Passaic City Record

A lady residing in the older part of the city, fond of all the comforts afforded by the latest discoveries in the arts and sciences, holds a theory regarding healthful temperature of the body which she has carried out in a practical manner. During the summer she wears what she calls "pulse coolers," her theory being that the entire blood circulation may be raised or diminished in temperature by proper appliances at the wrists. The "pulse coolers" are composed of spheroids of rose quartz, about an inch in diameter, linked together with filigreed silver and forming a handsome bracelet. The spheroids were cut by a local lapidary, and their quality of absorbing cold in preference to heat is remarkable. For winter, the pulse warming bracelets consist of a strip of asbestos, a noted non-conductor, an inch wide, enveloped in gold-embossed velvet, buckled with a loop of diamonds. The lady claims that when wearing these she is proof against any suffering caused by extreme variations of the weather.—Philadelphia Record.
