Which, had a smile but own Would Ide.'S life’s latest h : Tis not an idle tiling. For one to look or sneak: The face we wear, the words A heart may heal or break Light in the Sickroom. Still :i custom prevails, ilc a i>itc oil our sanitary teachings. that the occu pant of the sickroom in tli'• private house should be kept at all hour- in a darkened room. Not one time in ten do we enter a sickroom in the daytime to find it blessed with the light of the sun. Almost invariably, before wo can get a look at the face of the pa tient, we arc obliged to repiicst that the blinds he drawn up. in order that the rays of a much greater healer than tba most able physician can ever hope to be admitted. Too often the compliance with this request reveals a condition of the room which, in a state of darkness, is almo.-t inevitably one of disorder everywhere: foods, medi cines, furniture, bedding misplaced; dust and stray leavings in all direc tions. In brief, there is nothing so bad a- a'dark sickroom ; it i as if the attend ants were anticipating the death of the patient; and, if the reason for it be asked, the answer is as consistent as the act. The reason usually offer ed is that the patient cannot bear the light; as though the light could not be cut off from the patient hv a cur tain or screen, and as though to dark en one part of the room it was necessary to daken the whole ..of it. The real reason is an old surperstilious practice, which once prevailed so intensely that the pick, suffering from the most terrible dis eases, smallpox, for instance, were shut up in darkness, their beds sur rounded with led curtains, during the whole of their illness. The red curtains are now pretty nearly given up, but the darkness is still accredited with some mysterious curative virtue. A more injurious practice really could not be maintained than that of darkbess in the sickroom. It is not 'only the dirt and disorder that are re- sultsof darkness, a great remedy is lost. 'Sunlight is the remedy lost, and the loss is momentous. Sunlight diffused through a room warms ami clarifies the air. It has a direct influence on the minute organic poisons, a distinc tive influence which is most precious, and it has a cheerful e/lect upon the mind. The sick should never be gloomy, and in the presence of the light the shadows of gloom fly away. Happily the hospital ward, notwith standing its many defects,{and it has many, is so far favored that it blessed with the light of the sun, whenever the sun shines. In private practice the same remedy ought to be extended to the patients ot the household, and the first words of the t physician or surgeon on entering the dark sickroom should he the dying words of Goethe, “More light, more light!”—B.
