STATE HOUSE,
More Interesting Facts From
The Sanitary Inspector.
0ld Home Week For 1901 Now
Under Discussion.
Attic es Of Association From Saco Valley
Electric Road Co.

Inc good that a sanatorium for con-
sumptlves can do for society at largo
IS becoming more and more apparent
as time goes on, by the large numbers
that have been cured of this dread
scourge. In speaking of the durability
OF consumption the last issue of the
I sanitary Inspector. issued by the State
board of health, says:
The best proof of the DURABILITY of
consumption is the cure of it. In the
sanatoria of the present day % Der
cent or more of the patients are cured
or apparently cured when they leave
Tor home The careful following IN of
the subsequent histories of these
patients has shown that the most of
them remain well. There are in addi-
ton about As per cent more of the
patents In whom the disease is ar
rested or much improved. These re-
SUITS nave been attained in spite of the
TACT tnat considerable proportion of
the patients have not been incipient
cases. For instance, in the Muskoka
Cottage Sanatorium in Canada. after
an average of 126 days treatment.
about 30 per cent. We're cured. disease
arrested or markedly improved. OF the
condition of the patients on admission.
20 only We're incipient cases. SO were
advanced and 30 We're far advanced.
The bulletin speaks of the fear that
some people have that the patients
would endanger each other. and that
there would be a zone of infection
around these institutions Eminent
physicians assert that they feel safer
from danger of inhaling tuberculous
bacillus in sanatoriums than in the
streets, churches, theatres hotels and
Pullman cars.
The method of treatment carried out
in sanatoriums for consumptives is
principally hygienic. Plenty of pure air,
sleeping at night with windows wide
open and keeping the patients out of
doors as much as possible. In winter
the tonic influence of cold air is shown
in the greater rapidity Of the recov
cries than in summer. The paramount
dietary rule at the sanatoriums is an
abundance of nutritious food. meat,
eggs and milk particularly. The
patients are taught the Importance OF
hearty eating. One of the most i'm
portant parts of the treatment is the
careful prescription of rest and exer-
else. Absolute rest is required for some
patients with elevated temperature
and with improvement the amount of
exercise must be carefully meted out to
each.
In short, the fact that the patients
are constantly under medical super
vision-a word of encouragement to
persist here. a monition against an in
furious act there-goeS a long way in
accounting for the good results in these
institutions. No other class of patients
suffering from a chronic malady needs
so constant care.

An Old Home Week for 1901 is now
being discussed and some suggestions
earned from last summers celebra-
ton are being advanced. 1t is thought
that the observance would be more
general throughout the State if some
of the towns did not go into 1t on so
large a scale The reason Lewiston
did not have n celebration. last sum-
mer was because so many people
were DESTROYS of going to Portland or
Bath where grand celebrations were
held And in this way the big celebra-
tions drew the people from their native
towns where no observance of the
week took place. In the eastern part
of the State the observance through
the small towns was more general. IL
is planned to have next summer Oh
Home Week if there is one. assume
more of the home gathering and picnic
character. New Hampshire has deter
mined to make Old Home Week per-
manent thing.
