Sir James wylio late physician to iho
Emperor Of Russia attentiycly studied

discovered that the number of patients
who were cured in rooms properly lighted
was four times greater than that of those
confined in dark rooms. This led TO m
complete reform in lighting the hospitals
OF Russia and with tho most beneficial rc.
suits. In all cities visited by the cholera,
1t was universally found that the greatest
number of deaths took place in narrow
streets, and on the sides of those having
anorthern exposure where the salutaw
beams of the sun were excluded. Tho in.
habilants OF the southern slopes of noun
tans are better developed and more
healthy than those who live on the north.
ern sides; while those who dwell in seclu,
ded valleys are generally subject to peculiar
diseases and detormities Of person. These
different results are due to the agency of
light, without a full supply Of which plants
and animals maintain but .icIlly and
feeble existence. Eminent physicians
have observed that partially deformed
children have been restored by exposure
to the sun and the open air. As scrofulo
is most prevalent among children Of tbo
poor, this is attributed by many person.
to their living in dark and confined hons.
