Rest for tuberculosis Patients.
THE REASON.

DIR. Joseph H. Pratt of Boston, who
was the founder of the first tubercu-
losis class in the United States in the
Emmanuel church in Boston, claims
that in the treatment of tuberculosis
absolute rest, often in bed. must be
extended over period of months, be-
fore the consumptive should take any
exercise. He says: Prolonged rest
In bed out Of doors yields better re-
suits than any other method OF treat
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have II better appetite and lake
more food without discomfort and
gain weight and strength faster than
patients with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications
are much less frequent. When used
in the incipient stage recovery is
more rapid and surer."
