 The picture evoked by these startling claims is indeed to inspire amazement, joy, horror above all. incredulity; and it is naturally with incredulous mind that one first approaches the ap- parent magic of the ERA" (Electronic Reactions of Abrams.) Many physicians, particularly the leading spirits in the American Medical Associa- tion, have combated the whole Abrams theory and it's practice with determined hostility have sought to overwhelm it with waves of scorn and contempt. They declare the thing s. in the first place, the oretically impossible, and, furthermore, that on such rare occasions upon which Abrams submitted his methods ts disinterested analyses, tests and demonstration, only negative totally ridicu- lous and nonsensieal results were achieved.
 The newness, the fantastic strangeness of the whole thing, is certainly repellent at first to the conservative truth-seeker. But there is mass of evidence which has accumulated in the way of demonstrations. only negative totally ridicu- Dr. Abrams's own scientific explanation of the theories upon which he works which, as he gave it to the writer recently. seems to be in line with the latest electronic researches of scientists such Sir Ernest Rutherford

In the centre of the room is long table containing some electrical apparatus One of the wires from this apparatus ends in electrode, and in front of the table, upon grounded plate, stands young man, stripped to the waist and with the electrode pressed to his forehead. Dr. Abrams sits on chair before the young and taps with his finger upon the latter's abdomen, method known to physicians "percussion" This young man is not the patient being examined; this young is known as the subject and his body is merely of the instru- ments which Abrams in his examination The patient is in Toronto, or Boston, Mexico City and all that Dr. Abrams has is half dozen drops of his blood upon bit of clean, white plotting paper

 "The doctors assistant hands him a letter which has come with the specimen and the doctor reads il to his clinic: T send the blood of Mrs. J., age forty-six years That is all All right, gentle men, says Abrams we set the instrument at forty nine, which is the vibratory rate of human blood. don't happen to know this doctor who sends the specimen and there people trying to play tricks on me all the time. If this specimen contains human blood, the vibratory rate will come through the body of the subject and shall have dull area this spot, if it is male The doctor indi cates line just below the navel, and about inch to the left If it is female, the dull area will be the corresponding spot to the right.
