The Sick Room.

SELECT the sunniest room in the house. There is life and healing in the solar ray, even if its light, which is only a part of the ray, is excluded. We all feel instantly, on entering a room on which the sunlight never directly falls, a chill and an absence of something essential to cheer and brightness. Observation shows that in hospitals more patients die in shady than in the sunny wards; and in cities, disease is more fatal on the shady side of the street than on its opposite.
