The Inspector-General of Hospitals (Dr Morris) giving evidence before the Federal Health Commission, said the idea that climate affected tuberculosis had been exploded. As an instance he pointed out that in Dudley, England, which he described as one of the smokiest, filthiest and apparently one of the most unhygienic towns in England, the inciuence of tuberculosis there Avas less than in a popular health resort such as Bournemouth. The most successful British sanatoria Avere in the Highlands, the bleakest spots in the British Isles, and the best results in the cure of tuberculosis, in Europe were obtained in Finland and on the fiords of NorAvay. It was a question more of housing and good food than climate.
