Over Sizteen Hundred Millions of Cor- puscles in a Cabic Inch. The Doctor Called to Testify in the Rich- ardson Murder Case at Qanton, O, When the reporter entered the study he sawa man about 60 years of ame leaning over a micro- scope and drawing at the sametime little circles on 3 picce of card-board, The nolse made in opening the door and walking across the floor did not actract attention; the scientist was ab- sorbed ‘fn his work and was oblivious of sur- roundings. If. the house had been on fire he probably would. not have knoavn it until the flames kissed his cheek and admonished him that it was time torun. “Here is a gentleman from Tie TRIBUNE who has called to ece vou,” saal the lady that had shown the reporterinto the room. The investigator looked up, seeuringly annoyed at the interruption, and remarked, “ Ah! glud tosecyou. Take u seat, please. Iwill be at lefsure in 2 moment.” And down went his head to the microscope. He had evideutly never been interviewed. After waiting five minutes, the reporter said: “T have come, Doctor, to have a talk with you about blood-corpuscles.” 4 Well,” was the apparently regretful reply, “bring your cheir over here. I em making 2 table of some of them now, for the purpose of measuring them, but I will lay aside the draw- ing.? . ‘The one of whom information was sought is Dr. R. U. Piper, who lives at No. 64 Centre avenue. He is an enthusiast on the subject of ‘microscopy; it has been his hobby for years; and, like all men who devote themselves assidu- ously to one line of investigation, hie has accom- plished something which will benefit mankind. Within o year past, he has been pur- suing an entirely new line of inquiry— the examination of blood-corpuscles with ref- erence to a diagnosis of disease: and from what he has already Jearned doubts not that he will ultimately be able to_teil the ail- ment of any diseased person whose blwod is sub- mitted to him. But the most stenificant of Lis discoveries is a system of measuring corpuscles, which demonstrutes beyond & reasonable doubt the difference between those of man and of any other animal. The importance of the differen- tiation will be np}:\rfi:i:ll\:d when it §s stated that the ability to distinguish the peculiarities of the two has acquitted some and convicted uther men and women of murder. Herctofore the difHiculties attending the operation of :measure- ment have been great, and, opinions dffering as 1o the mode of procedure, conflict of testi- mouy has tipped_the frecdom end of - justice’s scales, and enabled guilty criminals to siide out of court instead of into the arms of thie hang- mau. : The Doctor was a witness in the recent trial of Mrs. Richardson at Canton, O., ard it was especially with reference to this case that the reporter Gesired to interview him.

He was an Englishman, and used to beat her:very often, it is said, and at one time injured 'ner so badiy that she wae laid up in bed for three wecks. She became tired of such contiimons ill-treatment at length, and took the pralim- inary steps towards se ri%' a separation, She Tias two children, o grown daughter and 8 "boy 12 yoars of aze. About a year ago, according to her statement, she was awakeued one night by his attempting 7O CUT HER THROAT. g He was right-banded, and was Iyinz in sucha position that he had to use his left hand. 1is awlwardness saved hier life, only two pretty se- vere gashes being made, the bidod from whish reddened the sheet where her head was Jyin. She jumped out of bed as quickly as possible, and got = pistol which belorged to Richardson. He liad bought it for the purpose of killing some one, he said. He followed her, and took the pistol from her. She is a glightly built woman, While he was a strong, muscular fellow, weigh- ing 250 pounds. He tired at her, and the ball struck her mear the floating ribs and glanced off, muking an uely, tearing flesh found, buf. one mot st all dangerous. She struggled with him for the possession of the weapon, desperation giving her strength, and, strange to say, secured it She fired at him, and the ball entered his brain, and he fell to the floor dead. This affray happened m a dark room, the only lizht being that furnished by the eray of the neroing. o Yt Behanison was arrested for deliberately sliooting bior bushand,—in other words, murder- ing him. t scems. that the deceased, who kept a liqior-saloon, was 3 liale fellow well met, and had many fricnds ameng the miners, he havin, at one tiine followed _that oceupation. One o these men had a revelation from the spirit land that the miners must raise moncy and help con- vict the wife, They raised $1,500, and em- ployed the ablest counsel attainable to conduct The prosccution. ~ She was defended by Jobn McSweeney, one of the most finished orators in the country. ‘The theory of the prosccution was that Mrs. Richardson “shot her husband while he was asloep, dragged the body from it to the floor, where it was found; turned the shect so that the blood-stains would be on lier side of the bed; aud that the wound in her side was selt- inflicted. Her counsel belfeved her statement of the cir- ‘cumstances, and put Dr. Pfl)cr.un tne stand to corrobornte her. 1low ne did it, will appear in he subjofned conversation: £ Said E‘hc reporter, * Dactor, I understand the trial of Mrs. Richardson . developed same Very interesting facts.” ¢ did, sir; very interesting.” «Why were you called in as & witness?"’ « The object was to demonstrate whether th,e blood on the sheet was from the woman's throat or the man’s head; also whether blood cosgulated on the upper or under side of the theet; and also whether o person could fire through a cotton under-garment without there beinzthe smell of gunpowder upon it or the Jeast scorching of the inflammable material. & Were you succeseful ¥ « T was able to demonstrate clearly the differ- ence between the bloods. The other )mn]‘li)' necded demonstration; it scarcely scems to ad- mit of question. o Hoa' did you proceed as to the blood » The most important thing -was to settle whether the blood on the sheet was her blood. If Ishowed that it was, her story was correct, and the chargeol willful murder would not Lold.

I havecxaminedine corpuseles of forty persons who were afflicted with the ssme disease—blood that I got at the County Hospital—and 1 noticed in his blood the same ieatures which characterized those bloods —a preponderance of oval corpustles. “Was any brain matter noticesble in her blood . . * No, but T found brain matter on the carpet. I examined not only the blood on the carpet, but also that on a sheet used for the post mor- tem. In it I found brain- matter, picces of bone, picces of a shaven beard, hacked and split'by a razor, and also a species of mold that grows on blood which lays for sometime without drying, as it did on the thick carpet. “What was the difference in the measure- ments of her corpuscles and his?”? :‘g(hl’:rfi measured 1-3,400 of an inch, and bhis 3,200, “In what did they differ otherwisc?!” “}1is corpuscles exhibited a strange, black- ened. irrexular appearance.

They laid flat on u woolén fibre, showing them” selves yery clearly.” #1s it your practice to measure only perfect corpu les?? ““Thereare actunlly no merfect corpuscles,— that is what {s generally understood by perfect. They ure generally nearly circulur in healthy blood, but not perfectly so. For that reason I measure them both™ ways. I have very rarely found a true circular one, and if relied on one measurcment I should always be wrong. 1f you measure a ring both Wways you will get the average diameter; if you measure it only one way you will not. Suppose the ring is bent? See?™ *“If you could malie the oval ones round would theirurea ditfer from that of other oval cor- puscles?” “Tt would not. over again.” Some authors insist, do they not, that dis- torted corpuscles should be restored to their original shape before being measured “There are authorities ou every question, but I have never scen that laid down as arule in any wmodern work. Dr. Richardson took six cor- puscles frregular in form before a jury in Phila- delphin and'the accused was convicted.” Do vou select the most periect ones?” ¢ Noj that would lcad to error. Itake them just as they come.” **Are the corpuscles of a man usually larger thf:\x those of a woman#"? No. There is no specific difference; no one Ibave done that over and man’s blood and a woman's. My wife's cor- puscles are larger than mine. In” Richardson’s case the corpuscles varied very much in size,— some were quite large and fome were quite small, Nearly all of them were oval in form.” ‘Are not the corpuscles of healthy blood usually spherical?? “That Is the popular idea. They are not. You will find some that appear to be perfectly round, but a close examination reveals that they are not. It is very - 'DIFFICULT TO FIND perfeetly healthy human blood. I have a speci- men that came from France cleven years ago. It is beautiful, very beaatiful 1? The Doctor at this juncture exhibited to the reporter 8 number of “‘slides,” containing the Dblood of men and animals. Among thew was blood which he said he had taken from 2 mos- quito’s stomach. This_certainly was dissection r excallence. He alsohas an ear of that annoy- songster. ‘A