plies have been furnished for these
patients. They include flannel coats,
trousers or petticoats, sweaters, wool

to the children's pleasure and instruc-

Coney Island, New York. II is under

the disease, such as scrofula and tu-
berculosis of the bones, joints and
lymph lobes.
It has been shown in France, Eng.
land and other countries that this pc
s>liar form of tuberculosis can be
cured by sea air. In France, where
there are the most successful tent
hospitals, girls and boys suffering
from tuberculosis are kept as near
the water as possible, some living on
ships anchored out at sea, while in
other cases ambulances are employed
to carry the children to the ocean
edge every day
The tent hospital, though the idea
Of scientific men, is partially the out
growth of the intuition of nurses. A
large number of tuberculous children
have been coming to the Sea Breeze
colony every year, and the effect of
the salt air upon them so impressed
the attendants that they recommend
ed an ocean hospital, to be kept open
the year around Some $4,000 was
appropriated in February and the
work started. Other help has been
given. and the sanitarium is now COM
pleted. Tie institution is not an ex.
act copy of any European beach hos

of all sanitariums of its type.
The camps are as picturesque as
they are useful. Built on a gigantic
octagonal plan, the ocean home seems
a veritable nest of tents. Each sep
arate one rises from a point of the
