The sanatoria, better than anything

durability of tuberculosis, particularly
when treated in the early stages,
writes DR.. s. A. knopf in the World 8

as rs per cent of cures, the great ma
jority of which are lasting, as care
full inquiry among the discharged pa

remarkable results are obtained in the
treatment of scrofulous and tubercu-
lous children in special sanatoria 10.
Gated along the seacoast. In Europe,
particularly In France. Holland and
Germany, there are along the sea
coasts numerous splendidly equipped
sanatoria for that purpose. In the
