been making research in this field and who have learned the value o. color ray in eye treatment. The two better known function- ing groups today are the College of Syntonic Optometry in the United States and the Roy- al College of Science in Toronto, Canada. Instruments especially adapted for projecting the visible color lights directly upon and into the eyes have been found strikingly effective in the treatment of cataracts, toxic ambly- opia, subnormal vision, night blindness, color blindness. sensitiveness to light Qphotopho- biaj. strabisnius or cross-eyes. and many other ocular nerve disorders. Chromotherapy has been found particular- ly helpful in cases of over-active nervous hy- pertension, tonic spasm of accommodation, emotional nervousness and hyper-sensitive ness. Because these cases frequently find it impossible to relax completely, it is dillicult for them to accent or tolerate the static ret- inoscopic finding at one meter. After sev- eral relaxing color treatments the patient will usually be able to accept the retinoscop- ic finding with ease. :Xl fl? if PUBLICATIONS CONCERNED XVITH CHROMOTHERAPY l.

ZUCKERBRAUN TO HEAD SCOPE STAFF Hfith the graduation day rapidly approach- ing, the present long-suffering staff of The Scope will hand over its reins to a com- pletely new regime, headed by Leonard Zuck- erbraun in the ofhce of Editor-in-Chief. Aid- ing and abetting him in his task will be Lew- is Rabinowitz as associate editor and the ed- itor's right hand man. The business managers oflice, certainly a most important post, will be handled by Theodore Goolst. whereas Y'Villiam Myers will move up from the ranks and take charge of the circulation department. The office of advertising manager is ttill open to an aggressive member of the student body. The new staff will have its assignment ahead of it-to keep the publication at the professional and literary level established by the previous staff and to improve on it-if possible. To accomplish this, the Whole- hearted support of the entire student body is solicited for the magazine during the com- ing year.

institution physician's, or metaphysicians library is complete without available text- books treating upon this great Natural Color Science and Art. Nothing can compare to the sunlight colors as a health producer, dis- ease eliininator, and beauty builder. Even the healthful air itself depends on Colorful Nature. The attention of the Twentieth Century world was focused upon the miraculous cure wrought upon the body of King George ol Britain who, stricken by 11 serious illness, had been pronounced close to death after his medical staff had exhausted all resources to effect a cure. Then, thinking no harm could be done, a therapeutic expert, with the heal- ing Color-rays, was called in to treat the King. Immediately after the Color-rays were project- ed a noticeable improvement started and in- creased day by day until the King was re- covered. Ancient writers said that the red blood is the life. Science has proven that the Sun Colors are the life of the blood, which dis- tributes this sunlight energy to every organ and cell of the body. Chromologists ancl Chromo-Therapeutists agree that scientifical- ly and naturally one can heal through Color- light rays by charging and activating the nerves, glands, and blood-in fact, every or- gan and cell in the body. If sunlight is examined through an equi- lateral high-power Prism, and then the re- flected Colors cast from the Prism upon a screen or mirror, we can readily observe a spectrum of violet, indigo, blue, purple. green, yellow, orange, and red. Three inches above the violet, it will be found that finer Color-waves sent by the sun are causing a powerful chemical effect which makes plants grow. One inch below the spectrum are ether waves of heat. Color lights cuie by helping the body tis- sues help themselves. Therefore, light rays may cure even when they cannot seem to reach directly the affected areas, since a vital response of the entire body occurs when ex- posed to light. Projected Color lights focused upon the body generally not only assist in curing a local condition but benefit the whole body. The principle of Color Therapy is to har- ness the seven visible colors of the sunlight spectrum into electrical energy by the use of a white filtered projector lamp and clear crystal ophthalmic lenses and prisms with the seven basic selectors, together with their vis- ible colors, and five commonly used combina- tions, which total of 12 comprises a wide range of application in the Therapeutic field. Many other combinations, however, may be built up according to the individual require- ment as indicated by the varying conditions of the body and cyes. It is logical to conclude that, if Natures invisible infra-red, ultra-violet, X-rays, and radium rays, well known and commonly used, are beneficial to health and growth, the visi- ble energy rays would also be as helpful, or even more so. The visible sun and its vital- izing offspring of color-energies are friendly fellows. Each individual color-energy is capable of serving mankind, both physically and psychologically. A color-ray Normalizer Projector with requisite accompaniments is far preferable to the mercury lamp light or the ordinary makeshift colored lamps, since it has an adaptable penetration and is not dangerous to the patient, as it does not burn, blister, or have any after effects. It more closely duplicates the actual solar spectrum and can be regulated for any size body sur- face or applied directly to the eyes without any harmful effects. 56 all 3? CHROMOTHERAPY ADAPTED TO EYE CARE Chromotherapy is proving to be the most revolutionary modern forward step in the re- conditioning of the entire ocular nervous sys- tem. Vfonderful progress has been made in this field during the past ten years by a grow- ing group of scattered optometrists who have PAGE FIVE

For years, a regular practice seems to have de- veloped Qusually starting as an accommodation to a patientj of permitting the patient to call at the wholesaler's for various small optical services. Upon investigation it might be found by the optometrist or optician that this habit is often responsible for a loss of valuable pat- ronage. The patient becomes acquainted with the wholesaler, and later sales of services and of optical items are Rpt to be made direct from the wholesaler to the patient. Therefore, if you, reader, wish to send one of your patients to a wholesale house, it would be advisable for you to appreciate the fact that you are taking the chance of sooner or later losing this patient.
