Open Am War on TQT mJ2D'- That fresh air 1b the best kind of medicine for almost every kind of disease which in any way affects the respiratory organs is coming more ami more to he realized. Years ago persons suffering from bronchitis, pneumonia and kindred ailments were guarded with the most zealous care Jest the least whiff of fresh, cool air Bhould strike them or even enter the room where the patient was confined. And to the common mind even to-day pneumonia 1s associated with warm rooms protected from every draught, with vffoits to keep the temperature equable. But such methods no longer receive the indorsement of the professional men whose business it is to keep pace with the latest developments of medical and surgical science. It is no longer the close room where the pneumonia patient is kept sheltered but in the apartment where the greatest amount of fresh air can be secured.

Perhaps the Presbyterian hospital of New York has taken the most advanced steps in respect to this open air treatment for pneumonia, and a visit to their roof ward would come as a shock and a revelation to many who still hold to the old method of treatment. There on that high, exposed place, with only canvas awnings to shelter from snow or rafn are to be seen a score or more of patients on Iron bedsteads, their pallid faces upturned to the winter sky, their breath frosted by the keen wind, and the falling light of the bleak winter day giving an aspect of utter dreariness to the wind swept space. said the doctor in attendance, with a comprehensive sweep of arm over the still, white faces, our pneumonia patients. We have now about 45 In all. Here is where we bring them to combat the disease.

See this one fever, delirious when brought in, now resting comparatively as yon may see. This other, a child four years old here, put your arms under the now. keep still and go to sleep. Afraid of the dark? It hurt you. Go to sleep now.

You'll wake up feeling all Yet here were pneumonia patients, many of tender years, exposed to every winter blast that blow; no roof bead, only an awning that could be slid over rods in case of rain or fleet or snow. It, seemed barbaric. The doctor said that it was only revolutionary Here is Pr. William P. Northrup of the visiting staff of the Presbyterian hospital, and it was due to his strong faith in this radical idea, and to his insistence in the virtues of the open air treatment for all suffering from pneumonia and acute Infectious diseases, such as typhlod, scarlet fever, diphtheria, that this open air ward was established on the root of the hospital.

I have employed the treatment In private practice and have been more than satisfied with the result It is an experiment only in the that this is the first time It is Icing tried out in a hospital and on a large scab 1 It was only at the beginning of ibis winter that the ward was made for the reception of pneumonia patients. That is the only type of di-iase that we are treating in it now. The result has been satisfactory. It fas been conclusively shown that no 1 arm has followed the sending tho patients directly info the open air.

K. Vanderbilt, who bore lie expenses of the undertaking, and who has shown much interest in the experiment, being a frequent visitor to the institution. What led to the adoption of tho open-air ward was the successful outcome of an experiment which directly preceded the permanent installation of tho ward. "A portion of the Dr Northnip explained, extemporized Into a roof garden for the benefit of tho sick children who were sent to the hospital for treatment. A framework of Iron piping, covered with canvas was made to lean-to, around the sides of which canvas curtains were ad justed.

The arrangement was crude, hut did good work In summer and early fall. What was pronounced a very cozy place for a family picnic party in September or October was by tho same persons denominated desolate In November and December. However, it vvc.s airy, well sunned, and endurable.

AM rases.

On many days every case In tho ward was sent to the roof. Exceptionally, where the case was considered unfit for removal, such as one having a weak heart, nr one just recovering from an operation, or when an extension apparatus was attached to the bed, a child or two remained in the ward. This was regrettable, because the ward could not then be adequately aired through wide-open windows. By all cases 1 mean pneumonia in all stages, appendicitis, meningitis, burns, fractures, etc. onlookers have wished to know details about pneumonia cases taken out of doors on the roof.

All pneumonia cases in the height of fever, while the stimulating effect of tli" pneumotoxin was full on, were regularly on tho list to go to the roof for six hours on pleasant days. That did not mean avoiding winds or cold with sunlight, but avoiding rain or snow. "It has been noted by (be nurse? that the children on rainy days, after being confined to the ward all day become resiles and peevish toward evening. When returned from a good airing on the roof they arc' hungry and sleepy. At night their sleep is quiet, profound, unbroken, "This only illustrator tho greater emphasis now being laid by the medical profession cm fresh air reatment."

To start this evening class fitly, Mrs Ames Byde sent (o London for a teach or from the Home Arts, who gave some lessons to these pupils in tho Italian bent work.
