In Their Buildings.
The theory that sunlight exerts a
powerfully healing influence upon dis
ease processes has now become SO well
established that the sunroom is re-
garded as a necessity in a well-ap-
pointed hospital In the plans of new
hospitals that aspire to be up to date
the solarium finds a prominent place.
and to keep up with the advances of
medical science many of the old hospi-
tails are attaching solaria to their
buildings. The sun ward is easily
built 1t must be. of course, ON the
south side of the building, having its
eastern. southern and western walls
largely constructed of glass, says the
New Trained Nurse. good plan is to
build a large bay window, with metal
framework, and If the hospital build
ing is TO be three or four stories high,
this bay window may extend to the
full height Of the main structure. With
this arrangement each floor will have
the advantages of sun ward The
means of ventilation should be perfect
and the heating arrangements ade-
quate for the sun bath is just as prac-
ticable and useful On bright, wintry
days as on sunny days OF summer. II
the outlook from the windows of the
solariuIa Is pleasant. if the landscape
is diversified With hills, trees. green
lawns or fields. or a lake. or a bit of
the ocean, so much the better. Unfor-
tunately for some Institutions. the
south view from the hospitals is limit
ed by walls of brick and stone Moth
ing, however. can deteriorate the direct
rays Of the sun, so that wherever pos
sible, this exceedingly useful and very
cheap commodity should be utilized
