mentS. DR.. Simeon T. Newman is about
to enter upon some most interesting appli-
cations of the blue ray, but is at present
reticent regarding their nature. He states,
a benevolent act in giving the discovery, if
it may be so termed, to the world, for there
was little t. benefit him in it beyond the

Several other physicians were interviewed
by Republican reporter, and several in
stances of remarkable cures by means of
blue glass were CLEANED.
Many causes of nervous debility. neural
gia, rheumatism, nervous headache and
complaints of similar nature were either
eradicated or partially removed by the APP
plication of blue light to the patient.
A gentleman in business on Twelfth
street was father of pair of twins, who,
however, were sickly, and shortly after
birth pinned and exhibited strong symptoms
of marasmus. One little sufferer soon died,
but the other, under the influence of the
blue light, was given health, appetite, and
showed signs of vigor which it does not
promise to lose.

was for long time afflicted with bronchi
It's, liver complaint and consequent loss OF
appetite. She was carefully attended and
relieved of her chief complaints, but her
appetite did not return, and there was also
curious lack of Precipitation attending

appetite was as hearty as could be desired
Another still more remarkable case wa

street, who was grievously troubled with
erysipelas. This annoying disease is often
times one of the most dangerous and un
pleasant. and when it becomes chronic it i.

was troubled with occurrences of the dis
order and it seemed incurable. She tried
the blue light remedy, and was successful
in apparently eradicating the disease.
One case of rheumatism which was al
most helpless is also known to have been
cured by the use of blue glass, and in.
stances are innumerable where those suffer

relieved or cured. OF course there art
scores of cases where the trial has beer

A scientific gentleman, engaged in ex
