Sanatoriums in U. S.
Regarded Too Costly


the United States is the high-priced
their way but too expensive to be
within the reach of the people who
need them most. The need is for homes
which will meet the requirements of
the average population, although in
we'll populated communities it would
doubtless be possible to have scales of
prices to meet individual requirements.
In Germany the geneSungsheim is
almost as essential in the minds of the
health officers as is the hospital itself
The thrifty German mind is opposed
to wasting hospital services upon pa
TENTS who no longer need them. and
the genesungsheim, or convalescent
home gives the necessary grade be-
tween the advanced service of the hos
pital and the everyday life of the
patient in his own home or boarding

If man has had slight injury IN

by the effects of some occupational
disease, few weeks stay in the

good health and the sick pension he
is entitled to will pay for it.

Nursing Or ConYalescent
Homes.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Every American physician is at times
confronted with the need of an institu-
ton to which persons in feeble health
may go and receive a certain amount OF
care and diet provision without the rigid
rules Of the general hospital. Such an
institution must be moderate in price
to be within the reach of a moderate in
come and must not have any of the
characteristics of a charitable 1nstitu-
ton 1t would supplement the regular
hospital service and in a practical man
ner provide the care which might re-
store a large number of semi-lnVallds
to good health.

comment on the lack of such home

in this direction have been made in
