To close these cases with signal instance:---
''Somc time since Mrs. g., the wife OF Major General
c., Distinguished officer OF the United States regular
army, told me-" says tho General THAT one OF her
grandchildren little boy about eighteen months old,
from his birth had SO little use OF his legs that no
could neither crawl walk and was apparently so
enecblcd in those limbs that she began that
the child was permanently paraiyzed in them.
''fo obviate such an allicton she requested the

the most astounding and important in modern times.
Not much indeed because OF the extent Of the field
already covered By them or Of their number but bo-

title investigation and experiment, the possible results
OF which OF untold consequence TO humanity II is

profound character OF this remark will be appreciated
by all who recognize light the most potent agency
work IN the universe. The experiments made by
General Pcasonton their bearing upon this subject
will be commented upon in the HERALD when his
theories under review.
In order TO elicit their opinion upon this important
matter, the HERALD representative called upon largo
number OF the most eminent medical authorities IN

well founded he had made most important discovery

searching investigation and the widest and most caro-
