. Light energy, its physics, physiological action and therapeutic applications . Also according to Strebel as reported by Freund, thistreatment has been very successful with diseases of themucous membrane, arresting the discharge and causing thedisease to disappear, fluor albus blenorrhagia, with twentyminutes exposure every fourth day combined with salt waterdouches; chronic metritis from ten intra-uterine exposuresto the light energy; gonorrhoea in the male, ten exposures offifteen minutes duration; venereal warts three exposures. Strebel admits that the treatment may possibly produceviolent irritation of the mucous membrane, inflammatoryswelling and pain on micturition. The author with an equipment consisting of varioussources of light energy from a Gorl lamp to an 80-amperearc, has used the former rarely because of the greater valueof the others. Still it has been used in connection with apowerful influence machine (Holtz) sufficiently to determineits individual and comparative value. A patient with pelviccancer, who was under care for X ray treatment reported. The Ultra. ULTRA-VIOLET LIGHT ENERGY. 631 at the office one morning complaining bitterly of great dis-tress about the vulva and to the left side. Upon examinationthe left labia majora was found badly swollen, red, hot, sen-sitive and extremely painful. A ten-minute exposure to theultra-violet light energy from the condenser lamp shownin the cut resulted in immediate relief from pain and sensi-tiveness, with greatly diminished swelling and lessened the day wore on all discomfort disappeared and the fol-lowing morning the labia was practically normal, there beingneither heat, swelling, sensitiveness nor pain. For this same class of cases, the author has used thecondenser lamp, placing it directly over the opening of theproximal end of the cylindrical glass speculum and in thisway bringing the cervix uteri under the influence of theultra-violet light energy. The same sense of comfort hasfollowed its