very interestine glide,” said he, **is this. [Taking up one.] This hus on it a scale or scale or feather of the mosquito, compared in size with the blood founa inits stomach. The scale is many thiues larger in arca than a cor- puscle. Ihaveblood from a young man who was run aver by the cars. He was badly fright- encd, and the corpuscles are marked as if they Dad been carved. I observed the same peculiar- ity in the blood of a rat which was luocked around in « trap for some littie time, and then Kiiled. Now thischaracteristic has not been notice- ed in any other bloods,and I regard it as of some significance justifying further investication. I have ot vompleted my study of it, but I have hoves of bcinfi able to’ tell “whether a person was frightened when he dicd. Perhnps it may be adyantaeeons in demonstrating ihether per- sons found dead came to n natural death or were rurdered. Hereis the Dblood,” he con- tinned, © of the woman who_recently poisoned herself with carbolic acid. That is strangely al- tered. It is the first case of the Kind 1 have ever heard of. She died as quietly as if she had taken opium.” This digression is attributable to the Doctor’s enthusiusm and the reporter’s curiosity. Ke- ncx\ ing the original line of inquiry, the reporter asked: # How do yue make your drewings?? “I put the blood in a glass siide. Then I olace the slide under thegmicroscope, which bas 21,27 diameter mu"ni[g‘mg power.’ ‘The cor- puscles appear nearfy 410 of an inch in diame- ter. 1f I'wish to make a drawing, I place the microscope in a horizontal position, aud attach the camera lucida to it. aud T get the fmaze be- neath, as in the ordinary photograph process on the face of the paper. Luse a brush to trace the corpuscles. They are as plain on the sur- face as a round blot.” *Isu't It exccedingly difficult?” “Yes, at first; it requires a great deal of _ex- perience. The outlines are generally made first, and the drawings finished afterivards from memory. My practice is to_finish them wholly bookis the pictures are the works of artis ‘Very rarcly are scientific men capabie of mak it gives texture. An outline of a round object might be an outline of a great many rouud ob- Jects, and no one could tell what it was unless the outline was filled up with the texture. The outline of a stoue would be the same as the out- line of asoft thing, and in order to recognize it you must do 5o by the texture, and NOT BY THE SHAPE.” “How do you make your caleulations?” s« After completing the table I measure cach row horizontally,—there may be eizht or ten Tows,—and then cach row pependiculariy. Say there were five rows o1 five eacl, and they meas- ure two inclies. Adding the two meusarements together will give twenty inches. Dividing the twenty by douvle the humber of corpuscles gives the average diameter of vne corpuscle, or rather of the ure. That would be four- tenths. Divide the four-tenth Ly the magnify- ing power, and that gives the diameter fn deci- mals.” “Iuman corpuscles are distinguished by their size, are they not?” “Yes, sir.”? “What 15 the average size of a human corpuscle 27 5 ““{¢ is the 1-3,200 of an inch; that is to say, il you take 3,200 corpuscles and place them in Yiné they will occupy just the space of n inch in length. If you inultiply the number by itself you get the number in a square, and mul- tiplying that by 3,200 and by 3, since it takes five corpustles to make the thicknessof the diameter of one, you get the number in a cubic inch.” “That gives 10,240,000 in a square inch, and 1,638,400,000 in & cubic inchi i “Yes. Isn’tthat astounding? Recollect that pumber is not in a cubic inch of blood, but ina cubic inch of corpuscles. A cubic inch of bloed contains so mauy that the number would not be comprehended ¢xcept by a mathematician.” “Jfow many constituents are there in the { blood 7 “The blood is complex. Almost all modern observers in their analyses say there is so much of ceriain substances and so much of unknown substance, consequently what may be blood to- day may not be blood to-morrow. Scicnce is not yetable to determine what the unknown substances are.” “ \What did your examination of the sheet dis- close with reférence to coazulation?” It showed that the clot was formed on the upder side. That s self-evident. The claim of the prosecution was that the sheet had been changed, from the fact that the clotted blood wasontop. As blood always runs through cloth or paper and drops down, you can sec thiat what docs not escape will congcal on the under side. The clot is always scen on the under side of butchers’ aprouns.” & \Xgm efiecct docs the flow have onthe “On cloth and all textile fabrics there is al- ways more or less fibre standing up unless it is smoothed down by starch or sizing, and, ifa fluid passes through the cloth, it is obyious to any one that it pushes down by its weight the fibres that stand up; and on the under. side_of the cloth they will necessarily stand out nearly at right angles from the surtace.”” \Yas that a characieristic of the bed sheet? *Yes, not only under a low magnifying pow- er, but when put under s power of 1,200 dinm- eters, I could sce every fbre.”