By residence in an institu- tion of this kind the patient acquires hygienic knowledge and habits (‘ disciplinary treatment ’ or ‘ educational treatment ’) which must be very useful subsequently for himself, and possibly also for his family and others he comes in contact with. In France a sanatorium for consumptives, instituted by Dr. Oh. Sabourin on similar principles to the fore- ofoins: ones, has existed since 1890 at Vernet-les-Bains on the Canigou Mountain, but it has not been regularly kept open throughout the year. We hear from Dr. S. Bernheim^ of Paris and the ‘ Societe des Sanatoria de France ’ that the erection of fresh sanatoria in various ]3arts of France is being contemplated. Two new French ones have already been inaugurated, the Trespoey Sanatorium, near Pan in the Pyrenees, and the Durtol Sanatorium, near Clermont- Ferrand in the Auvergne. According to Dr. S. Unterberger^ private sanatoria for consumptives exist in Russia, namely at Halila in Finland and Lindheim in Livonia. There is also one at Tonsaasen between Bergen and Christiania in Norway. In England small private sanatoria for the ‘ open- air ’ treatment of consumptives have been instituted by Dr. Pott and Dr. Johns at Bournemouth, and Dr. Burton- Fanning^ has carried out the same principles at a locality near Cromer, about a quarter of a mile from the sea and 250 feet above sea-level. As Dr. H. Weber has long maintained, there are many other places in England where ' Les Sanatoria pour TuberculeiLx en France. Communication by Dr. S.
