livelymorgue:

1928: “This youngster has been under the raying of the ultra-violet mercury arc for nearly half an hour,” reads the back of this photo, “but seems none the less happy.” The image was used in the Mid-Week Pictorial on Aug. 18 to illustrate a treatment in Paris for children “suffering from rickets or other maladies common to city children unable to have the healing rays of the sun.” Photo: The New York Times
