(Q) In Health Light Rooms will the best practice use carbon
arc or mercury vapor lamps?
(A) These are two entirely different fields, and should ever
be considered so. The mercury lamps are in one field, and
are for those that offer the better elements for conditions
of the nerve systems of the body; while the carbon will offer
the greater developments for those that will aid deeper
conditions and those that affect the structural portion of a
body. These should be taken into consideration. In the
development of the mercury lamps, the mercury quartz light
that floods a room will be the better to develop. While in
the carbon, this will offer a different basis - and here may
it be added, that where carbon is used in a near vacuum, were
the residue of the combustion produced, or the ash from
combustion be saved, it will prove to be the by-product that
is even more valuable than MANY treatments for certain
conditions. Any element that is an abrasion to the epidermis
may be healed by such - see? Those even where they have been
in such a condition as to be impossible under other
circumstances to be healed, used with the mercury light and
the carbon ash will respond to such treatments. Then, in
considering these, and in considering developments of light
treatments and light rooms, consider both - and consider
ESPECIALLY THIS by-product. Carbon, burned with a core and
with a solid, produce - in the partial vacuum in which burned
- an ash. This the ash referred to. We find then, this the
product. The carbon in its normalcy, or as reduced, to be
used as the carrier, and the oxygen of the air in combination
with the other elements of the air, creating then an entirely
different element, that is so purified, and clarified, that
the carbon and oxygen is absorbed in HUMAN body when applied
to same? That is this ash, see? Scrofula, or sores, eczema,
tubercular conditions - exterior tubercular conditions of
bone, where carbon light and the mercury and carbon ash used,
would respond to such treatments. Any condition of the blood
that produces abrasions on body; as measles, fever of certain
natures, would respond - even the ash when burned and
quantities taken internally would be even more VALUABLE than
when water treated by radium, or treated by any of the
elements that act in the form of the eliminators of a human
body. A great field here, worth developing, and will prove
PHENOMENAL in its success.
(Q) Will a different type lamp be developed from either
carbon arc or mercury vapor lamp?
(A) As outlined here, these will both soon have their place
in the development, and should both be considered.
(Q) Will ultra violet or infra red rays predominate?
(A) Ultra violet and infra red - one comes from the one, the
other from the other. Both have their place in the
treatments for various conditions in mankind. The highest
vibration as is set off in a human body, are the infra - or
even a higher ray than the infra red; is even of a higher
vibration than the ultra violet, which is the more
penetrating, yet the infra red is not as destructive to
tissues that involve the portions of the body, such as the
covering of bone structure itself. Thence, as may be seen
easily from this, where conditions are of such nature that
the blood supply in a body is in such a condition, or such
elements enter into the blood stream as where injury to the
outer or inner covering of the bone itself, these would prove
detrimental - BUT where the conditions are such that these
need to be penetrated, these become helpful, in the infra red
and in the violet ray. These work on the same principle, as
has been given as respecting the application of universal
forces to recuperative forces or elements in the body; or the
body is an illustration of elements as are in outside
influences. Then, conditions as we are treating of are as
those effective directly to the body. Now, we find in man's
force, no one is able to find a voice, or even a sight. That
with which each is accomplished in the human system may be
located, but HOW it produces same in man and doesn't produce
same in lower animals has NEVER been discovered! and it'll
be a good long time before it will! The variation is that
vibration as is created between what is known as that of the
purely MENTAL forces as active with a body in the variation
between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal nervous system,
and as coordinates with that known as the SENSORY system,
which we find then gives hearing, sight, feeling; merely a
differentiation in vibrations created in system. In lights,
the ultra-violet and infra-red, merely a differentiation in
vibrations as are created. Each acting in a DIFFERENT
capacity to the vibration as is accorded in the system. Do
not get from this that these will be GOOD for EVERYTHING, but
they will be good for SOMETHING to EVERY body! [GD's note:
See
165-17, Par. 42-A saying that the Burdick mercury quartz
(ultra-violet ray) stand lamp is "the best so far".]
