SUNSHINE CLINICS.
LONDON, January 14. Airships as sunshine clinics for altitude treatment of heart and respiratory diseases are among the possibilities of the future in England, where sunlight is infrequent. Dr Rawlinson, director of the Bacteriological Department in the Institute of Public Health, in an article in the “ Lancet ” on the value of aviation for therapeutics, points out that flying stimulates the metabolism. “Airmen have noticed the tonic effect, notably on high altitude flights, which have cured colds,” he writes. “ Instead of prescribing a child a few minutes’ exposure to sunlight, we soon may order it half an hour’s flight at a certain altitude.”
