world record of the time. A.L.S., C. B. Fry, one page, 8vo, Strand, London, 8th December 1905, to Mr. J. E. Garratt, on the printed stationery of C. B. Fry's Magazine. Fry informs his correspondent that he is 'aware of the value of the principle of Vibration in the treatment of athletic accidents' and further comments 'Your Vee Dee Vibrator is a wonderful mechanical device for putting in to use…..I am pleased to recommend the Vibrator as of very real value'. With blank integral leaf (slight traces of former mounting to the verso). Some light foxing, largely to the edges, and with a received date stamp in the upper margin. G J. E. Garratt's vibrator, of which an example is held in the collection of the Science Museum in London, claimed to cure colds, digestive complaints and flatulence through 'curative vibration'.
