sign of invasion by tuberculosis must be treated
•with the utmost rigidity. Rectal temperatures
should be taken while the patient is in bed and so
long as there is any fever, bed rest must be maintained.
Such cases'should not be put out on verandas
in long chairs. Absolute silence must be
maintained when, during rest in bed, the temperature
rises over 100.4 degrees at any time of the day.
If this limit is not exceeded, the patient may visit
the lavatory and perform the usual duties of the
toilet. The' morning temperature should be taken
before breakfast, and it should fall at least as low
as 97. H before the patient is allowed to get up.
Cases commencing with an initial htemoptysis are,
as a class, the cases which exhibit the least fever,
and consequently require the least rest, but all require
some rest in bed at the commencement of the
bleeding. Later such patients may be allowed to
exercise cautiously Early resting prevents acute
and incipient cases from becoming chronics. Patients
who manifest at the outset the most violent
constitutional symptoms, if they eventually survive,
ultimately make the most perfect recoveries.
All these suggestions apply to laryngeal lesions
with double force. The cough should be controlled
with opium derivates, and absolute silence must be
maintained for a period of even months. So soon
as the temperature falls, laryngeal patients may be
allowed to exercise.—E. E. Prest in The London
Lancet.
