Mode of Treatment Commended.
A prominent physician of Georgetown in
terested in the plan to establish a hospital
for the open air treatment of tuberculosis as
an adjunct to the Georgetown University
Hospital gave an interesting view of the
proposition in talking recently to a Star
reporter. He stated that the whole scheme
depends upon the willingness. or agreement
by the District of Columbia to pay a per
diem rate for all charity patients. The
proposed building, which will be constructed
near the Georgetown Hospital, would ac-
commodate approximately 100 patients. 1t
is the conservative view of a number of
physicians who have been interviewed on
this subject that treatment for at least 800
cases of tuberculosis in the District of
Columbia would be of the possibilities
of the proposed institution. The gentle
men who inaugurated the movement and
favor this method of treating consumption
are Drs. George NJ. kober. Percy Hickling
S. II. Ashford, Morgan and Vincent.
