    Pamphlet. 96p. staplebound booklet, 3.5x8.5 inches; rear cover had mailing label and postal markings. Dinshah Ghadiali, an immigrant from India who was naturalized as a US citizen in 1917, melded various streams of naturopathy, vegetarianism, and drugless medicine into his practice of Spectro-Chrome therapy, which claimed to fight disease by focusing light of particular wavelengths on the body. He established the Dinshah Spectro-Chrome Institute in Malaga, New Jersey, but was pursued by various regulators on charges of medical fraud. In 1934, a case was brought against him to rescind his citizenship, as had been done to other naturalized Indian immigrants after the 1924 passage of new anti-Asian immigration laws. He argued that the charges were part of a campaign by mainstream medical monopolists to silence him and shut down his institute. He successfully argued in court that although he was born in Bombay, he was descended from Persians, and therefore should not fall under the laws which stripped Hindus of their citizenship. Efforts to shut down his institute continued, however, as this booklet outlines.
