An interesting light upon this question has been shed by n set of fegulatlcns to govern advertising of ultraviolet generators recently adop ted by the American Medical associa tion. It appears that the ultraviolet rays have a preventive and curative effect on rickets, on Infantile tetany, ortd on osteomalacia (a disease condition in which the bones become gradually softened).