? “Does blood always congeal rapidly?"” «No, it acts very strangely sometimes, and T am as yet unable to account for the fact. I had two animals killed some time ago for an experi- ment. The blood of one was put into a hottle and congulated instantly. The blood of the other remained fiuid for inorethan a week.” “You cannot account for that?” “I know of no reason why it shonld do so— why it shoulp clot at all. Usually it cosgulates in ten or fifteen minutes.”” % How long have you devoted your attention to blood with reference to diseasci” “For the last year, more’ orless. Iwork twelve and fifteen hours a day sometimes. Al attention was first called to.the matter by Prof. Freer, President of Rush Medical College, who took me to the County Hospital and showed me some cases. The question arose whether any- thing could be adduced from the blood by an examination of the corpuscles. Since then L have joined that to what I bave been engaged fn—differentiating between the blood of animals and mau, with reference to criminal cases. I am EXAMINING DISEASED BLOOD both in regard to a curative poreess and to a dinenosis of disease.” ““What progress have you made?” «Well, T have hardly gone far enough to come to any conclusion, but the blood I have examin- ed has distinct characteristics, and I am in hopes they will lead to something definie.” ““When you have settled the question, I sup- pose the next thing will be to dose the patient with different kinds of medicine snd observe their effect on the corpuscles totind outaspecific for restoring thein to thelr normal condition #”* 4T can hardly say as to that. We must wait until we sre certain before we experiment in that dircetion. I do not wish to be understood us saying that I ean tell definitely the disease by { the corpuscles. It may be ten years before I candoit. I measured 20,000 to ind out the size, and [ shatl study 20,000 or more to find out the discase. In thé examination of discased blood I find a large preponderance of oval cor- puscles. Usually there are more or less of them (I have had blouds in which there were no mis- shapen corpuscles); and in only discased blood lave I found them fn excess.” i “What arc the peculiur features’ of the cor- puseles of sicl people!” *+There are so many I could searcely enumer- ate them; but those of healthy peoplé are more uniform, though they vary in size.” “You say you have cxamined 20,000 cor- puscles?’’ ] have made drawings of that number.” « All from humau blood?? «Xo.. I have examined the blood of one hun- dred individuals, seventy dogs, and about thirty other animals.” “Do you confine your studies. solely to blood *No. [ have another department, s0.to speak, in connection With the kidneys and urinary organs,—Bright's Qlzease, which has be- come so common. Heretofore it has been con- sidered necessarily fatal, but we know it is man- ageable if found out in season, and it can be by the microscope.™ The Doctor here exhibited a slide, saying that the specimen was sent to him by a veterinary surgeon, and that quadrupeds as well as bipeds were subject to this discase. “1 forgot to ask you how you showed that the woman did not shoot hersel{?? “QOn, yes. Well, she had on a light cotton under-garment, and she could not have shot herself, because the powder would have set the garment on fire. It will sometimes set cot~ ton on fire cven if the person shooting is four or five feet away. Now, on the garment worn by her there was not the slightest trace of povder or of scordliing around the liole made v the bullet, and consequently the revolver must have been at some distance from her. This truth was dewoustrated in the Court by an experiment, aud the jury seemed to appre- ciate it.” ‘The conversation was reluctantly brought to a dose at this juncture, the reporter having taken upover anhourof the busy Doctor’s time, and not wishing to impose upon him furtlier.. When biddiug him zood evening, he remarked that the public would undoubtedly take an interest in the subject, and if the re- porter called again he would willingly do all he could to euligitten them.

