known and acknowledged.
If ] wanted 10 restore o wIthered

treatment would be to expose the limb

know OF q case of painful tumor in
its early stages, which nothing seemed
to relieve like an hour with direct sun
shine falling upon the swelling.
For nervous debility and insomnia
the treatment of all others IS rest in
sunshine. Draw the bed 10 the win
dow and let the patient lie IN the sun
for hours. There is no bromide. no
tonic like it-provided the good effects
are not neutralized by ill-feeding.
The effect Of sunshine is not merely
to raise the heat Of the body its rays
have chemical and electric functions.
A clever physician lately explained that
1t is more than possible that sunshine
produces vibration and changes Of par
ticles in the deeper tissues Of the body
as effective as those Of electricity.
Many know that the relief it affords
TO wearing pain, neuralgia and inham-
matory, is more lasting than that Of
any other application whatever. Those
who have face-ache should prove it for
themselves, sitting in a sunny window
where the warmth falls full on the
cheek. 10 lie on a lounge and 20 to
sleep in the sun is 50 much the better.
Two conditions are necessary-an a.
greeably warm room and pure arr. One

makes one limp after being on a marble

shoulder be exposed, not uncovered, 10
the heat Of the suns rays and remain
there till the sun leaves. IL is q finer
stimulus than wine, electricity, mas

ful therapeutic discoveries concerning
it.
DR.. Thayer, Of San Francisco, has
come to the conclusion that the sun is
the most efficient OF all surgical meth
DDS IN the treatment Of capillary am
eurisms, varicose veins, indolent and
eating ulcers, epithelial cancers, birth,
India ink and powder marks, heulor-
rhoidal and erectile tumors, morbid
growths, as warts, moles, small wens
and all parasitic skin diseases"
Some years ago a London surgeon,by
using the suns rays, presumably with
lens, removed q wine mark from q h
dy's face and destroyed a malignant
growth in the same way.
Says DIR. Thayer: Il have found
no caustic or cautery to compare with
solar heat IN its beneficial results. I'm
like other caustlcs it can be applied
with safety on the most delicate tissues.
The irritation and Inflammation follow
ing are surprisingly slight and Of short
duration, and the pain subsidies imme-
diately on removal Of the lens. There
is a curative power in the chemical rays
Of the sun yet unexplained"
With weak lungs, let the sun fall ON
the chest for hours. If internal tumor
or liberation is suspected, let the sun
burn through the bare skin directly ON
point Of disease for hours daily. There
will be no doubt left in the mind that
there is a curative power IN the chemi-
cal rays Of the sun.
Women, especially, need 10 make
systematic trial Of the suns healing
and rejuyenatIng powers.
For that nervous depression which
results IN shedding hair, in sunken fea-
lures, and ushers dread tuberculosis
tumor and internal inflammation, sun
is the speci6c-sun and rest together.
For the chilliness which causes blue
hands and bad color, resort 10 the sun
let it almost blister the skin, and the
circulation will answer the attraction.
For falling hair and badness, try
the sun on the scalp for lesser periods
ten minutes, often repeated.-ShIrley
