CHAPTER IX. ACCESSORIES FOR THE FRESH AIR TREAT- 

 MENT OF TUBERCULOSIS 



It would be impossible to carry out the fresh air treatment of 

 tuberculosis without some special facilities or accessories. These 

 vary somewhat in accordance with the plan of treatment, whether 

 singly or collectively ; or in cities, forests, or plains. Among these 

 accessories we include : ( i ) Tents ; pavilion tents. '(2) Tent houses ; 

 shacks, "lean-tos." (3) Disused trolley cars. (4) Balconies or 

 leigeterrasse for day use. (5) Day camps. (6) Sleeping porches 

 or balconies. (7) Wooden pavilions. (8) Glass pavilions. (9) 

 Hospital roof wards. (10) Detached Cottages. (11) Sleeping 

 canopies. 



Tents. — Tents have the advantage of low cost, portability, and the 

 fact that they are adapted for almost any locality, whether in the 

 city, the forest, or the plains. In the city a tent for the use of a 

 tuberculous patient usually attracts too much notice and unfavorable 

 comment unless placed in a rural district. It is possible, however, 

 to erect tents in the heart of a great city, hundreds of feet above the 

 ground where an abundance of pure air and sunlight are obtained. 

 The modern hotel or ofBce building can furnish a far better site, in 

 these particulars, than many rural districts. The author is not aware 

 of any extensive use of tall buildings for the treatment of pulmonary 

 tuberculosis, but it would seem to be an entirely feasible proposition.
