and especially the chemical rays, has q
most injurious effect on the course Of
smallpox, as the suppuration of the YES
icles is due to the effect Of light, says
the New York Medical Journal. Conse-
Quently, it is possible to avoid the sup
Duration and its consequences by pro-
tecting the patients from the action Of
light. On the other hand, light seems to
have no action on the smallpox infection
itself, and death caused by the latter can
not be prevented by excluding the chem
ical rays; but the avoidance of suppura-
ton is Of the greatest importance, as
the suppuration stage is most danger
Gus, and the greatest number of deaths
are due to suppuration.
Further, the numerous complications
and sequelae due to suppuration may be
avoided, as well as the disfiguring pit
ting. Since smallpox is a disease in
which the public health authorities
oblige the patient to go into particular
hospital, he has a right to ask that he
shall not there be unnecessarily exposed
to dangers that may be fatal, or are at
least liable to disfgure him for life. It
must be considered absolutely unwar-
rantable on the part of the public health
authorities to treat serious cases Of
smallpox in which suppuration might be
expected, in hospitals where patients
are exposed to daylight As to the pri-
vate physician, it must be considered
a gross shortcoming If, as soon as he
diagnosticates smallpox. he does not
make preparations to prevent the pa
tient from being exposed to daylight.
