THE VALUE OF LIGHT
Z Recognized by Medical Authorities
of Two Continents.
Philadelphia Hospital the First to
EstnbLish a Photothernpy Depart
ment-Dr. Finsen's New Light
Treatment.

The Philadelphia Polytechnic is the
first hospital in Pennsylvania and one
of the first in America to establish.
a department of phototherapy, t
which the Finsen light treatment is
applied A lamp has recently been
imported from England which is an
adaptation of the original Finsen
lamp and considered in many re-
spects an advance on its model.
1t consists of an arc light with a
hollow metal shield into which are
fitted two rock crystal lenses used
for concentrating the light rays
Cold water, constantly flowing
through the shield and between the
lenses, carries off the heat rays gen
Grated by the arc. The shield also
protects the patient from the light,
whose brilliancy may be judged from
the fact that those operating the
lamp r. obliged to wear dark
glasses. The treatment is perfectly
safe and practically painless, while
b healthy normal appearance of
the skin when cured is most remarka-

The lamp at the Polytechnic, says the
Philadelphia Press, is already in use
and the opportunity is offered to all
suffering from lupus o avail them
selves of what promises to be a per-
manent cure Of a hitherto ''incura-
BILE" disease. The possibilities and
the limitations of the light treat
ment r still unknown, but its fu-
ture promises much.
In the phototherapeutic depart
nent of, the Polytechnic the X-rays are
also used for their beneficial infu-
nee on certain diseases of the skin

lures. The N-rays are quite differ

emit in their effect from the Finsen
light rays. They are less useful in
the treatment of lupus, but more eff
tcacious in the treatment of the can
Ger OF, the skin, of which many eases
can be cured by the X-rays. With
these two new therapeutic agencies
many hitherto rebellious skin dis
eases can be successfully treated.
The value of light as a powerful
therapeutic agent stands as one of
the most recent contributions to med
icine. Yet already it's claims in GER
tain specific diseases are established
and an avenue of investigation has
been thrown open which promises
in the near future results of the most
startling and far-reaching impor-
tance In a general way the bene-
fetal effects of light have been rec
ognized the world oyer-the thrifty
housewife who hangs her clothes on
the line to sun is avai1ing herself
of what in more scientific terms has
been called "the best, cheapest and
most universally ~bactericidal agent
that we have" The sun baths of the
old Romans or the e~xhilaration all
feel on a brilliant day are simply
other examples Of the same truth.
But until now any definite, scientific
knowledge of the action of light has
been extremely limited.
The standard bearer par excellence
of this new branch of medicine is DR..
Niels Finsen, of Dnmark.
As a result of various experiments
on bacteria and certain animals and
plants, Finsen was led to the conclu-
sion that the actinic or chemical rays
contained in sunshine were OF Inera-
peutic value rather than the red or
heat rays. If these rays could kill
certain baeteria-netablyth bacillus
tuberculosis - why could they not
also cure certain superficial skin dis
S of meteorological origin? he.
argued.
The action Of ordinary sunlight
deficient in chemical rays-was too
slow, however, and Finsen, by mea
OF lenses, first concentrated the di-
rect rays of the sun and later those
of an electric arc light as being rich
er in actinic rays and thereforesmore
powerful.
Lupus-which is 9 tuberculosis of
the skin-was first chosen and the
new treatment was crowned with
such success that a tight institute'
was Immediately established in Co
penhagen, and low hospitals and pri-
vate practitioners on the continent
and in England have installed lamps
and the number in Isl is constant
1y increasing.

ers wished to destroy the union, and
back of the employers were the great
corporations OF the United States and
all the railroads. That is what is
meant by these illegal and outrageous
injunctions issued by tools of the
railroad companies. issued by judges
who are as much the servants of the
railroads as their section men.
when the union is destroyed it
Will the end of labor's hopes.
Labor unions are not perfect ,insti-
t%utions. They are simply a means
to an end. In some respects labor
unions are narrow, exclusive and mo-
nopolistic. They are not ideal. In
an ideal state there will be no la
bor union, there will be no boycotts,
no strikes, no wage-earners and no
wage-payers. There will be a general
partnership. Capital cannot combine
and operate together and ask labor
to operate separately. To ask the
labor anton to dissolve is to ask one
army to lay down its aSns in the ACE
of another army"
Mr.. barrow devoted the greater
2-
part of his address to the subject of
violence during the coal strike, and
throughout his remarks he excori-
ated President Baer and the opera
tors.
The speaker said only 90 cases had
been proved where dynamite had
been used. and that in no case did
the strikers or their sympathizers
intend to kill anyone. .sThey simply
wanted to scare nonunion men by
exploding dynamite in front of the
doors of these men," explained the
miners counsel.
Mr. barrow said the miners or their
sympathizers killed only three men
while the coal and iron police and
soldiers killed three or four. None
of the homicides committed by
miners or their sympathizers were
deliberate murders" said Mr.. Oar
row. s'The operators tried to create
the impression that the minework-
ers had committed 21 cold-blooded
murders and they so told President
Roosevelt, but he could not discover
mere thar three cases 2,
Mr.. barrow said that the Lord by
some oversight had planted all the
anthracite coal in the country in a

STRIKE SPELLS WAR.
Clarence S. barrow Makes Some
Lively Assertions.
Chief Attorney for Conl Miners Calls
Judges Tools and OF
Railroads-Labor Unions
Not Perfect.

Clarence S. barrow in an address
delivered at Springfield, H.. before
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, on The Anthracite Coal Strike"
compared the striking miners to the
colonial revolutionists, denounced
federal Judges who enjoined labor
unions as quite as much the servants
of the railroad companies as their
section hands,"
Not a thing was done by the
miners in Pennsylvania that was not
done by our revolutionary forefa-
theirs" declared Mr.. Darrow. 'In
revolutionary times dwellings We're
burned, property was contiscated and
100000 persons We're driven out of
their country. The refugees settled
Nova Scotia and those who drove
were denounced as hoodlums, muir
derers, cutthroats, assassins and out
laws. Yet they We're the respecta-
bic people of those days and I'VE are
proud to be known as descendants of
these same revolutionists.
I'm a great strike as in war men
stand by their friends, and it will
always be so as long as men take
sides on great public questions.
After this strike threatened great
danger President Roosevelt sent for
Baer and the other railroad presi-
dents in the coal region and they
came and lied to him. They told him
they paid the miners so per cent.
more than they did, and when the
president asked them to arbitrate,
they said there was nothing to ar
bitrate and asked for more protec-
ton and more troops.
The report of the commission is a
great victory for union labor. 1t
shows that when the strike was en-
tered into it was the fault of the
employers. This whole strike was
brought about because the employ