Mr. nna Mrs, Henry Sterner, both over 70, lived near Union Mills, Carro County, Md. 'Miss Louise Sterner, their grand- daughter of 18, lived with them to take care of the old people. She failed in her duty, for she went away one day to attend church at some distance and remained over night, leaving the old people to take care of themselves in the meantime. . Her absence occasioned a very sing- ular disaster. When the girl returnea home she found the body of her erandmother lying between the house and barn half buried in” the suow, and one hand clatching the dinner-horn. Going into the house she found her grandfather Iying belind u cold stave stricken with paralysis, but still alive. He could not speak, and soon died. The only explanation sugsested is, that, when the old man s stricken, tic oid lady, be- ingz nearty helpless, took the dfnner-horn and went out to blow it and alarm the nelzhbors. She was doubtless much frightened, and feli from an attack of beart disease and dicd, or, falling from fright, hurt berself, and beine una- ble to rise froze to death, and was kindly cov- ered by the falling snow.

Jan, 15. “The butchers’ shops iu Sheilicldon Friday pre- sented 2 most unusual scene. On the previous day large consignments of American beef ar- rived inthe town and were quickly disposed of to the retail butchers. On Friday it wosa being ofiered in the shops and met witha ready sale at prices ranging from 4d to 94 per Ib, the 1atter price being charged for the primest joints and cuts. At first the butchers were disposed to have mnothing to do with the mat, but on alarge shop being opened for the sale of it by o firm of grocers they wisely decided to sell it. The cffect of the introduction of Amer- jcan meat fnto Sheflield has already been greatly to reduce the price of home produce. Euglish beef and mutton, even the best joints, were be- ing sold on Friday at 8d per 1b. On Saturday the sales were continued with unabated vigor, and the chief importer’s stock was cleared out before 6 o'clock in the evening. There was a fair supply of theimported beef throughout the town, and the effet on the erdinary markets was a reduction of 134d per 1bin the “prices of En- lish beef.

The Effects of the Cixemical Rays on Animal and Vegetable Life. Rheumatism, Deafness, Dyspep- sia, and Other Ailments, Eradicated. COongurrent Testimony from Physicians in New York and Philadelphia, JMaj.-Gen. Pleasonton has just published in book-form a number of addresses, memoirs, ete., written and delivered by himat various times, on the influcnce of the blue rays of the sunlight and the blue color of the skyin de- velooing animat and vegetable life, arresting diseuse, aud restoring life in acute and chronic disorders to human and domestic animals. Among the papers included in this volumeis o lengthy memolr recently read defore the Phila- delphia Society for Promoting Agrlcultare, which contains a vast mass of intercsting facts in regard to Gen. Pleasonton’s specialty, an ab- stract ofswhich Tne TRIBUSE takes great pleas- ure in laying before its readers. In the month of May, 1571, says Gen. Plens- onton, 2 great hail-storm visited Philadelphia and its neighborhood, fuflicting immense damage to gurdens, green-houses, ete. Among the suf- ferers was Mr. Robert Buist, Sr.; who had cx- tensive green-houses near Darby, in some of which nearly all the glass was broken. The damage was repaired and the house reglazed as before with colorless glass. This was before Gen. Pleasonton’s first memoir on the influence of the blue color af the sky.had been. printed. It was too Iate, therefore, for Mr. Bulst, when he read the docu~ wment, to avail bhimself of blue glass. Buthe had at that time o large and valuable collection of geramiums which had become dis- cased. Some had died, others were feeble, los- ing their leaves and flowers, and others, though blooming, were devoid of the brilliant tints of color which they should have possessed. It oo- curred to Mr. Buist that, instead of replacing the colorless glass with blue, he might paint with a light blue color the inside suriace of cach vaueinone of his houses, leaving a margin of an inch and a quarter of uucolored glass around the painted surface, and then place the sickly geranium plants in the house under this glass. The result of this experiment was eminently successful. In two days after the plants were placed in the house they began to put forth new leaves, and at the end of ten days they were more healthy and vigorous than Mr. Buist hid ever scen similar ones of the same varictics. ;in:‘f{r colors were restored and the tints intensi- ed. During the summer of the same - year a pro- fessfonal gardener in Massachusctts {near Bos- ton), who had been trying for some time to pro- tect his young