OPEN AIR AND CONSUMPTION.
n striking Case OF Benefit From the New
Mode OF Treatment


a Striking Case OF Benefit From the New
Mode or Treatment.
Perhaps the most startling innova-
ton I'm dealing with tuberculosis in the
last few years has been the exposure
Of the patient to cold fresh air. in
stead OF housing him in n warm place
and shielding him from draughts one
OF the most famous establishments for
this kind of Catment is at Nordrach
in Germany. But the system has been
taken up elsewhere in Europe and also
in America DR.. Hector Mackenzie. Of
London, an enthusiastic believer I'm the
fresh air method fayors having the
windows ana doors wide open. or put
ting the patients out on balconies He
would do so day and night, winter and
summer. regardless OF the weather
One OF the most remarkable cases
which came under Dr. Mackeuzie's
observation In London was at ST
Ihomas's Hospital. The patient was
Kept on a balcony FOR months I'm the
autumn and winter. When the patient
first came there he was greatly enact
ated. had little fever and n percepti-
Die cavity in the right lung. In 4
month the fever disappeared. the pa
tient almost entirely ceased splitting
and his weight began TO gain. Event
ually he added twenty six hounds TO
his weight-in how short Il period Il
does not appear-and i'm six months he
left the hospital. cured This is prob
ably an extreme case. and does not
represent the average. The best re-
suits are secured. of course. with
cases less advanced. And yet the sys-
tenn has now been on trial i'm so many
places and so long as to give statisti.
cal evidence of its great value.
Whether the patient sits in chair
or lies on a cot is placed In n room
with open windows or is out on a bal
cony, he must breathe the air lust ms
he gets 1t, and without any artificial
heating. To prevent suffering from
cold he should dress warmly. Unlim-
tied personal and bed clothing are en-
couraged. -Furs and great wooden
caps are often worn, and in a few
Instances hot water bottles have been
applied 10 the feet But otherwise the
patient must face the weather lust as
II Is at least down to temperature
that causes snow.
An important feature OF the treat
ment at Nordrach and also in London
Is nearly feeding, which is compulsory
when the patients have but little appe-
tite, The kind and quantity Of food is
prescribed by the doctors in charge.
and the attendants see TO it that the
proper amount is actually consumed.
The reason for this is not altogether
clear. 1t Is not what one eats but
what he digests and assimilates that
nourishes him. But the results of the
treatment appear to be satisfactory.
ana that is the important thing.

ture rs many women as possible will
be employed by them is those posts
suitable for women. They will hold
positions at the ticket Offices. tele-
graph offices. be telephone clerks at
the counting offices and ut the goods
offices. In Prussia 4 great number of
women are already employed in vari-
Gus government posts. and each year
sees fresh openings made for them.
In Germany there are numbers of
women dentists. rs well rs doctors.
ana many people prefer to have their
teeth attended to by u woman, and
children also seem less nervous when
Il woman attends TO them. In spite
OF this. however the women dentists
are not so popular rs women physi-
clans. Many men dentists have WON

this pleasant arrangement, for

Dust and DIsense Germs.

Cleanliness ana health go hand in
hand, whether cleanliness and godli-
ness do or not. The way to keen
a kitchen clean is to keep 1t free from
disease germs-that is, to keep our
rood which is cooked in the kitchen
free from unwholcsome elements
which cause it To spoil and to be
unwholesome when eaten.
The clothes we wear should be
brushed free from dust. because the
air is full of impure germs. Those
who work in dirty, dusty factories or
other places like them should have
their clothes beaten every day after
they come home. Grease spots sbould
De carefully cleaned of WORKING
clothes. because such grease spots
Mold dust, and MAJ become culture
places for impurities received from
the air. II proper precautions are
exercised and the house IL kept as
clean as 1t is possible 10 keep il the
health Of the inmates will be good.
Ihere Is n great difference between
thing being scientifically clean and
clean in the ordinary understanding
or the term. A house filed with the
germs OF tuberculosis may be clean 10
all appearances. and one which has
Just been disinfected scientifically may
nave indelible stains Of previous wear
and tear on the walls and carpets
yet one is wholesome dwelling and
the other Is not clean.-New Yorl,
