perfume. Maj. E. G. French, II. A. NJ.
c., in one of NE articles which have
lately been appearing in the Lancet,
says "the Simpson light is the latest
discovery in therapeutics. For over

ments have been given. 1t will there
fore be admitted that no undue haste
has been shown in now introducing
them into notice"
This was written some months ago.
Now that the results are assured, no
time is being lost in actually gathering
in the fruits of the discovery and in
stalling the apparatus in the hospitals !;
and the Simpson light treatment has
already become a feature not only in
the clinic centers of England but all
over Europe.
The rays discovered by Mr.. w. S.
Simpson, an engineer, who, while ex-
perimenting in the affinity of rare met
ais for one another, noticed that the
light produced by the electric cOmbus-
ton of certain ores had curative" ef-
fects on. the wOrkmen's hands, in con-
sequence of which he prepared special
electrodes for combustion in an arc
lamp, hence the IS" rays.
Without going into all the various
results which are being detailed in the
medical press from time to time, we
may content ourselves here with the
main fact that 1t has been tested i'm

is very short one, that there seems
no limit to it's application, from cases
Of shrappel wounds to the more deeply
seated chronic affections, and that

LIZ surgery. 1t was discovered
in 1895 by Wilhelm Konrad
Roentgen, German scientist. Many
OF us know something about radium,
too, wonderful mineral substance dis
covered in 1902 by Madame Curie, a
French woman scientist. Radium also
Is of great value in the medical world
so much so that the chief countries
are producing it at government expense
for hospital use.
Now comes the announcement of an.
other valuable discovery in the scien.
tine world-a new kind Of light ray
that has marvellous curative proper
ties, one that may revOlutiOnize GER
tain phases of the healing art. 1t is
called the Simpson ray, and may be
considered one of the war monsters
gifts to humanity in compensation for
millions Of lives destroyed.
Sometime ago, William Simpson. a
Scotch physics engineer, was expert
lfienting to develop very hard armor
plate. He was using hign-power cleo
trio currents to produce great heat.
Now no man knows more than a COM
paratively few properties Of electricity.
Civilization has harnessed this in
finitely powerful force in nature to
some extent, but electricity is con-
stantly doing something in harness to
puzzle those who use it. So it came TO
pass that while Simpson was expert
menting one of those puzzling things
happened, and the Simpson ray was
discovered, to be named after Its dis
cOverer.
Mary Boyle O'Reilly, an American
newspaper woman, was in London not
long ago and she went to interview
Simpson at his laboratory. Here Is
her report:
s,Take S-rays and keep young for a
hundred years" said William Simpson,
Scottish diScOverer Of Simpsons light,
drawing forward wheeled standard
from which spluttcring electric arc
gave out faint white smoke.
You are suffering from bronchial
aOarseness; let the light cure it while
we talk. 1t has no danger ray, causes
no burns, makes no martyrs; and it
kills every germ within ten seconds.
"Pasteur and Metchnikoff taught
that to kill germs is to create a new
world. Without germs there can be no
epidemic diseases. Also, the Stray
softens hardened arteries and loosens
adhesions. That stops age, prolongs
maturity and increases efficiency.
I'VE will yet be able to keep young
for n century. Already the Royal Med
ical society insists that the Stray is
the greatest thing in the medical
world!
"Your hoarseness, now?"

\ l &poke, and my voice was entirely
clear.
Il call the new ray Gods own light,
1t has already done so much good.
This is the beginning, of an age of
marvels," he confessed. ITO expert
ment on armor plate Twas seeking an
intense, pure heat. My handy man, a
drunken, dissolute fellow, was ham
dicapped by a bad burn.
Suddenly the open wound began to
heal. That puzzled me; to prove Il
possibility, 1 gave my hand an ugly
cut with a knife edge of dirty brass.
and treated the wound with a dose
of light. Three days later the cut was
healed, leaving no scar. Then l knew
that l had discovered something great
er than foundry process!
"Thus military surgery was provided
with safe ray which could stop dis
charges, cure stiffness or swelling. alb
sOrb scar tissue and relieve the tor
ment of septic wounds. Only short
exposure is required, although there is
no bad result frOm-lOng exposure as

Five feet distant, electrodes of wolf

atmosphere.

ARGUMENT

Argument is one mans polite
way of telling another man he
doesn't know what he's talking
about. It's an art with some
folks and a habit with others.
Argument and diplomacy are
closely related. One man calls
another man a liar. That's argu-
ment. The other man says
doubtless the first man is cor
rect, but isn't it just possible and
so on and so on. That's di-
plomacy.
Almost any proposition IS open
to argument, but there are a few
places where all argument fails;
certain things about which there
is no argument. This includes
wives, dyspepsia, buzz-saws,
mule heels, street car con-
ductors, policemen, polecats and
cyanide of potassium. And did
you ever try to argue with
