the way of suitable food, competent
service and medical skill arc to be
found, but also a moral influence pre-
vailing, a keen sympathy in their af-
flictions and a cheering inspiration to
help them in their struggles and suf-
ferings.
OF the first importance In this home
feature are the m~inistrations Of those
possessing ardent %sympathies, utmost
t~actfulness and innate refinement. No
physician lacking these qualities a
hope to succeed in Sanitarium work.
And as his assistants he must have
for matrons and nurses, women OF
like characteristics. The moral and
supporting influences Of such persons
upon the invalid, separated from home
and friends and committed to their
care, is beyond all computation.
Given this as an deal S%anitarium,
this combination Of a CHEEKY home
for those able to enjoy it, this hotel
with its provisions for creature com
forts, and this hospital with its com
plete provisions for wise medical and
nursing service, and what will 1t offer
to the case of incipient tuberculosis?
The requirements. Of the i%ncipient tu-
bercular subject may be briefly stated
as, fresh air, pure food, home-like
surroundings and wise direction.
Gentlemen: Holding This picture in
our minds and then turning to the
contemplation Of the hundreds of such
cases as they come into our midst;
compelled to take up quarters such

addition must be provided hospital ac-
commodations and facilities. These

istics by the particular form Of work
to which the institution Is to be devot.
ed. First in importance is the loca.
ton of the buildings with reference
to Genealogical and sanitary fea-
turesAthen the construction Of the
building with a special reference to
the nature and requirement Of the
cases to be treated therein. Then all
furnishings and appointments should
be chosen with the same degree of care
and with the same end in view. The
corps Of physicians must be compos ID
of men especially qualified for the
work in hand and the several mem
bers OF the medical staff must possess
compensating qualities, so that, as a
whole, every requirement and the
peculiar need of each individual re-
ceived may be fully met. AS in all
hospital service a well-trained and
competent body of nurses plays a
most important part and the greatest
possible care must be exercised in the
selection of these. 1t IS apparent,
that, practically living together as all
inmates Of a %Sanitarium do, more in
innate knowledge as to the character
and ability OF all the working force is
possible than under other cir tum-
stances. Strictly speaking, the hospi-
tai department is adapted 10 the needs
particularly. Of those inmates who are
for the time being, bed patients. but

as a matter Of fact tn greater number
of cases received pass through vary.
ing stages Of diseased process and the
S%anitarium, properly administered.
affords the appropriate care for each
stage. II the patient be in a state Of
semi-invalidism he can have a degree
Of hotel or home life which is most
grateful and advantageous to him,
and at the same time be where In
case Of %aggravation Of his malady. he
cal have the required different or
hospital care.
And. Third: AS a home. To my
mind this Is one of the most advan.
tageous and beneficent features of a
Sanitarium. 1t is hard enough to be
i'll, yer IL at home and surrounded
by loved ones and receiving their ten
der, loving administrations. 1t is
being discovered, however, more and
more, that a diseased state IS a most
serious and disastrous one, and that
to overcome it REQUIRES special care
as we'll as special forms OF treatment,
and as a consequence hospitals and
Sanitariums are becoming, and de.
servedly so, more popular each year
and more generally resorted to.
That old time prejudice against and
fear of them is giving way simply
because OF the good work they are
accomplishing. How vital then. when
a sick person must leave home and
friends in quest of restorative mea.
sures, the necessity that they find a
refuge where not alone comforts IN
