AMORC INSTITUTE
 FORMALLY OPENS
Local Rosicrusians Re- ceive Bulletin Concern.
 ing Institution

A combination of the theories of ancient GreekS--that ali asthetic environment makes for health--and the resources and facilities of mod- ern science will be tried in the new Institute of Therapeutic Research founded by the AMORC, Rosicru- clan Order.
 According to Q bulletin just rec ceived by Walter J. Raeicot, FRC., local representative of the philo- sophie Order, the Rosicrucian Or- der, ANAORC. The Rose-Croix Re- search Institute and Clinic, just es- abolished in San Jose, California, will consider, in an investigation of the causes and treatment of malignant growths, the psychologi- cal effects of colorful bedrooms, ra- elio concerts, special music and nlo- ton pictures which produce certain emotional reactions upon patient. The Institutes director and found- or, Dr. II. Spencer Lewis, 1t Is said, staets: An environment that does not suggest constantly to the patient that he is abnormal or that he is isolated from the enjoyment and common pleasures of others, has e stimulating effect upon the mental attitude of the patient. The patient must he made to feel that he or she Is Q guest in Q magnificent pri- vate home, having an enjoyable va cation with the very best feods, the finest climate, the privilege of rest- ing in a patio filled with flowers and of enjoying other elements that contribute to psychological, benefi- cial effects"
 From purely scientific point of view, this new Institute Is one of the finest in America, inasmuch as every acknowledged accredited, and standard form of scientific diagnosis will be used, including large K ray apparatus, equipment for basal metaholism, all types of laboratory and research work of blood and body fluids, infra-red photographic afa- alysis. etc.
 The Institute is organized on a non-profit, humanitarian organiza- ton, and each patient is accepted by the Institute because of the par ticular nature of his or her case and the opportunities 1t will afford in research. No forms of "quackory" or specialized electronic, or electric machines will be used in diagnosis nor will patented stimulants be used, sold or given to the patients is the assurance of the Institutc', director. In addition to the new method of therapeutic research the structure which houses the Institute will incorporate the latest designed by American architects for hospitals clinics, and sanitariums. A licensed staff of doctors and c corp of special trained nurses will, 1t Is said observe the advantages of this new equip. ment and Installations and make periodic reports to the manufacture CTS with respect to them.
 The new Institute opened It's doors in January. and 1t is related has received requests from hundreds of individuals throughout the United States for an invitation to the Inc stitute for treatment and study. The Rose-Croix Clinic and Institute, states the bulletin, plans to issue rc- ports periodically, outlining its dis coveries and findings, to be sent tc physicians throughout the nation and to libraries generally.
