Excerpt from Columbus Medical Journal, 1904, Vol. 28: A Magazine of Medicine and Surgery Having read and heard so much about the Finsen Light treatment in the cure Of disease, I decided in April of this year, to make a personal investigation to see and learn for myself if it was true that such diseases as lupus and rodent ulcer could be cured by light. I visited several institutions where the Finsen Lamp was in operation. In Manchester, England, in the Salford skin hospital, they had a Finsen Light department under the supervision of Prof. Brooke, who informed me they were unable to treat half the sufferers who applied for treatment, and they had solicited, by public subscription, for the erection Of a new hospital for skin diseases, where they would be able to enlarge the light department so at least 200 people could be treated daily, as there were people on their waiting list whom they would be unable to treat, with their present facilities, for an indefinite time. Prof. Brooke was most enthusiastic over the wonderful results they were Obtaining there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
