TREATMENT OF CONSERVATIVES

The Philadelphia Medical Journal OF
recent date contains an article on
the open-air treatment OF phthisis,
which viii interest both physicians
and laymen. The disease popularity
known as consumption, has even been
one Of the most deadly foes OF human
ity. There have even been doubts as
to whether a cure is possible, though
science has devoted much attention to
the subject.
Physicians have been wont to
recommend a dry climate for those af-
fiicted. but are usually confronted by
the fact that the patient is OF limited
means or is loath to go into strange
surroundings perhaps to die alone.
There is no doubt however that in
numerous instances persons have been
greatly benefited and even cured by
the change
Recently physicians have been in
spired with a belief in the possibility
Of giving 10 the patient much OF the
benefit OF change OF climate with
out removal from home, and hospitals
are now conducted on this theory.
1ne article refers TO a report OF Dr.
Hector Mackenzie. noted London
specialist, and gives the particulars
Of remarkable cure 1t says
Or. Mackenzie argues that an open
air treatment should be what it's name
implies-cOnsequently he advises that
tuberculosis patients, be kept in the
open air during sunshine and storm
during heat and cold during day and
night His most striking cases were
kept on an open balcony at St
Thomas Hospital for months And
all this II is TO be remembered was
done during the changes and inclem-
encies Of a London Autumn and Win
ter. A patient for instance with a
tuberculosis cavity in the right upper
lobe, with fever and rapid emaciation
Ca patient In other words, who was IN
a rapid decline), was put out of doors
I'm his bed. and kept there constantly
night and day for six months. In a
months time his appetite returned
his sputum diminished, and his weight
began to increase. He gradually
gained twenty-eight pounds and ac.
quired a complexion OF red and tan
At the end Of six months he left tn,
hospital restored to health"
The author regards this case as al
most too favorable TO be taken as I
criterion. but it shows the possibilities
in effecting a cure of the disease
Heretofore the person who contracted
a hacking cough which he could no
throw of. has been regarded as a vic
tim of the fell disease; his friendl
have shaken their heads while extend
ing their sympathy Then perhaps &
is recalled that some member Of Tn
family has died OF a pulmonary com
plant, and there are all the essential
for a rapid decline.
We have learned that the dread dis
ease is not hereditary, and a genera
knowledge that there is a possibilit
Of a cure without removing the pa
tient from his home or running int
an expense which is prohibitory, wi
bring hope to many a discourage

sulting. Electric cars and express
trains use bridges and trestles con.
stantly, and rarely slacken speed
while passing over them.
1t Is said there is an old law max.
ing this provision. and that the Levy
Court Is simply carrying It into effect
but in many other matters they have
shown no such desire TO protect the
peoples interests. There are other
statutes which have never been re-
pealed, but which are regarded as OBJ
solete; and while it's provisions were
doubtless necessary at another period,
they are burdensome now. Tear down
the signs, and let the people use the
bridges In a reasonable manner.

discovery of the existence Of a concern

followed by startling revelations as to

Al dressed up II her brcnd-new

And nobody looked as fresh ami fair

Out of a fleecy cloud she stepped,
Where all the rest of her family kept
AS close together rs bees can swarm,
IN readiness for big snow-storm.
BButB little Miss Snowflake couldn't
wait
And she wanted to come in greater
state;
For she thought that her beauty
would ne'er be known
II she came in crowd, so she cam,
alone
All alone from the great blue sky,
Where cloudy vessels went scudding
by,
With sails all set. on their way to
meet
The large ships of the snowy fleet.
She was very tired, but couldn't stop
On tall church spire or chimney top:
All the way from her bright abode
Down to the dust of country road.
There she rested, all out Of breath;
And there she speedily met her death;
And nobody could exactly tell
The spot where little Miss Snowflake
fell.
