This custom wasin vogue ages before the Spanish Conquest, and was common among the abori-gines of America, from Yucatan to the Arctic Sea. We have, therefore, historic proof that light rays have been used from timeimmemorial in the treatment of disease, and, while modern science and modernmethods have attained the same ends, they have not changed the principlesknown to primitive man—but have merely developed the art. As light rays are the oldest and most universally accepted therapeutic agentwe naturally ask—how are they translated into terms of therapy by the humanbody? To which the answer is, through the medium of vibration and penetrativeforce of Fig. 102—Appearance of Special Electric ArcDevised for Eroducing the R-Ray Radiations,Which Have Proven Elxtremely Satisfactory inLight Therapy Treatment for Certain Diseasesand Ailments. H. Rosenthal, in The Electrical Experimenter, May 1917. 164 Anthony Matijaca Light and electrical radiations are both waves that are projected throughspace at the same velocity. They are identical in nature, though one wave lengthor radiation may differ fi^om another, the same as one sound wave may vary inlength from another, as found in the various tones or vibrations of music. Yetall wave lengths, whether light or sound, produce their own corresponding vibra-tions, and we therefore recognize all such vibrations in terms of light and sound. Infurther proof of this existing vibratory theory, we have color, which in