plants from minute insects which fed upon them, after numerous experiments, all of which fatfed, SUCCZEDED WITH THE BLUE RAY. He made a small triangnlar frame, covered it with blue gauze, prepared theground and sowed the seed, covering a portion of the ground with the frame and gauze, leaying the other part ex- posed to the attacks of the insects. Tne plants outside the frame were all caten as soon as they germinated; those under it escaped entirely.. Gen. Pleasonton’s explanation of the phe- nomenon s that tle sunlizht neeatively elec- trified fu passing through the meshes of the blue gauze, which is positively electritied, ex- cites an electro-maguetic carrent sufficiently strong to destroy the fecble vizality of the ezgs or of the insects themselves, which are in sofl with the sced, leaving the seed to germinate rapidly under its influence. A ldy residiug n Philadelphia_aiso informed the General that, having some choice plants in pots in her sitting-room whidh were drooping, she threw over them a common blue gauze veil, such as ladies wear, and c)fFDsfld them to the sunlight, and in a short time they were fully restoged to health and vigor. The General also says on the- insect question that, baving jutroduced blue glass iuto the windows of one of his servants’ Slceping-rooms, it was naticed that large numbers of flies which had previously infested them were soon found dead on the iuside sills of the windows. A gentleman in West Philadelphia had alarge lemon-tree, which e prized highly. He placcd it 1n his hall near the vestibule door, the side lights of which were of glass of diffcrent colors, Dblue and violet predominatin; The sunlight passing through these side lights fell upon a portion of the branches of the lemou-tree, aud great vizor was fmparted to the vitality of " these brancies, which ere tilled with fine {ruit, while other branches which did not receive the light from the biue and vio- let penes were small and without fruit. e carly vegetables used in the General’s family are” for the most part started in pots under blue and plain glass, then transplanted into proper sofl, and ate ready for use several, weeks in advance of the market. Thus be has used corn as early 2s July 12, which does not ordinarily mature until Aug. 10. CONODORE GOLDSBOROCUGI'S EXPERIMENTS. During the lavter part of 1871, Commodore idsborough learned of Gen. Pleasonton’s ex- periments and proceeded to imitate them at Mound City, Ill., where he was then stationed. “The first trial was made by the Surgeon, who had every alternate pane of uncolored glass re- moved_1rom each of two windows in his parlor, and substituted for them corresponding panes of blue glass. A number of plants and vines of many varieties. potted, were properly placed in the room, and iu a short time beman to mani- fest the effects of the remarkable iufluence to which they had been subjected. Their growth was rapid, and they increased in the length of their branches from one inch and a half to three inches, according to their species, every twenty- four hours. 3 ‘The second experiment was made on the de- velopment of the newly-hatched chickens of o broods of the same virictye hatched on the same day. One of the coops was partly covercd with biue and plain glass; the other coop was a common one. The chickens were fed at the same time, with cqual quantitics of the same feed. Those under the blue glass soon began to displuy_the ciTects of the stimulating influence of the blue and sun light by their daily almost visible growth and increase of aciivity, far excecding the development of the chi of the other brood. ‘Early in 1872 the wife of oneof the gentlemen on the station gave birth prematurely to a child weighing only three and a half pounds, Tt was very fecble, possessing but little vitality. The windows of the room in which it was born and reared were draped with blue curtzins, through which and the plain glass windows the sunlight entered the room.. ‘The lacteal system of the mother was seatly excited und scoreted an _excessive _quantity of milk, while at the same time the child’s apvetite was increased to such an extent that the mother sometimes found it diflicult tosatisfy its hun- ger. The child grew rapidly, and four months after its birth weighed twenty-two pounds, being at e rate of four and five-cigiths pounds per mouth. A DEAF AND RHEUSATIC MULE. Gen. Pleasanton proceeds to relate the follow- ing extraordinary circwnstance: At the close of the late Civil War hie bonght a couple of mules which had beca in the military service. One of them wus completely deaf, his hearing having been destroged Ly the moise of heavy firing. Two or three years after the General got him the animal = was sefzed with So-violent acute rheumatism that he could not