Dr. Mount Bleyer. who has been asked
to communicate the results of his re-
searches to the French Academy of
sciences was asked to explain the action
OF sunlight in curing disease. He said:
1t is well known that differences of
temperature evolve electricity, as do also
evaporation and pressure, either suddenly
produced or removed, in which latter
category may be comprised a blow or a
stroke, as for ins tance, a horseshoe strlk-

IN the impact. Capitalization, the freez-

every movement and contraction of or
ganlc tissues, and indeed, every change
IN the form of matter, evolve electricity

possibly its compounds, purple, indigo and

colored glass at this inconceivab'e speed

ana the movement of matter upon mat

glass is opposite or positive, and heat is
therefore evolved by their conjunction.
Tins heat sufficiently expands the pores
OF the glass to pass through it, and then
you have within the apartment electricity.
magnetism, light and heat the essential
elements of vital force. This current of
electro-magnetism when allowed to fall
upon the spinal column Of an animal or
human being, is conducted by the nerves
to the brain and thence is distributed over
the whole nerve system, imparting Wig
or into all parts of the body and stimulat-
ing them into active exercise; hence fol-
lows restoration to normal physiological
action.

arteries through the system. When it
reaches the capllarles it has lost more
than two degrees of its temperature, and
upon flowing through the capillaries or
smaller arteries into the veins, the tenn

stimulated to fulfill their various func-
tons.
1T is due to an action like this that
therapeutic results are obtained from sun
light. There can be no doubt of the re-
suits as l have shown in my experiments.

is the great universal therapeutic agent

The electrical cabinet which Or. Mount
Bleyer uses for treating patients with Ill
tra-violet rays is quite a spectacular af-
fair. 1t is large opaque room containing
WndC at nrSt looks like a square glass
table with glass top. The patient to be
treated reclines on the glass top of this
box and turns over and over as flood of
light rays come from the inside of the
box. These light rays are produced by
long vacuum tubes. There is a concave
mirror behind the tubes to project the
light upward. The electricity in the vacu-
UNI tubes is produced by means of a large
induction coil in one corner of the cabi-
net. Meantime the cabinet is filed with
ozone, which is produced by large static
machine outside and which is conveyed
into the cabinet by means of glass tube
Ozone is, after all, the health-giving prop
erty of pure air, so that a person in this
cabinet has shed upon him not only the
rays of violet light such as The sun
light sends through colored glass, but he
is also about 90 breathe the most vital
stituent of the atmosphere. The combna-
ton has produced some really remarkable
results, and DR.. Mount-8leyer has been
able to make some cures of virulent dis
eases with this apparatus which in their
way, are quite as wonderful as those pro-
duced by sunlight alone.
