CLIMATE FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Ideas Which May BE OF Value to tho All.
fnG-A Caution.

ins-A Caution.
Professor Knight, of tho Harvard Medical
scHool, read Il paper not long ago before the
Boston Society for Medical Observation on the
choice of u climate for consumptivo persons.
Some of the ideas advanced may DO of value.
Patients who have cavities in their lungs,
and those who have severe hectic symptoms.
especially if they are poor, should not leave
home; nor should those who have any acute
affection of the lungs do so during the acute
stages of the disease. If, in the early stages
81 consumption, complete cure can be hoped
Tor, Il climate is To be chosen in which the
patient can remain throughout the year. If,
ON the other hand, nothing more thar tenn
porary relief and some prolongation of life
can be expected, IL mild winter climate is rec
commended.
While consumption presents a variety of
PHASES and conditions, making it impossible
to lay down fixed and invariable rules. it
may he said that in general the first object
aimed at by a change of climate is to enable
The patient to live all active, out door life
tor the purpose Of assisting nutrition of the
lungs, and this is best attained in situations
at an altitude of i 600 TO 5000 feet above the
sea level.
Dry and pure air, a good proportion of
clear days, and a raretied atmosphere which
compeis greater activity Of the respiratory
organs, make a mountainous country the best
for this purpose. Those for whom high alti-
tllucS may be recommended are:
~ Patients who show no more alarming
symptoms than Il morning cough and expec-
toratlon. For them Colorado and New Mexico
are suited. C) Those who have some con
solicitations OF the lungs, Sut no cavity, nor
any serious constitutional disturbance. For
persons who exhibit such di~sturbance-a high
pulse and tempcraturc-a lower altitude
should be tried first: say the pure regions OF
southern Georgia for the cold months, and
then, ii there is Improvement, IL more ele-
waited rcSion. 81 Cases in which there Is
early and frequent hemorrhagc, without
much other evidence of disease. The noun
tains are peculiarly suited to persons of this
class; and, a. Persons who are recovering
from acute diseases of the lungs. But Of
these eases great care should he exercised,
lest the steps taken to ward off permanent
pulmonary disease have an evil effect upon
other organs weakened by sickness.
Patients i'll whom tubercular disease has in
Nadcd the larynX should on no account be
sent 10 high attitudes. They need mild and
moist climate, like that of Southern Cali
t"rnia. Moreover, those who have u tendency
to irri;ability of tho bronchial tubes, and
nervous persons, do not 10 we'll in high alti-
tu1eS. y. very high altitude should not, as Il
rule, be recommended for any patient over
