When to Give Sun-baths to Children
If one would have “children of quality,” children with su¬perb little bodies, with the greatest possible resistance to dis¬ease, with sturdy bones and strong beautiful teeth that resist decay, with alert minds and abundance of energy, they should have plenty of sun during the growing period. For at least one or two months every year, if it is impossible to continue them through the whole season in which exposure to sunlight is effective, a child should have sun-baths daily, or at least every other day, while the mother should be subjected to the same beneficial influence before conception and through the periods of pregnancy and lactation.
