The oldest mines in the world of which there is any certain record are the copper and turquoise mines of the Sinai Peninsula. These were worked by the Egyptians as early as 3700 B.C., but have never been sunk to what would now be considered even moder- ate'.deptlie. The nilver lead mines of Mount Laurion, in Greece, and very old. Xen- ophon, writing in 855 B.C., said "they were wrought in very ancient times." The Phoenicians probably began to work the tin mines of Spain and Corn -1 wall as early as 1500 B.C. 1 The deepest mhaes of Europe are coal mines. Several shale are now being Mink in France and Belgium which will go to a depth of 4000 ft. Most of the mines of South America might more accurately be called high rather than deep.

The curative action of this oil in the treatment of rickets has opened. 31) a new field for investigation. One thing is already eeltain: there is a deanite similarity of curative powers between sunlight and cod-liver ell, especially in the treatment of rickets. Two doctors in the Yale Medical School have been experimenting late- ly, and they believe they have already demonstrated that cod-liver oil taken internally, gives off ultra -violet rays which cure rickets. Among the substances known to cure rickets are cod liver oil, egg yolk, bile, sperm oil, and others. All these were oxidated, and specially prepared photographic plates screened by quartz filters and exposed to the sub- stances so treated, gave unmistalcable indications of the presence of ultra- violet light, Similar substances, but net possessing the power of During rickets, such as linseed, peanut and cottonseed oils were also oxidized, but showed no evidences of ultra -violet rays upon identical photographic plates. This is along the lines that the experiments were cor:ducted in proving that cod-liver oil does prevent and euro rickets and that it is the ultra -violet rays contained in the oil that do the trick. Upon this new discovery of the ultra -violet activity of certain food substances may be based further re- search and accomplishments that will be of benefit to all physicians and dietiticians interested in the proven - tion. of disease and the preservation of the health of the child and adult alike. with tragacanth, ll itWithB r l' up ragacan , pure olive o , or a rltain s Comp iments.

"Bottled sunshine" le a novel way of describing cod-liver oil, but that :ra the light of experimental studies iu the curative values of certain rem- edies, Is what cod-liver oil really is. The curative action of this oil in the treatment of rickets has opened. 31) a new field for investigation. One thing is already eeltain: there is a deanite similarity of curative powers between sunlight and cod-liver ell, especially in the treatment of rickets. Two doctors in the Yale Medical School have been experimenting late- ly, and they believe they have already demonstrated that cod-liver oil taken internally, gives off ultra -violet rays which cure rickets. Among the substances known to cure rickets are cod liver oil, egg yolk, bile, sperm oil, and others. All these were oxidated, and specially prepared photographic plates screened by quartz filters and exposed to the sub- stances so treated, gave unmistalcable indications of the presence of ultra- violet light, Similar substances, but net possessing the power of During rickets, such as linseed, peanut and cottonseed oils were also oxidized, but showed no evidences of ultra -violet rays upon identical photographic plates. This is along the lines that the experiments were cor:ducted in proving that cod-liver oil does prevent and euro rickets and that it is the ultra -violet rays contained in the oil that do the trick. Upon this new discovery of the ultra -violet activity of certain food substances may be based further re- search and accomplishments that will be of benefit to all physicians and dietiticians interested in the proven - tion. of disease and the preservation of the health of the child and adult alike. with tragacanth, ll itWithB r l' up ragacan , pure olive o , or a rltain s Comp iments.
