Prof. Won Leyden sets great store
on the forthcoming work of the In

CATION to meet In Berlin. At the same
time he intimates that the fact that
cancer has OF late years attacked
some OF the highest personages" in
Europe should furnish an impetus to
the universal war to be waged against
the disease
Cancer has been known and dread
ed since time immemofial," says the
professor. but universal interest was
aroused only after the publication OF
statistics showing the tremendous
mortality due to this cruel disease.
To-day all the world demands a
cure but the cures, so called, an
nounced from time to time, are either
based on error or illusion. Up to the
present lime nothing save the knife
appears to be cure for cancer: sur
gerry alone can point to cases actually
cured. For this we ought to be meas
urably grateful but considering the
enormous number OF cancer sufferers,
even the cures by the knife lack sig
nificance.

and the painful decline into which the
sufferers fall, lastly their own cruel

DICKENS LOVE LETTERS.

From Current Literature.
By stroke of rare good luck some of
the most important and characteristic let
tiers ever written by Charles Dickens, the
great English novelist have fallen into
American hands. They have Just been
printed by permission or their owner.
William ~. Bixby of st. Louis, and are
creating veritable sensation in the lit
erary world. 1t seems almost Incredible
That for three-quarters OF a century SO
valuable mass of literary material
should have existed apparently unknown.
and certainly inaccessible, to Dickens
biographers. Yet such is the case. The
letters are equally important, whether re-
garded as key to Dickens character or
to his writings. They divulge nothing to
his discredit. and can only enhance the
esteem in which he is held. His temper-
ament is revealed as generous. imnuIsiva
and impressionable We learn for the
first time the details Of the all-absorbng
love of his youth-the one great love of
his life. And we also learn that David
Copperfeld and Little Dorrit are auto
biographical in much more intimate sense
than has been supposed.
Maria Beadnell was the prototype of
Dora in David Copperfield." and 1t would
be difficult to overestimate the Influence
which she exerted over the young nov
elist "ats a time" as he himself con-
fessed, when four years are equal to
four times four" Dickens felt that he
owed everything to her. ..Whatever of
fancy, romance, energy, passion, aspira-
ton and determination belong to me-"
he wrote to her later in life, 'I never
have separated and never shall separate
from the hard-hearted little woman-you-
whom it is nothing to say I would have
died for with the greatest alacrity. -
1t is matter of perfect certainty to
me that began to fight my way out of
poverty and obscurity with one perpetual
idea of you"

THE COLOR CURE.

From the New York World
At Bartonville, H., two cottage build
ings have been erected in connection with
the Illinois Hospital for the Insane in
which the effects of colors on patients Is
to be given a thorough test.
The two cottages cost 100000 and are
equipped with eight solariums, and the
work will be inaugurated and the build
ings dedicated Thanksgiving Day. DR..
Zeller, who is in charge of the expert
ment was the first to throw away locks
and bars in an insane asylum and trust
to more modern and humane methods of
dealing with mental affections.
According to DR.. Zeller there are four
colors that are especially curative and
soothing in their effects on certain pa
TENTS These are ruby, violet, amber and
opal. In the cottages at Bartonville there
are two rooms, or solariums, devoted to
each of these colors. The incandescent
lamps, the glass through which the light
enters as well as the decorations, are all
similar in each of the two rooms devoted
to a certain color, and patients will be
treated in each as their cases may de-
mand Dr. Zeller finds that the despond
ent becomes cheerful in red solar1um,
the violent ones are soothed under the
influence of the blue rooms, while opal
and amber are found to aid consumptives
and certain others.
The idea of phototherapic treatment for
its influence on mind and body is not
new. Every one knows tnat green, the
green of grass and fields and forests, is
pleasing and calming to the eye and mind;
that the opaline tints of water as seen
on lakes or ocean are restful, and that
red is stimulative in it's effects upon the
passions. The idea of solariums and the
use of different coored glass IN the treat
ment Of disease has also been applied in
Denmark for perhaps 20 years or more.
The first American experiment on a large
scale in the treatment OF the insane by
phototherapy will Therefore be watched
with interest.
