Small doses over a long period kill some types of cancer cells and do not hurt healthy cells. Ultraviolet rays increased the effect of cancer-causing, irritating substances...
...benefit derived from work in the Photographic department is primarily a practical knowledge of the taking, developing, and enlarging of pictures. But the attraction which grips the neophyte who cannot distinguish between a lens and shutter when he reports, and his type constitutes the majority of candidates, is more deep-seated than a mere liking for the art of photography itself.
