A Tuberculosis Directory: Containing a List of Institutions, Associations and Other Agencies Dealing With Tuberculosis in the United States and Canada (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Tuberculosis Directory: Containing a List of Institutions, Associations and Other Agencies Dealing With Tuberculosis in the United States and Canada
The development of the open air school movement already alluded to has a vital bearing upon the child in relation to tuberculosis. In addi tion to this, however, should be noted the rapid increase in the number of special buildings and special divisions in hospitals for tuberculous children, and more recently the development of a new type of institution known as the preventorium. The success of such an institution estab lished at F armingdale, New Jersey, for children from New York City, has led to the establishment of similar ones in various parts of the country, and the number of these will probably increase in the near future so that in future editions of the Tuberculosis Directory a separate section of preventoria may be necessary. Another significant development along this same line is the rapid increase of special children's clinics in connection with tuberculosis dispensaries. In New York City practically every clinic of the Department of Health, and many other clinics, have a special children's division and hour. These developments indicate a growing recognition of the fact that, if the child is safeguarded from infection and strengthened in body, his chances of later developing tuberculosis are greatly lessened.
