A public insti- tution, supported by the State, has been established, with this ])rogramnie : ‘ To make and support scien- tific research concerning the action of light upon living organisms, and especially to apply the results to the service of practical medicine.’ The institute, founded in April, 189G, in great part by the generous donations of Mr. G. A. Hagemann and Mr. Yilh. Jorgensen, contains laboratories and a clinic for the carrying out of phototherapy, and particularly for the treatment of lupus and other diseases of the skin by concentrated chemical liglit.
