Patients for whom n Removal 10 Tigh
Attitudes May BE Recommended.
Prof knigh', OF the Harvard Mcdi-
cal School, ro,d IA paper, not long ago,
before the Boston Society for Medical
Observation, on the choice Of q climate
for Consumptiyo persons. Somo Of
the ideas advanced may bo OF value in
families in which this papcr is read.
Patients who have caytics in their
lungs, and those who h-vc severe hoe
tic symptoms, especially if they aro
poor, should not leave home; nor
should those who have any acute alice
tion Of the lungs do SO, during the
acute stage Of the disease. II, in the
carly stages Of consumption, complete
cure can bc hoped for, climate is to
be chosen in which the patient can re-
main throughout the year II, on tho
othcr hand. nothing moro than tenn
porary relief, and somc prolongation
OF life can bc expected, a mild winter
climate is recommended. While con-
sumption presents variety of phases
and conditions, making it impossible
to lay down fixed aud iuyariablc rules,
il may be said that in general the first
object aimed at 10y change OF climate
is to enable the paticut to live an ac-
tive out door life. for the purpose OF
assisting nutrition OF the lungs, and
this is bcst attained In situations at an
altitude or four thousand To eight
thousand feet above the SEA level.
Dry and pu,c air, a good proportion
of clear days, and urcGcd atmos-
phcrc which compo's greater activity
Of the respiratory organs, mako u
mountainous country the best for this
purpose. Those for whom high alti-
tudcs may bo recommended are;
OD Patients who show no more
alarming symptoms than n incoming
cough and cNpcctorption. For them
Colorado and New Mexico are suited;
(2l Those who have somc consoli-
datious OF the lungs, hut no cavity,
nor any moro serious constitutional
disturbances For persons who cx-
hihit such disturbance high pulse
and temperature u lower altitude
should bo tried first; say the pure
regions of Southern Georgia for the

and frequent homorrhayc without
much othcr evidence of disease. Tho
mountains arc peculiarly suited to pcr-
sons of his class; and,
CD Persons who arc recovering
from acute diseases Of the lungs. But
in these cascs great care should bc cN-
crciscd, lest the stops taken To ward
of permanent pulmonary disease have
an evil effect upon other organs weak
encd 10y sickness.
Patients i'm whom tuhcrcular disease
has invaded the larynX should ON no
account be sent to high attitudes. They
need mild and moist climate. like that
OF Southern California. Moreover.
those who have n tendency to irrita.
bility OF the bronchial tuhcs. and
nervous persons. do not do we'll in

cream and green color completing the
deception.
His kingdom Is constantly invaded
by swarming robbers; therefore no
neither waits nor oXerts himself, for
his game comes to his hands, and,
with the relish of an cpicurc, he foasts
upon the best.
The only cXcrtiou he ever makes is
to drag the remains of his victims to the
top of his castle; and. dropping them
TO the ground, he gazes complaccntly
down upon his catacomb Of winged
mummics, then glidcs back to his re-
treat, to bc rocked to sleep 10y the

Too indolcut to be aggressive. he
avoids danger by n slow. backward
movement until hidden from view.
