Dr. lAwrason Drown and Dr. F If Heise of Saranac Lake, in an article on \Properly Regulated Rest and Ex. ercise In Pulmonary Tuberculosis.\ in the June number of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, holds that the action of the poisonous germs of this disease I on the body is very similar to that of overexercise. The pelsonoue irrtte tions caused by the germs gives the organs and tiseues of the body a dou- ble load to carry. Drs. Brown and Heise emphasize the importance of rest in the treatments of tuberculosis, but also insist that properly regulat- ed exercise is very necessary. They state their conclusions thus: \To ium up, exercise when properly regu- lated and systematically graded Is an Impel - tent factor in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Through it the patient Is in many cases returned to home and family with lessened chances of future relapse. At the same time part of hi. Partible capa- city Is restored and he is consequent- ly financially less dependent upon others, relieving him of much worry, expense and hardship.' HEART RIGHT.
