merits, inhalations, sprays, etc. are
conducted by the medical director in
person. and opportunity is thus given
for consultation, as the special fea-
lures of each case call for special con-
sderation.
The institution regime is not tax
ing. but the patient Is shown how to
do great deal for himself and finds
his time sufficiently taken up ny the
treatments. so tina. it does not weigh
heavily. tie sees that he is accom-
plishing something for himself. and
that the rapidity OF his recovery rests
to degree with himself.
One of the most convincing proofs
of the success of the treatment Is the
CHEEKY mental atmosphere which per-
vades the institution. One is contin-
ually being encouraged by the prog
ress of Others around MIN. and, as
the mental attitude of the patient has
considerable influence upon his physi-
cal condition, this feature of the in-
sitution is worthy of note.
| The table is under the direct super.
vision of the medical director. who
selects a variety and character of
foods best calculated to promote the
nutrition of the patient The aim Is
to furnish everything wholesome the
market affords and the best posi-
BILE quality, and the result is table
that is unsurpassed. lEtigeStibles
are tabooed. and meats are broiled or
roasted. never fried; hot breads and
pastry seldom appear on the table,
but the variety and quality OF the
| food served leave nothing to be de-
sired.
1t will be noted that no attempt is
made under this system of treatment
to cure the lungs by oral medication
Il. e.. by way of the stomach. The
extensive use of creosote. guaiacol
and other germicidess has merely
proved that medication sufficiently
powerful.to destroy the bacilli will in
jure the stomach and other organs,
and thus by rendering adequate nu-
triton impossible merely hasten the
final result. BY the system OF treat
ment used in this institution the
stomach and other organs are left
free to perform their natural func-
tons.
To one who has discovered TO
his sorrow that bacilli live in every
climate; TO one who mas found that
creosote. guaiacol and other germi
cides destroy the stomach faster tnan
they help the lungs; to one who has
pinned his faith to doctor who is
confessedly unable to cure him--tD
such a one the system of treatment
herein described offers a prospect OF
health which is obtainable nowhere
else.
An investigation will convince the
most conservative man that here is.
indeed. a prospect of recovery. and
that IL he can recover anywhere, he
certainly can do so under the treat
ment of the Ballard Pulmonary Sana-
forum.
