exposed to the suns rays for many
hours a day and the effect was 30 un-

tended his stay 10 several weeks, when
MS ear became completely healed with
out the operation. Other cases, include
ing throat treatment by passing sun

explained that cells of cancer and other
diseased tissue being unable to pro-
tect themselves by absorbing coloring
matter from the blood and becoming
augmented, are killed by the sunlight;
and that mountain resorts are especi-
ally favorable because the intensity Of
the light Is greater, there IL less vapor,
