vas suffering from complication of
disorders, and the medical fraternity Of
New York and Philadelphia could do
nothing for her. Her husband, DR..
Beckwith, writes that she was suffering
from nervous irritation and exhaustion,
which resulted in severe neuralgia and
rheumatic pains, depriving her of sleep
and appetite tos food, producing great
debility and wasting away of the |
body. The lady and her husband had
abandoned hope of her recovery. Gen.
Pleasonton recommended the trial OF
the blue glass, and accordingly DIR.
Beckwith arranged one sash OF win
dow with alternate panes of blue and
common glass. His wife then exposed
to the effect of the associated rays OF
blue and plain light, those portions of
her body which were affected by neu-
ralgia. In three minutes she expert
enced relief, and in ten minutes the
pains disappeared. With each appli-
cation OF the associated lights, her pains
became less, her appetite and strength
returned, and in three weeks she was
restored to her normal healthful condi-
ton. This lady had been losing her
hair in consequence other sickness, there
being several bald places on her head.
Under the stimulating effects of the
blue glass, the hair began to grow Wig
orously. and the bald places were soon
covered with luxuriant growth of hair.
DIR. Beckwith, in relating this case,
says: "From my observations OF the
blue and sunlight upon my wife, re-
gard it as the greatest stimulant and
medicine. It will be invaluable in ty-
depression and the like.''
TWO MAJOR.GENERALS,
old friends of Gen. Pleasonton, were af.
fiicted with rheumatism in their fore
| finger-ends, SO severe at times that they
were unable to hold pens. They deter
mined to try Pleasonton's s'blue glass, !"
and accordingly obtained piece of blue
glass and set it up loosely in one of their
windows. For three days they barred
their arms and held them in the associ-
ated blue and sun light for thirty min-
utes. Each day brought them relief,
and at the end of three days the rheu-
matism had disappeared. Two years
later they both informed Gen. Pleason-
ton that they had not had a return of
rheumatism in any form. A little child
that had, from its birth, scarcely any

very short time it obtained the use OF

cases are mentioned in Gen. Pleason.
