THE HUMAN FLOWER.

If hospitals on the lower levels have not the same advantages which similar establishments in the

mountains possess, it is certain that the sun might be used more than it is at present. Whenever, a hospital is built, Dr. Rollier advises that there should be spacious galleries on which the patients' beds might be placed, and where they may enjoy, as far as possible, the beneficient influence of sun and air. "Another point emphasised is the necessity for sunlight in the cose of children. One of the speakers at the recent International Conference on Tuberculosis in Paris, Professor Grancher, pleaded for more sun in the life of the child. ''Let us give sun to our children," he said, "and we shall preserve those who are threatened with tuberculosis, vc shall cure a great many of those who are already affected, and thus we shall secure a brighter future for humanity." All which goes to show -how truly Michelet spoke when he said that "the human flower is, of all flowers, that which moat needs the sun."
