The results of this treatment are said
to be remarkably favorable. Of course,
the kind , and amount of exercise,, and
the degree of exposure, are carefully
regulated by the attendant physician.
Tbe effect is somethflg like that of a
cold bath ot water, as far as the first
shock is concerned, but the subsequent
effects are different. The surface of the

posure, w hile the t.k(n is bathed in radia-
ment. The crusted surface ot the snow
reverberates these rays, and sends them
from every angle to strike the body of
the . patient, which is constantly in mo
tion, thus prerenttng all parts of the
trunk and limbs in rapid succession to
the light beams. :
The exercise not only prevents chilling.
but, by keeping the blood in active cir
culation, distributes the beneficial effects
throughout the system. For this reason
It la claimed that the Alpine sun-and-snow
baths are far superior to ordinary
sun baths taken while lying on a hot sea
beach, or reposing on a couch In some
comfortable sun parlor. The active exer
cise attending the enow bath is an es
sential part of the hygienic scheme.
The entire method rests upon experi
mental results combined with theory.- It
is conjectured thst there are other rsys
in the sunbeams beside those which pro
duce light and heat that are ' effective
in stimulating the bodily energies and
combatting disease germs in the system.
The employment of the ultra-violet rays
In the Flnssen treatment for certain skin
maladies is a sufficient proof of the cor
rectness of this idea. la order to have a
concentrated sheaf of ultra-violet radia
tion it is necessary, in hospital practice,
to resort to artificial methods of produc
