According to Professor Redard Of
Geneva, Switzerland, each Of the pri-
mary colOrs has a special and well de-
fined action on the organism. Red
light is an exciting and an irritating
agent. 1t mOdifies the virulence Of
certain eruptions and has been used in
cases of varioloid. Yellow light seems
to have a depressing action, while with
blue light is obtained a sensation of
calm and ease. To apply the anaes-
thetic method with blue light the pa
tent is seated on a chair at ten inches
from a fifteen candlepower incandes-
cent lamp. The bulb of the lamp is Of
blue glass, and it has a nickeled re-
fectOr. The head is covered with a
thin blue veil, and the patient directs
his vision toward the lamp. After a
few minutes the subject is found to
be in an unconscious state. In this
state a tooth can be extracted or other
short operation carried out without
pain. The effect is not attributed to
lypnOtism, but to the direct action Of
the rays upon the nerve centers.
