ABSTRACT
Among civilized people, the skin is universally anemic [sic] and enfeebled by the universal practice of over-clothing. In view of the important functions of the skin, there should be a widespread campaign to introduce sun-bathing and the construction of sunny open-air gymnasiums. The tanned skin is able to defend itself against cold and to protect the body against disease much more efficiently than the pale, anemic [sic] skin which has not been 'kissed by the sun'. 1
