The Human Aura: A Scientific Article (llustrated)

THERE can be no doubt of the existence of the human aura which has now been made visible by means of "Dicyanin," a coal tar dye. There is nothing occult about the Aura. Walter J. Kilner, B.A., M.B., M.R.C.P., late Electrician of St. Thomas' Hospital, London, Eng., in his explanation of the human aura says that we have to do here with an ultra-violet phenomenon. The aura is not ordinarily visible to the naked human eye, unless re-inforced by a dicyanin screen. It is a new subject of great importance, and we know our readers will be much'interested in Dr. Kilner's researches. In trying to explain the phenomenon of the human aura, Dr. Kilner thinks that it is due to ultra-violet rays. Mr. Gernsback sets forth the theory that Dr. Kilner merely has made visible the odorous envelope surrounding the human body. The emanation given of by a piece of scented soap, for instance, is very material. If you could make this scent visible, you would see a misty "aura" surrounding the soap. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable article about Dr. Kilner’s research on the human aura. The article is illustrated with several pictures an diagrams.