Walk. Hegot a great deal better of it, but his deafness continued until the spring of 1574, when Le recovered entirely from both deafness and rheumatism. Over each of the doors,of the stable to_which he had been moved was a tran- som with panes of bluc and colorless glass. The stall of this mule was before a door with such & transom over it, and the rising sun cast ifs light through the transom on to the neck and back of the head of this mule. Inthe af- ternoon he threw his light again upon tie head and neck of this mule through the transom of a side door. The ellect of this lizht upon the animal was the cure of his rheu- matism and tue removal of his deafness; and he §s now &8 healthy and hearty a mule as canbe seen snywhere. The removal of the deafness was produced by au electro-maguetic current evolved by the two lights upon his Saditory erves and exciting them to healthy actlon. SILE. After the publication of the General’s experi- ments with Elne light an eminent Italian chem- ist beman some experiments in the rearing of silk-worms, to hatch the eggs of which an even femperature of o certalg degree of heat is in- dispensable, as well a5 great care in feeding zud Leeping them clean after théwormsare ‘hatch Thip ehemist placed a certain_number of the unaer plain_glass, and egzs 30 per cent dicd i the hatching and_rearing. He then placed the smne upder violet giass, and only 10 per cent perished. Had he used the blue glass, the loss would probably have been nearly nominal. FUMAN DISEASES. The General then procceds to state a remark- able case in which the power of the associated blue and sun light was manifested in thecure of human diseasc. In the latter part of August, 1871, he visited a physician in Philedelphiz, whom he knew, and found him in great distress because le feared that he was about to lose hfs wife, who ias suf- fering from disorders which had baffled the skill of niost eminent_physicians. She had great pains in her lhead and neck, and In the lower part of her back, could not sleep, and was rapidly wastivg awsy. The General asked him why he did not try blue glass, and the Dactor said that wives would fre- | quently reject the advice of husband, while they would accept it if offered_by any one else. It Gen. Pleasanton would advise her to use it he thouzlit it not unlikely that she would accept. The General called upon her, found ler looking very miserable, ereatly emaciated, and her voice feeble. He psked her why she dido’t try blue glass, and she replied thatshe nad tried so many things, and bad had so many doctors, that she was out of conceit of all remedies. Final- I¥, however, she consented to tryit the next ay. .Six days after the physician wrote to Gen. Pleasanton that since his wife had been under the blue glass the hair on her head haa bezun to grow, not merely longer, but in places Yhich were bald new hair was coming out thick. ‘Two days subsequently the General called on the Doctor toee¢ howiihe experiment succeeded. His wife entered, and, being asked how the treatment answered, said it was doing her the greatest possible good. When she put her naked foot under the blue light all the pains in the leg ceased, and the pains in her back \ere less, and there was a general improvement in her health. Three weeks afterward the Doctor said that the arrangewment of blue and sun light had been a complete suceess with his wife. -Her ains had left her, she slept well, her appetite fl:ldhmtumcd, and she had already gaised much esh. This physician, Dr. 8. N. Beckwith, wrote a letter to Gen. Pleasonton on the subject, in which he says that be introduced an equal num- ber of panes of clear and blue glass into the sash, and then his wife exposed to the action of these essociated lights those portions of her person where she had nenrelgia, In three min- utes the pains were greatly subdued, and in ten minutes almost,_entirely ceased for the time Deing, whether in the head, feet, or spine. With each application of the sun and blue light bath relief was given immediately. During the autumn of 1871 oue of Gen. Pleasonton’s sons, about 23 years age, a very vigorous, muscular young man, had a severe + ATTACK OF REEUMATISM of the selatic merve in his left hipand thigh, from which he had been unable to obtain any rehief. e tried the associated sun znd biue light on his neck, spine, and hip. In three weeks every symptom of the disorder disap- peared, and hie has had no return of it since. Inthe beginning of 1873 Mr. Henry H. Hol- loway, 2 bookseller in Philadelphia, consuited Gen. Pleasonton on the subject of his mother's illness. She had been” confined to her bed *for more than two months with ex- crucfating pains in head and spine, could not sleep, was rapidly wasting away, and the family were in despair