Open Air Treatment of Consumption.
Consumption is a disease often engendered and certainly developed by impure air. This 1b a conclusion to which Dr. Bezly Thome came in a paper read before the Royal British Nurses' association upon the "Open Air Treatment of Consumption" at Falkentteln. -Winter and summer the patients at this German health resort are encouraged to spend the greater part of the day in the open air. Even when unable to take exercise the sufferers are placed out of doors, care beiag taken that they should be sufficiently wrapped up. At night the windows of the bedrooms are partially opened. Baths, especially douche baths, are freely administered, and with favorable results. Measures of a most scientific kind are taken to prevent the dissemination of the tubercular bacillus, and Dr. Thome mentioned that the proportion of ascertained cures, both relative and entire, is 24 per cent.
