Mr.. Editor:
We learn with regret that smallpox is
prevalent in Albany and vicinity. Some
time ago you reprinted an article from
the Attleboro Sun that wrote in relation
| to the red light treatment, and will
send you in addition an extract from The
| Surgical Clinic which reads as follows:
''The Finsen red light has been put In
service in the following way: ALI the win
dows in the smallpox ward have been
painted red and the walls painted pink
| (red curtains would do just as we'll and
should be put round the lamps too) and
| Dr Rlebei says that there was a change for
| the be, ter in the state of the patients from
| the day that the system was put in."
| Put red curtains over the windows,
tackled close, line the walls of tine room
with pink or red. 1t won't cost much; try
! it. 1t is claimed that with this treatment
hardly any scars are left.
