The special hospital should not be placed too far from the

 All case- n.-edin.ir bed treatment should he received there, and 

 after a little time the physician will be in a position to say 

 whether it would be better for the patient to remain near 

 home or go to one of the country sanatoria, somewhat farther 

 away. These latter may be located at a greater distance from 

 home, at a higher altitude if it is possible, and the build'. 

 should have a southern exposure. To the mountain sana- 

 torium should be attached a department for children suffer- 

 ing from pulmonary tulxrculosis, with a school. A farm 

 should be annexed to all mountain sanatoria, where convalescent 

 patients may gradually be permitted to work so as to strengthen 

 them and prepare them to resume their former occupation. 



If the city is situated near the seacoast, it would he very 

 advantageous to have at least one seaside sanatorium for 

 scrofulous and tuberculous children. In an inland place such 

 an institution should be built where the air is as pun and 

 invigorating as possible. 



While sanatoria for adults are the ideal in>titutions, as Jon- 

 as we have so limited a number, day camps, that is to 

 places where patients can go for rest cure during the day, are 

 certainly of value. And the same can be said of night camp- 

 where patients still able to work, but whose home environm- 

 are unhealthful, can receive the benefit of sanitary sleeping 

 quarters and a good morning and evening meal.
