It is fortunate that because

In any case, 1t seems beyond
doubt that the lack of sunshine is
always a predisposing agent for
the spread OF ricketts, in all coun-
tries. But 1t may be that 1t has
yet to be proved whether the abb

the presence of other predisoosing
causes seem to be necessary.
The American theory, however,
Is of vital Importance from the
point of view of general hygiene.
The Americans have shown the
important part the sun plays in
general health by increasing the
vitality of different organs.
Furthermore, American scientists
have definitely proved that the
quantity of calcium and phos-
phorus in the blood is favorably
influenced by the action of SIN.
This is of exceptional imoort-

The exact mechanism Of the
action of light on the human body
Is as yet unknown to us. Its

their children from getting Ill, as
well as those who have weak and
