MALIGNANT DISEASE
NO DANGER ON ENGLISH BEACHES LONDON, October 25. Challenging a leading Australian dennatalegist’s suggestion that the 1 entile seeds of keratosis (a form ot skin disease with thickened epidermis), which are the first indications of malf.Tiiant disease, besides the malign ant disease itself, are daily extensively sown on beaches, Dr 11. D. Haltiin-Davis, in a lecture at the Institute of Hygiene, said; ‘Britons need not disturb'themselves. I he English sunlight is not so powerful, nor is the bathing season so prolonged, as in Australia. British mermaids may sun themselves on every- rock along the south coast without fear of sowing seeds of pathological changes in their delightfully pigmenting epidermis.” He added: “ Rickets, which is impossible to contract in bright, sunny snnuindings. although once known as ‘ the English disease.’ is now almost nnknwn.”
