In surgery It was discovered 1 in IS 1895 1805 5 by Wilhelm Konrad lt Roentgen a German Germun scientist Many of or us know something about radium too a wonderful mineral minerai substance discovered discovered discovered dis dis- covered in 1902 1002 by Madame Curie Curle a French woman scientist Radium also is of great value alue in n 1 the medical world so so much so that the chief countries are producing It at go government expense for hospital use Now comes the announcement of t another another an an- other valuable discovery In the eden selen world world world-n a new kind of light ray that has hns marvelous marvelous marvelous' curative curative properties properties properties proper proper- ties one that may revolutionize certain tain tafu phases of the healing art It is called the Simpson ray and may be considered one of ot the war monsters monster's gifts to to humanity In lu compensation for millions of ot lives destro destroyed ed Sometime ago William Simpson a n Scotch ph physics engineer was experimenting c. c experimenting peri to develop a n nery very ery hard armor plate He was using power high electric electric elec elec- currents to produce great grent heat Now no man knows more than a comparatively comparatively com com- few properties of ot electricity Civilization has harnessed this infinitely in- in Infinitely In in- I finitely powerful force In nature to some extent but electricity Is constantly con doing something In harness to puzzle those who us use It So It came to pass that while Simpson was experimenting expert expert- one of those puzzling things gs happened and the Simpson n ray Fay was discovered to be named after atter Its dis dis- coverer Mary Boyle OReilly an nn American newspaper woman was In London not long ago ugo and she went to Interview Simpson at ut his bis laboratory Here Isher Is Ish Isher her h r report Take rake S-rays S and keep young for tor a n hundred years said William Simpson Scottish discoverer of ot Simpsons Simpson's light drawing forward a wheeled standard from which a spluttering electric arc nrc gave out faint white smoke smoked Xou 1 ou are suffering from bronchial hoarseness let the light cure It while we talk It has hus no danger ray causes no burns makes no martyrs and It kills every germ within ten seconds Pasteur and taught that to kill germs Is to create a new world Without germs there can be no epidemic diseases Also the S ray softens hardened arteries and loosens adhesions That stops age prolongs maturity and Increases efficiency We will yet be able to keep young for a n century Already the Royal Med leal cal society insists that the S-ray S Is the greatest thing In the medical world 1 I Your hoarseness now I 1 spoke and my voice was entirely I clear clear- I call the
