Wearer's Health
Reflected in Pearls

After many years of experiment.
ing, Senator Barsanti of Argentina
has arrived at the conclusion that
Oriental pearls are animated beings,
and that those which have lost their
color and lustre. and for this reason
are called dead" are nothing but
diseased pearls.
Oriental pearls" says Senator
Barsanti, ARE easily infected with
contaGion with any Of the human
diseases. and those most dangerous
character. Mercury Is the greatest
enemy of the pearl. A string of
pearls whose wearers have been
subjected to a mercury treatment
is certain to be infected to a point
where it will turn to the shade of
lead.
Even lack of light and air will
have a saddening effect upon pearls
and cause them to lose their color.
When this is the reason for their
change they can be restored to life
by being worn by perfectly
healthy person of either sex"
This authority asserts that pearls
whose aspect indicates the begin
ming of disease may usually be re-
stored by treating them with a soft
CIoIn soaked IN cnemlcally prepared
alcohol. This destroys the infect
ious germ. provided it has not pene-
trated further than the surface.
He says that when disease has
penetrated to the very heart or
centre Of the pearl II is really dead.
According to this theory, the pearl
contains a mysterious sap which.
like human blood. fights to the very
last ditch against any bacteria find
ing their way into its circulation
