WONDERS OF RADIUM

According to Sir William Ramsey, if proper mechanical means '\v ere available to draw off its energy at will, one atom of pure radium would furnish sufficient power to drive the entire British Navy on a trip round the world.

Radium will give forth light, heat, and vibration for a period of eighteen hundred years before losing one-half of its volume.

The sun gives forth light, heat, and various waves of magnetic vibration. This stream ol' solar energy is, no doubt, necessary to hold our earth in place, and, since the sun is necessary to the very earth itself, it naturally follows that in a more or less degree, it is necessary to all things on our planet. Without going into a lengthy discourse on this theme, suffice it to say that the sun is the god of life. Without its energy, we could not exist, Pence it is hut natural for man to turn to the source of all material life for physical health, strength, and power. The great healing power of this wonderful clement is due to the fact that it is what is termed, “radioactive," that is to say, it emits spontaneously rays or waves of energy travelling at a rate of from 12,000 to 180,000 miles a second. These rays have Ihe power to penetrate most substances, arid exert a remarkably stimulating influence upon the circulation of 11 1 0 blood.

if the blood he in perfect condition, no germ can gain enough headway i<* cause disease, because (lie healthy corpuscles of Ihe blood will devour it and cast it off.

No medicine of any kind actually cures. It is not the medicine, which heals a cut, burn, or other ailment. The medicine merely holds in check or obviates Hie germ that keeps the blood or tissues from performing their natural functions.

The same applies to all ailments. If Ihe tissues are healthy ihey’ vill gradually reconstruct themselves, and eventually rebuild the injured part into its original condition.