lest she should dle. the General thought those sunlight baths would relieve his mother, he wished to have them tried. The General thought they would. The exgerimnuz +as tried with the following result: A few days efter several sun baths were taken in succession she surprised the entire family by getting up and’ aressing herself, while they ere at breakfust. She continued to Improve rapidly, and has now almost regained her usual health. During most of the time of her illncss she suffered from an intense_pain in the upper part of the snine and her head, and the galvanic ‘battery had been regularly usea in the hope of mitigating it. he sun baths lessened this pnin materially, and induced o profuse per- sgimtlon that relicved the interior organs from their obstructions, whicn medicines and the galvanic battery nad failed to do. The General subsequently saw this lady, who stated to him that for two Eeu-; prior to the use of these baths she had had no perceptible perspiration, but after the third of them the most copious ferflpimflon broke out all over her, particular- iy in her neck and shoulders. She had called her daughter to witness it, who scraped it with ber lands from her neck and shoulders asa oom does from a horse that has been hard iven or ridden in summer. Mr. Holloway, the gentleman whose mother’s case is given above, tried these sun-baths fora theumatism with which he was afflicted, and after four of them had no returns of rheuma- tism, though six months had elapsed, and he Tad been much exposed tn stormy weather. 'DR. ROBERT, RORLAND, a distinguished physician of New York, writes to Gen. Pleasonton that, in 1672 he exposed a man suffering with severe rheumatism to the 1nfluence of the bluc light through two glass panes. He felt, after fifteen mioutes, much relieved, and could move about without pains, but complained of o nasty metallic taste on bis tongue. Dr. William M. McLaury, of New York, tried the blue glass in 1874 on o little girl, one month old, who'had s hard-resisting tumor about the size of arobin’s egy in the sub-maxillary region of e left side. e had it placed in such a position that the rays of light through the blue rlass impinged upon it one_hour at least cach ay. This tumefaction disappeared entirely within forty days. The child is developing astonisbingly, and has not known an hour’s sickness or discomfort, its peculiar freedom from infantine ills being attributed by the Doc- tor at least in some degree to the influence of the biue light. OTHER CASES, . Some time ago the wife of Maj.-Gen. C., of the United States Regular Army, told Gen. Pleasonton that one of her grandchildren, a little boy about 18 months old, had from his birth bad so little use of his lexs that he could neithier crawl mor walk, and was apparently so enfeebled in them that she began to fear the chfid was permanently paralyzed. She there- fore requested the child’s mather to send him with his two young sisters to play in the entry of the second story of her houee, where she had fitted up a window with blue and plain glass in cqual provortions. _This was done, and fn a few days Mrs. C. stated that the child manifested Fre:xt improvement fn the strength of its limbs, having learned to climb by a chair, to crawl, and to walk, and wasas promising a child as any one is Jikely to wish. The General also gives the case of alady in New York who had been placed under the infin- ence of the associated light of the sunand the blue light of the firmament, having been an in- valid for nicarly threc years, for the last half of that time confined to her rooms. She became go reduced end her nervous system so broken down that all tonies lost their effect; sleep could only be obtained by oplates; there was no appetite, and scarceiy ‘a vestige of color re- mained in her lips, facc, or bands. As a last re- sort she tried the blue-glass rays. She sat con- tinually for twenty or thirty minutes 2t a time, the rays falling “dircctly on the spine. The effects were too strong for her to bear, and as she was progressing favorably by merely sitting in it in her ordinary dress, that was consid- cred suflicicnt. In two or three weeks a change began to show. The color returned to her Tace; her appetite was more natural, and Tier whole nervous system was strenzthened and soothed. In eix wecks ghe was allowed to walk down-stairs, and, in a few weeks more, when the weather was pleasant, was able'to walk out. Tbe experiment was a peculiarly fair one, be- cause all tonics, ete., were stopped a3 soon ag the blue glass was placed in the window. A distinguished surzeon of Philadelphia has expressed to the author the opinion that the Keep's ehirts unless perfectly satisfactory. 173 Madison-st. ——— Dunbar's Bethseda Water for kidnoy dif- calties.
