Abstract
THIS book deals in a practical manner with a subject of considerable interest and importance at the present time. In the earlier chapters the author discusses what is meant by sanatorium treatment, the reasons why the State should provide this, and what other countries are doing in this direction. “Sanatorium” is defined as “an institution in the country for the treatment of resident patients suffering from any form of tuberculosis,” and such institutions as farm colonies are excluded. Valuable suggestions are given on the financing, construction (with diagrams), and management of sanatoriums, and the advantages of sanatorium over domiciliary treatment are emphasised.
