URGES TREATMENT
OF TUBERCULOSIS
. IN HOME VICINITY

PHILADELPHIA, Oct lathe popu'
lar illusion that sufferers from tuber'
culosis can be cured only at places far
from home where climatic conditions
are said to be ideal Is dispelled by
Health Director Kruseh In the weekly
bulletin issued by the department OF
health and charities.
Director Krusen points out thai
thousands OF persons who have sought
the western high attitudes In the hope
of curing tuberculosis are so affected
by the tedium OF the long journey
and so weakened by the effects OF sud
denly exposing themselves to radically
different conditions that the looked
for cure does not materialiEe. The ad
vantage of the fresh air in the local
ities to which the patient has already
become acclimated, says the director
oVerbalances those In places of low at
mospheric pressure, which causes ex
ira work upon the heart muscles OF
the already weakened patient
There are many places in the East
where tubercular patients may receive
the fresh air cure. In fact, the out
door life in this part Of the country
where the temperature varies, has q
singularly stimulating effect upon the
body, promotes more active resisting
powers and does not have the disad
vantage of an unaccustomed climate
far from home
During the FIRST thirty-five years the
death rate for tuberculosis has rapidly
decreased, and the percentage Of per
mAnent cures has been unusually
high These results have been
brought about largely through the
emphasis which has been laid upon
the necessity of fresh air for all tn
bercular patients. In order still fur.
Their to decrease the ravages Of the
disease, the bureau of hoalth urges
that all persons suffering from tuber
culosis avail themselves as much al
possible OF the open-sir treatment In
the vicinity Of their Homes.
