Negroes CITY DIRECTORY To every southerner it is a well- known fact that the impostqi' who goes down among the ncfjrp cabins with a implexion bleaeji for sale always reaps a harvest, says the New York American. In many southern cities are local or dinances for the prosecution of such men to protect the negroes from themselves. To Jiavo the skin of a white man or woman is a thing infinitely to be desired. Now there conies forth a scien tist of Philadelphia, a man of highest reputation, whose state ments receive the support of equally reputable scientists of this city, declaring that with the use of the Crook’s tube, or X-ray, lie can turn the complexion of the, Blackest man to a beautiful, soft, .creamy white color. The claimant of the startling discovery that the negro can be made white is none other than Dr. Henry K. Pancoast, of the Uni versity Hospital of Philadelphia. He is an X-ray export. 'He has used it in the treatment of a cancer' and of skin disease with a success that has been universally record- -ed in medical journals. On the desk of Dr, Pancoast is! 1 to be found numerous photographs! of-negroes— photographs .without the slightest attempts at .coloring —(revealing a rejnarkalile con-; dition of the negro’s skin. I11 some cases large patches of the skin show white. I11 others small patches are shown. In two cases Dr. Pancoast avers that, with the aid of the mysterious tube, he has completely changed the patient’s complexion, making, in short, white out of black.
