FRESH-AIR TREATMENT
Most Potent Means of Restoring Consumptive
Patients to Health
REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT SPREADS
IN EMPIRE OF THE CZAR
Dr. F. R. Walters in his study on
the various sanatoria l'or consumptives
■•alls the open-air life the keynote of
sanatorium treatment. He further
says that the patient, instead of being
kept in a carefully warmed room ven-
tilated from other parts of the house,
according to the populur notions of
old. lives in the open air from morn-
ing till night, at all seasons ?uid in all
weathers. Lack of fresh air is the
greatest predisposing cause of con-
sumption; fresh air is the most po-
tent means of restoring him to health.
Now (Ills prescription is very easy
to carry out in dry climates such as
thosp of Egypt, the Alpine health re-
sorts, South Africa or Colorado; but
it requires special arrangements and
special precautions in a dftmp and
rainy climate. The credit ((f showing
how this may bo accomplished belongs
mainly to Brehmenr. Dettweiler and
their followers. The open-air method
may perfectly well be carried out In
auy climate which is healthy for those
who are not. consumptive. As Leon
Petit observes; "Here ihe climate
may help the cure, . . . there it
may hinder it ; but it only exerts a
secondary influence on the treatment."
(1) Moreover, just as the pleasantest
climates are not always those which
are best for healthy people, (2) so it
may bo that, the most pleasant clim-
ates lor an out-of-door life—where the
air is warm and dry and little rain
falls—are not best for those consump-
tives who have later on to return to
a less favored place. It is bracing
climates rather than warm and equ-
able ones which have the greatest in-
fluence in restoring the consumptive
to health, in all but exceptional cases.
For the open-air treatment, a four
fold shelter should be provided against
wind, excessive cold, extreme sun heat
and rain. Wind raises dust, increases
cough in consumptives, and intensifies
the chilling effects of cold. The for-
eign sanatoria with few exceptions
have both natural and artificial shelter
against wind. Cold within certain lim-
its is useful to the consumptive; but
it should be a windless cold, and suit-
ed to the individual power of reac-
tion. As damp intensities the cli-
matic effect of both heat and cold, the
chilly consumptive will be able to
withstand a lower temperature in a
dry than in a humid climate. Protec-
tion against rain and snow will seem
to most people an obvious necessity,
although at Nordach rain is often dis-
regarded. It is not enough to provide
resting places in the sanatorium
which are protected against rain. At
certain stages exercise is imperative,
and sheltered paths and open covered
corridors are needed for exercise in
rainy weather. At Falkenstein there
is such a corridor 200 feet long.
In places where the sun's rays are
very powerful, as at Cauigoli in the
Pyrenees, direct exposure to the sun
is found to increase the tendency to
fever. Even at Hohenhonnef on the
Rhine, which is not far south, a large
verandah has been provided which in
hot weather can be artificially cooled
by a stream of water. Protection
against wind and weather is afforded
in most santoria by large verandas,
which may bo fitted with movable
glass screens, as the Adirondack Cot-
tage Sanatorium. In our own climate
it would be useful to have a veranda
with a hollow floor, which could be
warmed, as cold and damp can be
more easily borne If the feet, are
kept warm. Other simpler ways are
the provision of hot bottles and warm
clothing. Recumbency also helps a
chilly patient, the blood circulating
with less cardiac effort in this posi-
tion. According to Dr. Weicker and
monia. A solution of copperas (aul-
phate of iron) will have the same re-
sult. lastly, the floor should be sup-
plied with absorbent litter, which
should be removed when it is soiled.
Ventilation should be provided in
such a way as to avoid cold drafts.
Small openings, which may be easily
closed with a slide, may be made in
the outer wall near the floor, and
similar ones near the ceiling, or in
the roof, through which the foul air
can escape. Pure air Is of the utmost
importance to the well-being of
horses."
Insomnia.
This very common condition is
most, often due to six o'clock dinners
or eating in the evening. To secure
sound sleep, no food should be taken
after 4 p. m., or at least nothing more
than a little ripe stewed fruit, without
cream, and with as little sugar as pos-
sible, better with none. Oranges or
some other juicy fruit are preferable
for an evening's lunch. Avoid bread
and butter or milk, and similar arti-
cles which digest slowly. Fruil juices
and completely predigested food sub-
stances may be added in moderation.
Tea and coffee also produce sleep-
lessness. Sedentary habits conduce
to sleeplessness by promoting the ac-
cumulation of uric acid, which is a
nerve excitant, and gives rise to rest-
lessness and disturbing dreams.
Said the wise man, "The sleep o!
the laboring man is sweet." ISccl. 5:12.
Gentle fatigue produced by exercise
out of doors is wonderfully effective
:ts a means of producing sleep. A
prolonged bath, fifteen to forty min-
utes, or even longer if necessary, at
a temperature of 92 degrees to 95 de-
grees F„ taken just before retiring, is
an excellent remedy l'or sleepless-
ness. The moist abdominal bandage,
consisting of a towel wrung quite dry
out of cold water and wound around
the body, covered snugly with mack-
intosh and then with flannel in suf-
ficient quantity to keep it warm, is an
exceedingly helpful measure in pro-
ducing sleep in cases in which sleep-
lessness is due to excess of blood in
the brain. Care must be taken to
keep the feet warm. If necessary, a
hot bag may be applied to the feet or
a moist pack to each leg. If the head
is hot, a cool compress may be ap<
plied.

