Dr. Hasselbach, of Copenhagen, has become convinced that the
light treatment is effective in heart disease and affections of
the nervous system. Dr. Hasselbach, after experimenting on his
own perfectly normal organs, next experimented on two doctors.
Both of these were complete invalids, one suffering from angina
pectoris and the other from a nervous affection of the heart.
This treatment, which lasted in one case for a month and in
the others for six weeks, resulted in enabling both doctors to
resume their practise. (Text.)