(Q) What would be the result of an association among
ourselves and medium sized competitors for safe-guarding raw
material situation?
(A) This rather a large condition, even for consideration -
while the possibilities are enormous for each associate in
such an undertaking. This would be from the material
standpoint, for each one so associated, a real worth while
proposition, but the varied interests are such that this
should be well considered before such an undertaking was put
into action; yet this may be made plausible, feasible, and
worth while. All those in the same field of endeavor, even
though that field in which each manufacture is in a different
DIRECTION, yet the raw MATERIALS are that from which each
manufacturer or group is to draw from. Then, to be able to
control same, by the use and by the manner in which each
would draw from same, would certainly be made, or could be
made, worth while. Worth studying. Worth considering.
Hardly the propitious time at present, but should be kept in
mind.
(Q) Should Denny-Hilborn & Rosenbach of Philadelphia be
included?
(A) Many of these may be included. Not hardly time to
include ANYONE until these in their individual capacities
have been well grounded in the undertaking. Now, to APPROACH
these, that such may be made plausible or possible, would not
be the thing at the present time. Study the situation well
before even such an undertaking is even given other than
thought to.
(Q) In approaching decorative work in our New York office,
is the approach through architects or interior decorators?
(A) Interior decorators, rather than the architects; for few
real architects know MUCH of decoration, yet they THINK they
know most! but these are NOT to be COMBINED with these
conditions as may be approached. The interior decorators,
then, and this should not require other than the personal
approach in a one, two, or three man approach; that is,
showing what may be accomplished by the PRODUCTS, and what is
being worked out by those that are working in a field for
such decorators.
(Q) Does this entail general advertising?
(A) This has just been given.
(Q) Is our best approach to Victor Company through Stain,
Filler or Lacquer or all of them?
(A) Through the lacquer, for this a very definite reason.
First, there has just been given that lacquers should be the
predominating field of the endeavors of this association, or
this group. Next, the lacquer finishings and the lacquer
developments are almost in their infancy, as to what will be
accomplished, even for the Victor people and every other one
that finishes such cabinets; for soon this, with the
development of the sound forces, ought to be made a part of
each other - for again we come to vibrations. To be sure, as
this field is worked out, so will come the stains and
fillers, but the lacquer field is the one to approach
through, and much will be accomplished in this field, as we
see.
(Q) Can our designing service be of assistance there?
(A) To be sure. This is indicated in what has just been
given, as to how they are to be helpful in the finishes as to
be accomplished with this particular firm.
(Q) Advice is desired regarding the Detroit field in our
line and our new sales representative there, Mr. Fast.
(A) That's a good word with the conditions, isn't it? As
has been intimated and shown, this field offers rather a
tough proposition at the present stage of the game, as we
would give it in such phrases, were they permissible - but
little advice may be given yet, just in this particular line,
until there has been some effort made in a material way, and
in a real mental way. Then we may aid farther along not just
at present.
(Q) In order to increase our business, how can our customer
[[
5540] ... Co.] increase their business with Sears-Roebuck?
(A) This should not be hard to be accomplished. The natural
output of these are great, and these need be only made more
desirable by the individuals; or spend just a stipulated
amount for the national advertising of the products, or
assist the channel to place before the housewife and others
the gain by the owning of such products. See? That doesn't
entail a GREAT amount of money - not a great amount of money,
for this will show results in its proper way and manner. Do
not "shoot" all over and expect it to get very much. Make
it in certain sections. Begin in certain sections, or
certain fields, and work each field in its Proper way and
manner. The household magazine [The Household Magazine?],
too, of course, being the better, but let these be in their
own particular field, see?
(Q) Have we sufficient chance to land the business of the
Hoosier Manufacturing Company for [
5616] to continue to work
With them?
(A) They have!
(Q) Are we working through the proper individuals with the
Kelvinator Company, Leonard division?
(A) Very good, and this should be able to accomplish that
desired.
We are through for the present.
