The human being tends to indulge
in extremes. perhaps on the hypoth-
csis that if little Of something
is valuable q great deal may be much
more valuable.
One Of the possible dangers of the
advice to indulge in sunlight may be
an over-cxposure to sunlight or to
the artificial ultraviolet rays result
ing in more harm than good. Y. ~
/ 1t has been known for years that
prolonged exposure to the violet and
ultraviolet rays Of the sun, to nat
ural or artificial rays, may cause
not only disturbances Of the whole
body. but also !. inflammations and
serious changes in the skin. It, is

SIS Sensitive Skin.
It is we'll known that some people
are unduly sensitive to sunlight; the
skin burns easier and freckles easier
than in the case Of other. persons.
Some people respond promptly to sun
light with blistering Of the skin.
Blends usually burn far more easily
than do bruncts.
The most serious reactions take
place in babies whose skin 10 thin
and who may be unusually sensitive.
A case is cited Of a boy, aged s years,
who had severe eruption Of the
skin every time he was exposed to
ultraviolet rays. This had occurred
every summer fHr four years.
There are other cases in which the
reaction involves changes in the blood
which may be even more serious than
those that appear on the skin.
Test 10 Recommended
Infants should be tested first with
small doses of sunlight or the arti-
fetal ultraviolet ray to determine
whether or not they are especially
sensitive before they are treated with
large doses. If they respond with
serious reactions. they can be treated
accordingly.
Whenever a new method is brought
into the practice of medicine, the
quacks seize upon it and exploit it
without consideration Of its dangers.
They were among the first to advcr-
tise themselves as especially COM
petent in the treatment Of disease
with light. Their ignorance of dan

The John links Party

The National League party in Ireland says John

When voting time came in the Dali, John links
not there. He had heard the debate. He knew
what his constituents wanted, party or no party.
So he had just slipped out of his seat and left
the hall. Then the fun began.
It was thought John Jinks kidnapped. Some
accused the red-faced saloon-keeper from Sligo of
