Tuberculous Children.

The New York Medical Record,
calling attention to paper in the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation of December 19, 1914, on the
need of segregating young children
born of tuberculous mothers, shows
how promptly this suggestion has
been acted on. Such an institution.
called the Farmingdale IN. Y.) Tuber-
culosis Preventorium for Children, has
been established where more than 18O
children are accommodated. Recently
provision has been made for the recep-
tion of infants under one year of age.
The children are kept here for an av-
erage period OF four smonths, so that
the institution provides for nearly 500
children a year. The scheme Of treat
