BLUE LIGHT AN ANESTHETlc
the Fact in Thorough Series
Of Experiments.

Zone Of the most remarkable actions
Of light has recently come to our at
tention," says the editor of the Jour-
nal Of Surgery. In an address before
the Boston Physio-Therapeutic soci-
ETY. DR.. E. c. Titus has demonstrated
that blue light possessed remarkable
anesthetic power.
In his experiments he used series
Of slender glass rods about one-eighth
OF an inch In thickness, placed side
by side and tied together so as to
form a kind of flexible mat which
will adapt itself to various parts of
the body. The glass must be of CO.
bait blue and transmit no red rays,
this being very important point.
The rods are to be placed upon the
area to be anesthetized, and some
form Of white light, preferably tung-
stem lamp, brought as closely as pos
sible without causing discomfort.
Strange to relate, in twenty min
utes the part becomes insensitive, so
that superficial and even deep Incl
sions or punctures are no longer felt.
This anesthesia lasts for one-half hour
or more, and has occurred so constant
ly that there is no reason to believe
that it is the result of suggestion or
accident. Minor surgical operations
have been performed under this meth
cd and without the least pain or dis
comfort, and there seems to be
enough in it to merit attention.
More than thirty years ago there
prevailed what was afterwards termed
the blue glass scraze. All sorts of all
ments were thought to be amenable
to the action of blue light, and the
newspapers were filled with glowing
accounts Of cures. Enthusiasm ran
riot for a time and then the matter
dropped out of sight.
Some time later there was a re-
vival Of interest in phototherapy when
Ffnsen demonstrated the curative
properties of the ultraviolet ray in
various affections, especially lupus.
Since then the physiological action of
light has been carefully investigated
and although much remains to be
learned, there can be no doubt that we
are nearer to an appreciation of it's
possibilities in the treatment Of dis
ease"

Ourlife's Story.

Very often the success which at
tended our early efforts turns it's back
upon us in later years, and while for a
time We may try to continue in detail
the story of our alternate hopes and
fears, our victories and our defeats,
we soon realize that the record is a
sorry one, and we feel ashamed to con-
tinue its recountal. We forget the
early promises we made to be sincere
in the matter of making up our record,
and because the story is not one of
unalloyed success and prosperity we
grow disloyal to our better selves and
believe that by making no further
entries in our diaries we bring them
to a close. Just as we recall to mem
DRY in later years, however, the
small volumes Of our early youth, with
their interrupted stories, we are prone
also to look deeply into the record we
have written in the real diary of life.
1t was Barrie who said that "the life
Of every man is a diary In which he
means to write one story and writes
another, and his humblest hour is
when he compares the volume as 1t is
with what he vowed to make it."
We cannot release ourselves from
the obligation of writing the diary of
our lives. We make the records
whether we are willing or not, and for
each hour and day of the year Of life
given to us here on earth there is a
faithful entry made. - Charleston

four miles more before stopping for

shovels, covered three miles by noon
This part of the route lay through
