Abstract
THE idea of employing ultra-violet radiation at home is a new one, and there is as yet no wide selection of lamps made for this purpose. Those at present on the market must be regarded as largely experimental attempts to meet the new demand. The majority of them are of the type used for general irradiation in hospital practice, but reduced in size, and it is not generally realised that an exposed and live electrode which is safe enough in the laboratory or clinic in the hands of trained workers, may be quite definitely dangerous in the home.
