NEW YORK, June 5.-Electricity is being "harnessed" to multitude of medical science utilities designed for the prolongation of human lives.
 The applause for so many years di- rected to electrical destruction of human beings and other material ob- iects now may we'll be turned to the accomplishments in fields of con- structiveness. 1 Through use of an electron emana- tor, the invention of William H. Woodin, Jr, New York's Volunteer Hospital now is enabled to alleviate pain. The new device, in use for the first time, is being applied daily to the aches and pains of hundreds of patients in this temple of medical science"
 Until a few years ago." explains Woodin, "the atom was accepted as the most infinitesimal portion into which matter could be divided, eith- CT in fact or by calculation. It rep resents the chemists nit. It was the utmost in minuteness-until the dis covery of the electron. We are told that a million or more electrons may be encompassed within an atom, but | that they should not be considered as divisible parts of an atom in the sense of particles of matter, but rather as minuate representations of electral energy; as the tiny foces which energize the atom.
 Reasoning from that hypostasis, it is not difficult to appreciate the significance of that which is con- monly referred to as bodily cleo tricity' Our bodies are composed of innumerable atoms, the areas of which are strong or feeble in propor- tion as they are provided with the retentive of this fundamental ener- gizing factor.
 "Our health, thought and daily varying condition of being may, by a keenly analytical and introspective mind, be scheduled, classified and at tributed to certain relatively obvious factors among the qualifications of living and yet the conclusions, though fabricated upon indisputable facts, may be quite in error by non- consideration of variations of the electronic element so fundamental to our well being
 NOT INTENDED AS "CURE-ALL"
 The electron emanator, applied to affected parts, declares Woodln' re- lieves or eliminates paiu. It IS not primarily intended as curative, put is designed to alleviate aches while patients are being conditioned TOT operations. The minute electrons omanate from the simple-looking in strument, It is coil of many wind ings of fine wire, insulated ana wrapped into the semblance of disc A length of lamp cord attached thereto, a three ampere fuse and screw plug for insertion into the ordinary lamp socket constitute the entire apparatus.
 The coil, Woodin explains, constit- tutes an impasse and the current IS thereby screened into it's infinitely component parts, known as elec- irons, which, freed from their stream through a definite circuit, radiate without control upon and through a definite circuit, radiate without control upon and through all matter within their field of influence.
 q do not claim that the electron emanator is 'cure-all,'" ," Woodin as serted. Experience has indicated it's value for specific purposes and, al though it's therapeutic action has seemed quite marvellous to those who have been permitted to experience it's curative powers, it is disclosed to the physician not only as an aid, but as a provocative of further re- search.
 "When a patient with a sprained back appears he is invited to re- cumbent position and an emanator placed upon the sore spot. For a case of la grippe, however, the pa- tient is placed upon telescopic table and wheeled into an ingen- iously equipped compartment called the 'electron cabinet Within this cabinet he is subjected to a bom-
