CURE BY COLOUR

REMEPT FOE SHELL-SHOCK AND WAB NEUEOSIS. ' A novel suggestion was made by Mr. A. A. Frev in a recent address on "Chromopathy: Healing by Colour." «t. a meeting of ho Psyoho-Thorapeutic Society. In the violet-Tay, said Mr. Frey, we had a most potent remedy for fibock and war neurosis, from which tnanv thousands of our soldiers were suffering.

"The treatment," eaid Mr. Frey, "is simple and pleasant. A large room or ball, into which all light admitted is violet, and the whole decoration tho same, will 6erve to treat largo numbers of cases at the same time. The effect will bo improved, and tho euro hastened if suitable music be provided, tho sounde to be in the key corresponding to tho colour. By thefio means wo should reotore the warworn and bring happiness back to many homes." There was great need for researoh work, said Mr. Frey, in the flold of colour cure. Colour was trarely a matter of vibration, which oonld ne traced down to the electrons. Hero, surely, was a guide to thinking and scientific men to employ the colour that brought all vibration into harmony to cure disease and ensure good health. Colour .cure was known in England in the fourteenth century, for John of fiallendon cured the son of Kinrr Edward of smallpox by tho red Tay. China, Japan. Rumania, and Sweden need the tho colour ray. Italy followed by curing the insane by blue and red colour, according to tho form of insanity. In Spain children were healod of measles and other dieoases with red colour and given red syrup to assist the cure. Tho cure for all disease was to restore tho normal harmonioM vibration by the colour ray that suits the complaint. "Wives who thought they had lost the Invn of their husbands might console themselves with the fact that there was no lack of affection, but simply a physical disability caused by the disruptive shell-shock to the normal harmonious vibrations of the body cells. The euro was to restore the harmony. They were justified in hoping _ that colour would also euro cancer, said the lecturer, who added that it greatly relieved the sufferings of the lato Catherine Booth, mother of the Salvation Army, whoso case was too advanced for cure.
