The artificial sunlight might kill the germs and heal the tissues if it could shine on them. A problem has been how to build a light producer small enough and cool enough to get into the cavities. Last year Drs. John Roberts Caulk & Frank Henry Ewerhardt of Washington University, St. Louis, successfully entered a tuberculous bladder, alleviated it with irradiation. They used a cold quartz generator of ultraviolet light...

He sweats, germs within him begin to die, injured tissues and nerves begin to heal. Profuse sweating weakens the patient. He feels nauseous, vomits, has cramps, twitches. Attendants stop all this by giving the patient plenty of salty water. The sweating causes another inconvenience. The healing radio waves collect in the sweat droplets, scald the patient.

The younger the individual, the faster and longer the growth. A similar test is how long a wound takes to heal. Young people heal more quickly than old. Dr. Pierre Le Comte du Noüy of the Paris Pasteur Institute, one-time Rockefeller Institute colleague of Dr. Carrel, has worked out age tables for wound healing. The reason that the young heal and grow more quickly than the old is that...
