Strange Talk For 4 Practical Doctor
.1LLlAMS Md

Concluding a description of the
wonderful work being done at the
Adam Hospital, Perrysburg, N. Y,
In the treatment Of all forms Of
tuberculosis by sun baths, DR..
John II. Pryor, the noted Buffalo
phthisiologist, says:
"Wc must send more afflicted
children to the country where they
belong, close to natures generous
heart and healing breath, and then
summon all the combined forces
known by the medical profession to
check the devastation Of insidious
disease and repair its ravages. The
difference 8 often means laughter
instead Of tears, happiness instead
of the traccry Of sorrow fretted into
a pinchcd white face, and, some day,
fun and play, the child's rightful
heritage, VI which 1t has been SO
largely robbed by false or vicious
environment, Misdirected philan-
thrcpy, a multitude Of incubated
fads and some humbugs Of civili-
zatio.."
Aside from the touching picture
OF the victim or environment panied
by this distinguished physician, it
is good to feel the u~ndercurrent Of
sound public policy running through
the story. 1t is still better to know
that the famous heliotherapy Of Rol-
lier, as so successfully employed at
Leysin, Switzerland, high above sea
level, can be used just as well in
America. In another paragraph DR..
Pryor mentions the fact that chill
dren at Perrysburg played in the
snow in February days when the
temperature was twelve degrees
Fahrenheit, below freezing, and the
children wore-what do you think?
Furs? No-just a coat of tan,
shoes, socks and a breechcloth.
OF even greater interest is DR..
Pryor's remark that adults and chill
dren taking treatment in another
hospital where clothing is still worn
had epidemics of "colds" during the
winter, whereas the little savages at
