".. . . . Ruby light, they say, is a cure for smallpox, old as the hills
at that. Hypo, I have heard, will cure consumption in its early stages and
will remove blotches from the skin. Bichloride of mercury is as good for
disinfecting things or killing cats as it is for bleaching negatives,
whilst the photographer who is addicted to drink can, they say, cure
himself by injecting one of the costly constituents of his toning bath
into his blood.. . ."
