lutte rest is the only possible
means Of saving the patient.
Often people who have had an
outbreak Of the disease think that
it Is sufficient to take q few
hours rest In the course Of the
day. Sometimes people who have
hardly recovered from a pulmon-
ary bleeding take a walk for
half on hour daily. In doing so
they run the risk OF aggravating
their condition. In reality the
quantity Of rest Is dependent on
the gravity Of the lesion.
Too often, the acuteness Of the
trouble is judged only by the
temperature. The absence Of
fever is, Of course, very favor
able symptom. but 1t has to be
kept in mind, that temperature ts
not the only criterion by which
the gravity of the trouble should
be determined. OF immense Inn
portance also is the. time that has
ELAPSED since the last outbreak
of the disease. If the patient has
had a serious acute attack, &C.
companied with bleeding, he Is
in danger for a period Of at
least five I.-onths, even II his
temperature is normal and his
weight increases. Overstrain or
overhaustion at this period of
recovery may end in q relapse.

Just so years ago September 1,
1879 a distinguished English sur.
geon, DR.. John Hilton, signed the
preface to the second edition of
little book Of lectures he had deliv.
cred on the subject Of REST and
Pain" The central idea Of that
little book was that periodic rest
is the chief Of natures means to
keep the organs and tissues Of the
body healthy and to restore them
when diseased and that pain is the
imperative demand Of the system
for rest.
The application Of this common
sense principle has been extended
to every branch Of both the pre-
vention and cure Of disease.
In no instance, however, has it
brought more satisfactory results
than in the treatment Of tubercu.
losis of the lungs, which can never
be brought into state Of absolute
rest.
The three important features Of
a successful treatment of con-
sumption are life in the open air,
abundance Of food and rest. The
first two conditions, /. e. open air
and abundance of food, may be and
