Sun-bathing in the Home
But even in such districts, it is often necessary for the sun-bath to be taken through a window of the residence. If the top sash of the window is lowered completely and the curtain and shade removed, one may secure a thoroughly beneficial sun-bath while reclining on the floor, or on a cot or bed. In an apartment building having windows of other apartments opposite, the lower half of the window may be curtained. If this does not afford sufficient protection, a cheese-cloth or mosquito-netting curtain may be placed over the open part or the whole window; or half the body may be irradiated at a time; or very light-weight, porous material, either white or light-colored, may be laid over the body itself. Nothing should be worn if it is possible to avoid it, but there are times when compromise is necessary.
