Curative Powers of the Colored Ray

It's height reporter still living. visited the
eminent scientist. After talk for pubica-
tion the General admitted that he did not
hope for any permanent good
II will tell you its weak point, said he
There Is no way to commercialize the cure.
There is no way to make money out OF IT,
All the commercial possibilities are opposed
TO H. The doctors, the druggists and the
proprietary medicine makers are against II.
No discovery, however great II may be can
become a success unless there is way for
some one to make money by IT,"
And in a few years. the discovery of Gen.
Pleasanton was remembered only as "the
Blue Glass Craze"
At that time electricity had not demon
strated its mechanical and scientific possi-
bilities. Such thing as projecting the ray
by means OF electricity had not been dreamed
Of The invention of to-day claims all that
Gen. Pleasanton deemed possible, and much
more. According to the inventor amazing
mechanical effects are possible effects
much more startling than anything that
could be conceived of i'm therapeutics He
believes that the power of the ray can be
developed to an intensity that would enable
the operator to melt battleship at con-
siderable distance. But the interesting thing
is to see IL the curative possibilities can be
so commercialized as to give humanity the
benefit OF whatever great advantages II may
possess.

HE announcement of the wonderful
curative powers OF the violet ray, just
developed by Prof Brightenstein. an
eminent scientist, is so interesting as to be
amazing in its possibilities. He projects the
violet ray into the body. working wonderful
effects
Some fifty years ego Gen. Pleasanton. a
writer and experimenter on various phases
of science. created a country wide sensation
by his claims OF the therapeutic effects of
the blue ray Of light. He was a Philadel-
phian, but during most of the time OF his re-
search and writing on this subject he lived
at Plainfeld, NJ J. His theory was that sun
light shown through blue glass would cure
many ailments. SO successful did his efforts
appear that a wave Of blue glass cure swept
over the country. People had their porches
enclosed with blue glass; and everywhere in
valids could be seen basking in the rays Of
the sun and apparently receiving great ben
efits from the treatment. In 1876 Gen.
Pleasanton published book on the subject.
He was most enthusiastic and certainly be-
lieved in the efficacy of the treatment.
About this time and when interest was at