Still Saws Wood at 91.
The Rev. Jacob Chapman of Exeter,
N. H., is the only nonagenarian, and
one of the fpw clergymen in New
Hampshire who saw ail the wood used
in their stoves for cooking and heat-
ing purposes. The amount of wood
used by a family during the long New
Hampshire winters is something enor-
mous. yet. Mr. Chapman goes out into
the woodshed every day and saws al-
most enough to keep the parlor and
bedroom stoves, well supplied, as well
as to furnish what is needed for the
kitchen,
Mr. Chapman celebrated the 91st
anniversary of his birth this week.
Though never robust. Mr. Chapman's
physical powers are remarkably well
preserved. A day seldom passes in
which he fails to cut a little wood
an exercise which he considers very
beneficial. In good weather he take*
long walks. His mind is alert and
his memory very retentive.
He was born in Tamwort.h, and in
1827 entered Phillips Exeter academy,
of which he is the oldest, living gradu-
ate. He was graduated from Dart-
mouth college in 1835. and from And-
over Theological seminary in 1839.
For many years he was a teacher.
Since his retirement Mr. Chapman

on "Climate in the Treatment of Dis-

"The condition and health of a
horse," says the National Builder, "de-
pend very much upon the kind of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and
other skin diseases, all of which are
produced by the pungent, foul air in
the stables. Farmers and others who
have horses will take pains to keep
their carriages and harnesses protect-
ed from the strong ammonical air of
the stables, lest the leather may be
rotted or the varnish dulled and spot-
ted; and at the same time they will
wonder why their horses cough, or
have weak eyes or moon-blindness, or
suffer from other diseases which, If
they would only think for a few min-
utes they would readily perceive are
due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in
the year while confined in close, badly
ventilated stables. The remedy is
very easy. The stable should be kept
clean; this will prevent the greater
part of the mischief, and It should be
well ventilated. The floor should be
properly drained, so that the liquid
will not remain on it, washed off at
least twice a week with plenty of wa-
ter. and then liberally sprinkled with
finely ground gypsum (plaster), which
will combine with and destroy the ani-

ten a number of family histories, and

Why the Body Needs Water.
Someone has asked: "What would be
the cause of death of a person who
drank no water?" This subject has
been, studied considerably; animals
have been experimented upon, and
it is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the nat-
ural poisons; they must have water in
order to eliminate them, otherwise
the secretions become too dense.
Without water, the amount of urea
which should be secreted becomes di-
minished, and so with the other se-
cretions. We need water, not only to
dissolve the food and carry it along,
but we need it to dissolve and carry
out of the system the poisonous and
worn-out material of the body, after it
has served its purpose. Water forms
a circulating medium for carrying sub-
stances back and forth in the sys-
tem, conveying nourishment to the
various parts of the body, bringing
back the used-up material and carry-
ing it out by way of excretory ducts.
The amount of water daily required
is from two to three pints. In very
hot weather a larger amount is need-
ed, as much water is lost by perspira-
tion. If one's diet consists largely of
the Juices of fruits, the quantity of
water may be considerably diminished.

Arriving at a Verdict.
Kushequa, Pa., July 10.— (Special)—
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid-
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and |
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from su6h casos as
that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
"I have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine I have ever taken.
I was also bothered with Lame Back
and I can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since I took Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills."
Considering that. Mrs. Davison only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder-
ful if it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at a verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism."
