appliances Is the \ ray which may be
used both in the treatment of various dis
eases and in the diagnosis of many OBJ
scure conditions. With its aid the in
terror OF the human body is no longer the
sealed book it has been heretofore. Ab-
normal states Of the bones, gall stones,
stone in the bladder or in the kidneys, arc
shown plainly by what are known as y.
ray photographs. Internal tumors. and
the enlargement of the decp-seated or-
gans, are also discovered by this means

the lungs this agent has proven n most
valua ble aid. When applied TO some OF
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin it has proven very effective as Il
curative agent.

violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with specially prepared
carbon upon any portion OF the body that
may be the seat of pain. Sufferers from
