Abstract
MUCH attention has of late been bestowed on the open-air treatment of consumption and other tuberculous diseases, but residence in sanatoriums is expensive and only possible for the well-to-do, and the provision of shelters and homes suitable for the poor is deserving of much consideration. The booklet under review describes the construction of a cheap shelter, and the author claims that by the enlargement and multiplication of such shelters, colonies for the tuberculous poor could be founded at comparatively small cost.
