XThat bllnduoss can be overcome and the eyes regenerated by a new method Of utilizing X rays Is the discovery claimiil to have been made by « j»rotn- i Inent New York piiyalelan and sur feon.

And whoh t!jc Acad emy of Medicine resumes its meeting* in the fall he IVill make a full report to that body oa the auec<-M he has at , talmsl in ibese cases. Despite Dr, Cook's desire to keep his work a secret uutU the time arrives fot trnk-ng it known througli medical chan nels, several of those who declare he bc.s benefited them are enthusiastic in their w ish to tell of what it has done for them. Remarkable atatementt regarding the manner in which the X rays had re stored their sight were made recently to a New York American reporter by 1 Several of these patients. T. J. Byrne of New York city said: M I was going blind when 1 liegau to take the Roentgen ray treatment and could not recognize a friend who passed me ou the street. Now I can distin guish faces for a distance of half a block and can read the finest print" Mrs. Rose Bopf of New York city Mid: “The sight of my left eye was dim med, and the right Was totally blind. Though I bud worn glasses for more than fifteen years, my. sight was rapid ly falling when I started the X ray j treatment At the present time l can ! see with the eye that formerly was useless, and the left one has improved •o much that I have stop|>ed wearing glasses." Even more striking than these two cases is that of Frank Comstock of ' Meriden, t'onn., which is vouched for by Mr. Ryrne. Comstock Was totally ' %itbout vision when lit? was first treat ed with the rays, the retina of one eye being detached, w hile the other had been badly affected by degeneration of the nerves He was then unable to make hi* way through the streets with out assistance. He Is now able to read ami con find his way easily from place ‘to place without any help. . • I>r. Cook's discovery of the method Wrhlch he uses in applying the X rays to the eyes was made while treating caheer with the i*»w>rf#il light 1 While 'trying to hit on.« plan for preventing .his. patient Cfcmi tieing burned he de- x tided the only way to do this was to nlake the exposilres of the light upon the subject Intermittently. When be .. tried this be found the rays were .lps£ as effective, while they did not leave any harmful effects. ’" He concluded, therefore, that the . fault lay in the fact that the rays were , uaad for a continuous period, which resulted in Irritation following quick- IT upon the stimulation which was •ought. After that he modified the . ftmteent to ‘•flashoa." these being for Jwt • second, bat of great power. Shortly after this step bad been tak en a young woman who had baan Mind t far twenty-seven yanra applied to him.
