Der of experiments on the effect of light
on the blood He has found that dark
ness reduces the total amount OF blood
by to 3.3 per cent. while decreasing at
the same time the amount of blood
contained in the heart. Red light has
an effect like that OF darkness, while
blue LIGHT is apt 10 result In an excess
OF blood and an increase in the amount
contained by the heart. Light baths are
likely to increase the amount Of blood
In the course OF four hours. Darkness

in the dark or in red light have a
greater weight but only half the
