Niels Ftnsen.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-Sir: Following the
announcement of the death OF DR.. Niels n. Finscn,
in to days issue of THE SUN, appears the statement
that owing to many failures and the probability
that correct apparatus has not always been used.
"the curative properties of tho rays are still an
open question"
Permit me 10 explain that among authorities
there Is no difference Of opinion with regard TO the
justice OF the claims that finsen himself maze.
Recently while abroad had the opportunity Of
studying the method and results In the "Lysn-
stitut at Copenhagen. and the experience In itself
would have been suf1cient to explain the report
of failure from the outside, had not my own CT.
perience with the treatment and acquaintance with
prevailing practice already formed my opinion.
Finsen himself claimed for the method only that
II would cure lupus rgoars II properly applied. and
that the cosmetic results would surpdss those Of
any other possible procedure. These claims have
been amply substantiated In the cases where the
apparatus and technique have followed the re-
quiroments of the physical basis OF the system.
The failures attributable to the ignorant
and the unscrupulOuS. whose desire to modify the
apparatus and TO invade all neds OF therapeutics re
suited In som startling speculation and consequent
disappointment. The claims and inc apparatus
were often ludicrous, and there are even now on
the market many forms of so called "Fnsen lamps
whose construction Is utterly at variance with
physical principles
Permit me TO say in conclusion that Finsen q
achievement ranks among the foremost In the
progress OF modern medicine.

Republican View of Oden and Higgins.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: Permit
me to remark that, il Higgins Is elected Gov
ernor of New York, 1t will virtually be the
election of Odell. because the agreement be-
tween these two men, and their thorough
understanding OF what will be required Of
each in the event Of success in November. Is
remarkably audacious even in these days OF
strange political partnerships.
Why Republicans should hesitate to vote
for Herrick Is not apparent. He Is clean
cut politician with as few vices as consistent
with political acumen; and. while Higgins may
be of spotless character. the collar OF Odell
makes him an impossibility to all Republicans
who would preserve the name OF the party
from the mud and pave the way to later sue
cesses.
This year New York. feel confident, be-
longs to the Democrats. Let them have IT.,
when we can do so to such good advantage.
Then, when we come to the choosing of the
next Executive for our State. the blight Of
Odelllsm may have fallen from the party and
we may perchance have the opportunity to
cast ballots for q man who will become q
Governor in truth and not political valet.
