CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
Englishmen to Emulate Germans in Erecting Open-Air Sanitariums.

One of the most encouraging fea- lures of the campaign against con- sumption is the manner in which the question has been taken up by the leaders of the friendly society move ment, says the London Chronicle. A deputation of the National Friendly society conference recently visited Germany to examine the sanatoria which have been established there and to collect information. They paid a visit to the London Open Air sana- torium established in the neighbor- hood of Bracknell, Berkshire. Among the members of the deputation were MT. A. Chapman, parliamentary agent of the Ancient Order of Forest CTS; MT. F. R. Litchfeld, general or ganizer of the National Deposit Friendly society; Mir. G. W. Smythe, chairman of the Hospital Sat- urday fund; Councillor II. $. Syer, trustee of the South Lon don district of the Foresters, and MT. R. w. Davis, organizing secretary of the Hospital Saturday fund. The deputation were received and escort ed over the building by Mir. Malcolm Morris, vice president of the sana- torium, and treasurer of the National Association for the Prevention of Consumption, by Dr. Alfred Hillier, and by the medical superintendent, Dr. c. c. Chiddel.
 Each patient has small room of his own looking south, comfortably furnished and lighted by electric light, and provided with very large window, which is never closed. The whole cost of the sanatorium, which amounted to f36,000, was provided by Messrs. Werner and Belt. It Is mainly intended for the benefit of the members of the middle and poorer pro- fessional classes, and it is hoped that eventually the inclusive charge of three guineas week made to patients will prove sufficient to cover all ex- penses and to pay very low rate of interest-23 per cent. on the capital invested.
 The members of the deputation showed the greatest interest in all the arrangements, and at the luncheon which followed, when some brief speeches were made, expressed their intention not only to do their best 10 obtain the establishment of some sim liar institution in connection with the Friendly societies, but also to preach as much as possible among their fellow members the gospel of fresh air, and the precautions neces- sary to prevent the spread of tubercu- lous diseases.
 An attempt to solve the problem of the treatment of the poor afflicted with consumption has been made by Dr. Charles Reinhardt and Dr. Frank who has opened an industrial sanatorium farm colony at Ipsden, near Wallingford. An this institu- tion patients will be received at a charge which will be just sufficient to cover the cost of their treatment, on condition that they devote them selves to such occupations as poultry farming, pheasant rearing, bee keep ing, gardening, and similar pursuits, accordingly as their state of health
