A patient with pulmonary tubercu-
losis should be instructed to keep him
self as cool as possible all the time day
and night. He should not be allowed
to wear heavy wooden underclothes or
other accessories when such are not
absolutely needed for comfort. The
custom of using chest protectors, of
one type or other, should be strongly
condemned. A patient, however, should
not discard his excessively warm
articles" of clothing too quickly, but
should adapt himself gradually to get
ting along without them.
A person can be accustomed to low
room temperatures and be quite COM
Portable in them. This point deserves
special emphasis, as many people who

TEMPERATURE IN TUBERCULOSIS

The ST. Louis Medical Review points
out that temperature plays as great a
part in the tuberculosis drama as air
conditions or rest and exercise or food
elements. This conviction became more
firmly grounded by the editors expe-
rience with a large number of cases
during the two summers just passed.
The summer of 1909 was a severely
hot summer, whereas that of 1908 was
considered to be fairly mild. The pa
tients do not do as well in warm
weather as in cool or cold weather,
and there was a very distinct differ
ence in the progress made by the pa
tients IN the two summers. In 1908
they did appreciably better than in
1909. And in the latter summer there
were two fatal results in cases that
would most likely have not done bad
ly if the weather had been moderate.
The hot weather of 1909 terminated
rather suddenly and there was noticed
much difference in the progress made
by the patients toward recovery.
The reason for all this is rather
plain. The higher the temperature of
the body the greater the oXidative
processes and the greater the demand
