a loan of £600 in order to save the Committee from loss 

 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 Tuherculosis ; a study made possible by the brilliant work of Sir 

 Almroth Wright, who showed that nature cures bacterial infections through 

 auto-inoculation.

 Ventilation and Effect of Open Air and Wind, by Leonard Hill (1914). 



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."

 French turpentine oil is almost entirely laevopinene, and American turpentine 

 oil nearly all dextropinene.

 for many beautiful photogi-aphs and lantern slides illustrating the splendid 

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

 part.
