Abstract :
Proceeding upon the theory that the dry heat of the sun ever since the creation has been nature´s best curative agent and that the light and heat from ordinary electric lamps is the nearest artificial approach to it, Dr. Milton Fairchild of Chevy Chase, just outside of Washington, D. C, has built a long box in which are seven or eight house lamps. It is suspended over his bed by sash cord and window weights and can be drawn down over him leaving only his head protruding after he has turned in for the-night. By a rheostat he can adjust the lamps to produce just the right degree of heat. He says it is a great success and that anybody can make one. Already 30 doctors of the Washington district agree with him.
