Red Light and the Mind.

Dr Andrew Wilson, writing in the Scotsman, says:— A medical journal notes also a curious fact regarding the ase of red light in respect of its mental influences. At Lyons, where smallpox was so treated, the attendants as well as the patients became highly excited. The patients demanded to be let out into tbe ordinary daylight, while the nursrs had to be provided with blue spec tacles before they could discharge their duties _ A similar tffecfe is noticed in the case o! people who work amon^ nd glass, People who require to execute their daily tasks in this light, as in the oaae of certain photographic m .r.ipu lators in factories, have been observrd to develop periods of brain excitement, This is a curious faot, and it gives rise to reflections of afar-extending nature.

The case of the proverbial red rag and the ball will occur to everybody m an instance of the mental or ner vous provocation which arises when red colour is shown, Then also we employ red as a danger signal, a fact that is not without its bearings.

On the whole question of colour and the miDd, my own idea ia that the re lationship between excitement and red colour has arisen from the fact that blood is red, and that there has been developed c natural repugnance to red because of the association of the colour with danger to life in the shape of haemorrhage. Such a linkage- of ideas, perpetuated from the far back past, would more than suffice to establish a powerful suggestion of danger asso ciated with the red hue

Again, all our ideas of war aud car nage are expressed In terms of red. «The blood-red planet Mara * is a familiar line that proves how even planetary affairs have been lugged in.o the sanguinary atmosphere. The con trast between irritating red and sooth ing green i& also most marked. You insensibly experience relief and a sense of coolness when your eye contemplates a green hue, and again, I think, this result may have arisen naturally in the course of human evolution through green being the prevailing tint of nature Tbera is quite a philosophy of colour to be found in its relation to human mental phases. The colour sense is so intimately bound up with our mental constitution that ib is not wonderful to discover carios variations in its effects upon man and animals under different circumstances of exis tence.

It may not; be known to most of my readers that medicine can point to certain definite experiences in con nection with the influence of light in Its relations to the disease in question. For example, it waa long ago held that patients were safer to be kept in the dark, and that the marking or pit ting of tbe face was thereby prevented or much modified. I also note that it is recorded that in Japan and even in Roumania, smallpox patients are kpp^ under red surroundings, being clotheri in red garments, and having their bed isanging. of the same hoe.' The explanation was given that if the chemic.l rays of light were pre vented from affecting patient?, benr-fi might be derived, and accordingly light was allowed to reach them through rod glass only. The results of these ex periences were of a varied nature. In some cases the effects were regarded a? highly encouraging. In others, it was assertf d that the only cases that could be selected as reliable ones were just those of mild smallpox that would have recovered under any natural system ol treatment, light or no light. In a third set of cases no advantage whatever could be recognised as due t> the light treatment of the disease.
