Springs, on the subject Of Utility of
Altitude in the Treatment Of Pulmonary
Tuberculosis" which was followed by
an interesting discussion.
In expressing his views Dr. Solly held
that the question of altitude in the
treatment Of consumption and pulrno~
nary diseases is more important than
ever, although a pronounced sentiment
exists in favor Of home treatment. One
great effect of the mountains and at
mosphere, and in all high attitudes, was
shown in the increase of blood cells
the stimulation of the circulation being
similar to that produced by blood tom
les, the effect on the respiration also
: beig marked. The circulation induced
by high attitudes raised the blood and
created a greater evaporation from the
lungs and skin. The effect of purer air
and strong sunshine was dweIt upon,
and it was stated as an established
fact that the warm days and cool, re-
freShing nights had a most benefcias
effect on the patient. Dr. solly de-
scribed the effect produced on patients
in the Swiss mountains and to the ben
eficial atmosphere of Colorado, Arizona
and parts of New Mexico. AS compared
with the European resorts, he thought
the climatic conditions and mere eaua-
bic temperature Of certain portions CT
the United States was far more desira-
BILE for consumptives
