on the plants already purchased in connection with the

scheme as a whole. 
NOTES 
1, A. Haviland, quoted by Weber, Climatotherapy, p. 47, says: 
‘Regions exposed to high winds have increased mortality from phthisis, 
as people stay indoors more and in stuffy rooms. High winds hurt feeble 
people and persons suffering from bronchial affections.”

6. The scientific basis of this treatment is set forth by Dr. A. C. Inman, 
On the Effect of Exercise on the Opsonic Index of Patients suffering from 
Pulmonary Tuberculosis ; a study made possible by the brilliant work of Sir 
Almroth Wright, who showed that nature cures bacterial infections through 
auto-inoculation.

8. In the Nordrach-on-Dee Sanatorium booklet, the advantages of the site 
in a pine forest are insisted upon. The Deeside atmosphere is claimed to 
possess relative dryness, bracing qualities, and exceeding richness in ozone. 
The other advantages are: ‘‘its comparatively mild temperature during the 
winter months; the high percentage of sunshine which prevails ; and the 
therapeutic vapours exhaled by the pine forests.”

work, in the inauguration and carrying out of which he has taken a large 
part.
