Invalids, as a rule, have a great dea.l of leisure on their hands-more of it than they like-and to fill this time pleasantly ie a queetlon involving a good deal more than mere amusement. The importlllloe of mental dlatre.otion to invalids Is a fact too universally reoogniir..ed to call for comment here, my obj eot In this paper being merely to suggest a mode of diatraotion that, in my. own experience, has not only boen attended with the ha.ppiest results physically, but has proved a eouroe of Intense and never-falling plea.sure.

Aa the sun now resumes something of hl11 fervor and brilliance over our hemisphere, health seekers should make it a point to.get a daily aun bath. Yve all underata.nd the bad effect of the withdrawal of light from plants In winter, But It I~ too easily forgotten that throngh the short a.nd dai;k days of winter the human body suffer& m the same way as vegeta.tlon, and hence needs the therapeutic agency of sunshine at this .season to repair its waated forces, A write~ 1.n the last number of t he Meteorological Magazino forcibly stat~s the connection between eunllght and health, and quotes from Dr. Bell's la.te work on climatology the following weighty sentence : . " Free a.ccesa of light favors nutrition and regularity of development, and oontribntea to beautify the oountenanoe ; while deficiency of light la asuAlly ohara.<iterlzed by uglineos, ricketa and deformity, and is a frnitful source of scrofula and conaumptlon in any climate." Thie atatement, we may add, is corroborated by a faot notloed by Dr. Hammond, that " various experiments demonstrate tha.t tho a.otfon of light is of benefit In many condl· tiona, &ll remia, chloroala and phthlsis being -among the number." It is probable that one of the chief benefits derived by invalid a from a winter's sojourn at Alpine or tropical resorts is due to the brger amount of sunlight enjoyed, So Jlo!
