IT has often been said that the climate of the British Isles belongs to the most health-giving in the world for the vigorous, but is less adapted for the invalid. If, however, a tubercular subject is obliged to stay at home, it is often possible for him, by judicious management, to obtain great benefit by availing himself of all the advantages, and defending himself from the injurious influences. of our home climate. Although we must admit that the climate of our island is rather moist, that the air is often dull and sunless, that rain falls on comparatively many days, and is distributed over many hours, that. the wind is often high and keen, and that the shelter is limited, still it is no worse than many places where good results have been obtained. At Falkenstein and Hohenhonnef they have as good records a~s at Davos or St. Moritz. Although these latter places have great climatic advantages, the others make up for this by their attention to hygiene, diet, and especially the open-air treatment. Hermann Weber and Michad G. Foster, in their joint article on " Climate in the Treatment of Disease," in Dr. Allbutt 's " System," lay it down as an axiom that " Pure air and water, the possibility of spending a great part of the day in the open air, good hygienic and dietetic arrangements, and the presence of a good local physician conversant with the peculiarities of the climate and of the entire locality, are the most necessary conditions." They have arranged in their article seven points for the invalid to study under the guidance of his physician : (1.) The selection and arrangement of his rooms for air and other hygienic influences. (2.) The arrangement of his meals as to quality, quantity, and time. (3.) How to be as much as possible in the open air.
