Diagnosis Possible

/ that, by study, al NplentS OF patients
can be diagnosed, DR.. Bennett de-
clares. Hundreds of tests have con-
WINGED him and several other In
dianapolis specialists, surgeons and
physicians. that the 100-year old
science Of the eye is entering new
field, he says.
In Boston recently, an unidenti-
fled man vas murdered. DR.. Ben
nett examined the dead mans eyes.
In them he found scars that charted
the mans life, he asserts. The scars
in the eyes resulted in description
Of accidents and injuries suffered
by the dead man during life that
resulted in his Identification &C
cording to DR.. Bennett.
For many years, according to DR..
Bennett, eye specialists have
recognized the fact that a definite
relation existed between spots" or
scars on the eye and bodily ailments
and injuries. DR.. Bennett has been
granted patents on an iridimeter, an
/ instrument which Eliminates and
blIC eye AOA oNOAy
of the EYE spots"
uIumines the Iris
DR.. Bennett says it Is the first
instrument of its kind. 1t lights
the iris and betrays teltale spots
which denote. illness and injury.
Not only that, but DR.. Bennett de-
clares the invention actually locates
the ailment.
The eye has definite areas or
degrees devoted to each section Of
the body, DR.. Bennett declares. A
chart which appears above has
been published for many years in
standard textbooks.
If you have a foot ailment, the
eye will show the injury or ailment
with a scar or spot at the extreme
lower edge.
Nerves center in the eye, DR.. Ben
nett says, and injury or illness
causes them to disintegrate and re-
fleet the injury. The scars are per-
manent in cases of injury, but re-
veal their age by white rings and
streaks.
BY study of the spots, the irideme-
ter inventor declares it is possible to
determine whether patient suffers
from lung, heart, stomach, IN
testinal or any other ailment, and
further, to determine and chart
progress of the disease.
He asserts the invention will make
possible continual study by physi-
clans of progress Of the disease in
order to determine whether treat
mentS are working, as planned
When treatments are failing, the
spots will grow darker gradually
and will become more pronounced
without the white lines, which de-
note healing, DR.. Bennett claims.
Shows Hidden Illness
Insurance companies will find a
use for the instruments in detecting
hidden complaints of insurance pol
icy applicants, defects and incipi-
ent ailments which would not show
readily under regular physical ex-
animation, DR.. Bennett declares.
That the spots are the direct re-
suit of pain is proven, DR.. Bennett
declares, by the fact that. when a
patient undergoes an operation the
spot does not show until effects OF
aneSthetics begin to wear of. The
spot then appears in the degree OF
the eye devoted to the part of the
body affected, he says.
DR.. Bennett worked seven years
to develop iridimeter. He is native
of Rushville and a graduate Of
Northern Illinois university at Chi
eago.
He now is presenting the instru-
ment in demonstrations before
groups of eye specialists and medi-
cal men and declares it recently met
with acclaim at meeting at Wash
ington, D. G.
