PROVISIONS FOR OUTDOOR SLEEPING

By MAY MacCONACHIE, R. N.

Head Nurse, St. Elizabeth Dispensary of the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium.

In the treatment of tuberculosis, the best results have been obtained in sanatoria. In most cities, however, sanatorium treatment is not possible for many patients; consequently home treatment must be provided. This can be done most successfully when we imitate as far as possible the sanatorium method. This paper describes some of the arrangements for outdoor sleeping which may be provided for a patient taking the "cure" at home.
