Abstract
(1) SOME twenty years ago the sanatorium treatment of consumptive patients was but in its infancy, and, with the exception of Dr. Walther's disciples who had studied at Nordrach, there were few who understood the real inwardness of this method of treatment. The result was, necessarily perhaps, a somewhat hide-bound method, and although a certain proportion of patients did well, others, even those in the earlier stages of the disease, seemed to be unaffected, favourably, at any rate, by prolonged treatment. Indiscriminate over-feeding, irrational exercise, inattention to details, and imperfect understanding of the general principles upon which the sanatorium treatment is based were accountable for many of the failures.
