second day, the SUMS rays being unusually
strong. she got 'too much blue glass" and
at night felt peculiar sensations in the back
of the neck, among the nerves. and an I'M
pleasant fullpess in the head. These SEN
Stations wore off next day, and since then
she has not remained so long at a time I'M
der the blue glass. But from the first she
began to grow stronger, her face soon
gained it's natural f~ullness, and in a week
she was, to all appearances, as well as ever.
OF course, she was not cured OF the trouble
in her lungs in s.. short a time, but the
soreness in her chest has passed away, and
she began to feel yell again. After sitting
in the associated light for a week, a large
number of red pimples came out on her
neck and shoulders, an indication that the
treatment was bringing out to the surface
the humors of the blood. In a letter to me
Gen Pleasanton says:"l am satlsfled that
if this treatment shall be continued
through the winter and spring, any tuber-
culous development that may exist In the
lungs will be arrested, its pus absorbed
into the circulation, and thrown OIL from
the blood in the excretions las has occurred
already in the spots on the body, the
wounds of the tubercles will be cicatrized
and the lady restored to a condition of
good health" In the same letter Gen.
Pleasonton relates an agreeable Incident
which occurred to him but a few weeks
since. A lady and her daughter called to
see him, and announced that they had
come from Corning, N. Y, to Philadelphia
for the express purpose OF thanking him
for
SAVING THE DAUGHTERS LIFE.
Four years ago she was afflicted with a
violent attack of spinal meningitis. Her
sufferings were lndescribable but cOntin>
uous. Every conceivable remedy had been
resorted to during these four years, but
the patient received no benefit. Her ner-
vous system at last became so diSordered
that the slightest sound or the most gentle
agitation of the air. threw her into the
most agonizing suffering. She was wasted
away in flesh, could not sleep at night, had
no appetite. and her life was despaired Of.
Hearing of Gen. Pleasanton's discovery in
associated lights, her parents determined
to try it. A bay window was fitted with
alternate panes OF blue and plain glass,
and the young lady sat daily in the light
which streamed through them. Her ply
~sicians, of course, laughed at the idea,
pronounced the whole thing a umbug,
ETC., as is the habit of professional gentle
men whenever any new idea is preached.
The physician Was dismissed, and the
young lady relied wholly upon the blue
glass treatment for her restoration to
health. The lady says that on entering
the room thus lighted, the pains from
which she was suffering almost immediate
ly ceased then Would return in a modified
form on leaving the room, but grew less
from day to day. Very soon her condition
began to improve, her appetite returned,
and with it her strength; she began to
gain flesh, her sieeplessness~ disappeared
and, in short, she was speedily restored to
health.
HOPE O THE BALD-HEADED.
A singular feature of this young lady's
case was, that her hair all came out, and
she became bald as an egg. Her physician
examined the scalp with a microscope, and
declared that there we're no roots Of hair
remaining, and that, consequently, she
would never again have a natural head of
hair. This announcement, to a young
lady, was worse than would have been the
reading of her death warrant. Better the
cold grave and its attendant worms than
to go through life with d wig. Under the
blue glass treatment, however, the hair did
begin to grow, the young lady discarded
her wig, and when she called upon Gen.
Pleasanton she showed him a luxuriant
growth of hair, which any young lady
might envy. She was profusely grateful
to the General for having restored her
hair, and incidentally saved her life. Sc
much for examples and illustrations.
These and numerous Others which might
cite if you had space to print them. show
that the blue light associated w til the sur.
light havea wonderfully stimulating effect
upon both vegetable and animal life, and
have cured some diseases with which the
human family is afflicted. If they will dc
this, everybody ought to know it, for the
treatment costs nothing and is a great say.
ing of doctors' bills. Now for
GEN. PLEAsANToN's EXPLANATION
of the curative effects of the associated
lights. In his letter to me he puts it thus
tersely Sunlight passes through plain,
transparent glass with very slight obstruc
ton, as it does through the atmosphere
and ether Of space it produces no heat,
for the glass remains as cold as the out
side atmosphere While the sunlight passes
through it. When, however, the adjoining
sunlight, moving with the same velocity as
the first mentioned, viz: 1876, 900 per sec
ond, falls upon the blue panes OF glass, six
of the seven primary rays of sunlight are
suddenly arrested by it,only the blue ray be-
ing permitted to pass through it into the
apartment. The sudden sloppage of these G
rays of light, with this enormous velocity,
produces friction; this friction evolves ne>
gative electricity, which is the electricity
of sunlight passing through the cold ether
Of space and our cold atmosphere, both of
which being negatively electrified impart
their electricity by induction to the rays of
sunlight as they pass. The blue glass is
oppositely electrified. When these opposite
electricities, thus brought together, meet
at the surface of the glass, their conjunc-
ton evolves heat and magnetism; the heat
expands the molecules of the glass, and
a cnrrent of electro-magnetism passes into
the room, lmparting vitality and strength
to any animal or vegetable life within it.
When the atmosphere of the room becomes
thus electromagnetic, its inhabitants
cannot fail To- derive the greatest benefit
from being in it,"
