The principles of light and color: including among other things the harmonic laws of the universe, the etherio-atomic philosophy of force, chromo chemistry, chromo therapeutics, and the general philosophy of the fine forces, together with numerous discoveries and practical applications .. . ing the resplendentarray of colors of the chromolume, and not, like that instrument,having the power to cover the whole system at a time, has someadvantages as follows : It concentrates the light at any portion of the body withseveral times its ordinary intensity. It can be moved about with the greatest ease to any desiredposition. It is admirably adapted to artificial lights, as it can be placedon a table, bureau or chair, and turned to any point of the works equally well with sunlight. It is supplied with the blue, the yellow, the red, the purple,and the opalescent white glass, which last admits all the rays in asoftened refined form. The different styles of colored glass areall of the beautiful kind with foliated work, called crystalline glass. It is supplied with a small lens two inches in diameter, sothat in the case of tumors, mothers marks, or very dormant condi-tions, it may concentrate the rays with still greater power, or the 348 CHROMO THERAPEUTICS, OR Fig. Chromo-Disc. lens may be used separately at times. represents the Chromo-Disc.
