Dr. C. A. Wicks. Super.. intendant of the Sanatarium was kind enough to give many im, portant facts to the paper both about the hospital and the Associ~ ation and he also took the time to make a quick tour of the Sanatan ium for the benefit of this news, paper. The Weston Sanstarium has been operated by the National Sanatar~ ium Association. a private board of trustees, since about 1903. Al, though the Assoc. can perhaps no longer be called national in scope, it was originally named so because it was the first organization of its kind to be founded in Canada. This association is the father of three ‘children. the Muskoka Hospital for Tuberculosis in Gravenhurst. the Gage Institute Cheat Clinic in To, ronto, and the Weston Sanatarium. The association. founded by Mr. E. L. Ruddy of sign-board fame. is governed by a group of trustees who contribute their time volun-! hirily.LUp Phil. 1938: Dr. Debbie Some yam no. the story would have had 1 trattienlly different ending.

Sgnatarium 'P" live many Trn, the_vgneg both I It is necessary to explain here that since 1938, the individual municipalities have been relieved of their responsibility. financial or otherwise, during the patients stav in the sanatarium and such responsibility rests with the prov- incial govt. But the municipalities (must look to the after-care of the patient, and support him until such time as he is able to support him- I self. The municipality is given 30 _' days in which to make the arrange- ments and notify the hospital and it the notification does not arrive on time in the hospital they are immediately financially responsible ( for the patient's upkeep until such , time as the notification is received. ’ i In the case of Bill Smith. his (home town finds that Bill's f married sister is willing to look! i after him until he is able to work again, while Bill's wife will worki part time to help support them; Consequently. the town will only be required to pay a small portion of BilN upkeep. The town notifies the hospital that all arrangements have been made ind Bill is taken l home to his sister‘s. Because the 1 disease was detected in its early stages snd treatment was immedi- ( ate. Bill makes a complete recovery 1 in three months after release from 1 the hospital and because of the light f physical nature of his previous job he is able to return to it. If he , hopes to remain well. however. he l t Dr. Wicks then proceeded to tell i how a patient is looked after from e the time that he or she is found to s be suffering from the disease till .. that person is back at work, cured s of the disease. When a person. " we'll call our fictional character t Bill Smith, finds by means of one _ of the tests for TB that he has ' contracted the disease. Bill has his . name put on the waiting list at the . hospital. When Bill's turn comes. he is F. ught into the hospital for' [ observation. There is no question . of refusing a. patient because of f inability to pay his way. In fact, _ all patients receive the same care- I ful treatment because all accounts are kept in a separate building t and the doctor doesn't know whether he is treating a millionaire or a hegzarman. For those who cannot tfford to contribute towards their upkeep, and only " of all patients do contribute even a part of the maximum charge of $3 per day, the Provincial Government pays the Sanatarium $3 per day for them. Bill Smith is an office worker who is receiving no income l while he's absent from work and naturally cannot afford to use up ' a good portion of his life savings 1 with which he someday hoped to buy ll his own home. Fortunately Bill's l wife was going to be taken care of I by his sister during his stay in the I hospital. So Bill's account is to 1 be paid for by the Province and l Bill moves into the hospital in the , ‘hopes of an early cure. Bill's treat, 1 ment in the San. lasts for 14 I months, which is the average stay E in the hospital. Before he is dir. t charged from the hospital, a letter r is sent to the municipality in which I he resides asking them to prepare t the way for his homecoming. IO e ,,,_. -..

Since the last war ended, the tttaff of the hos. pital had .uttered I deems» and " 1 result the Patient annuity of the hospital has been anuller. But during the past twelve months the [ staff situation bu improved Buch' that it is almost back to normal. Al I result, two wards have beenl reopened in the hospital Ind the otcupnncy has inereaaed from 520l F. year ago to 620 It the present time. Expectations are that the number of patient, will soon be increased to 684, which is the normal occupancy of the Sana-l itin-mm.

In the Surgical Bldg,, laborator- [ies and other like rooms were of particular note. There was also a Food-tnoir/k room and a post- Fii;i'ii2 room In another room, ;sections of diseased tissue are sliced by a microtome to be exam- ined under microscope for study. Here also is found an operating room and although built in 1934 it still looks like the most modern (operating room of today. In the Medical Bldg. is located the -kitehen and dining room for the patients which is in hopes of being renovated sometime in the {attire and having; new addition. In the files of the hospital which are kept in the basement of the Administration Building. are kept complete records of each patient while he is in the hospital including doctors reports and charts. After the patient leaves the hospital, his: record is re-filed in a special card system which allows filing under the large number of headings necessary for statistic purposes. There are cards in the file from as far back as 190' when the Sana~ tarium was opened although almost all of the records from 1904 to 1909 were gestroyed in a fire in 1909. n c.., ---_5,,, . . _ - -"'___et u... um, "9"c0"" rind five teachers, who teach everything from Matriculation to 1?,et.lee.iir., and beyond.

There are a number of auxiliary buildings, Dr. Wicks gave a brief outline of the basic treatment for all types of tuberculosis. "The fundamental treatment," said Dr. Wicks. “is REST. That includes rest for the body as a whole and in particular for the organs involved. That is, if the lung is the affected member, an attempt is made to give rest to the lung. There are various pro- cedures to help people to obtain this rest, but this is yet the only ans- wer to TB." moditiet, for sale, but with that in. evitable mark-g coupons or so many units, plus the purchase price. 1 must say that prices com- pare very close to our Canadian prices for some thinxn.

Many points of interest and antiquity were pointed out to me, such as Sir Francis Drake's famous house of refreshment, Mel's Coffee House, I refreshed myself at this famous old inn and pro- ceeded to visit the Bishops Gar- dens, which are situated at the rear of the Cathedral. I was stand- ling on very historic ground. for the buildings are of the old Tudor and Elizabethan character. The streets of the city are very narrow and the traffic controlled by the modern traffic light system. The 11o?,t,art. well stocked with com- l -"'""'qrv mm“. tum, auu uunn [ Lee, the man they could not hang. ( We then visited the Cathedral, a beautiful edifice, built in 880. It was badly damaged in 1942 by bombs and marks of these are still in evidence, also the main part of the city has received a serious amount of bomb damage, whole blocks of buildings being blown down and various others partly wrecked, but now receiving re- building attention. This is a very old city and was one of the first in England to receive a charter. I was much impressed by the very fine type of people who were doing bar iness in the town. Accompanied by my sister we visited a picture theatre and afterwards we partook of tea in the theatre's restaurant, which is well appointed and the food first class. My sister then showed me around Northernhay ')G'ardens, through into Rougemont ‘Gardens and the flowers and lawns which are well kept. These gardens, I am told are on top of an extinct volcano. After a very pleasant walk through the business section of the city, we wended our way homeward, August 5 'lo-day I accompanied my sister shopping. We visited Exeter Mar- ket and I was much impressed by the crowds of people, nlso , the variety of goods for sale. resh vegetables were much in demand and looked of good quality. Fish was also in good supply and my sister, with other housewives, had to take her turn in the line-up for her supplies. I also had the pleas- ure of visiting the Guildhall, which is a very old building, erected in the year 1330. We visited the‘ Courtroom, where many famous) trials of years ago took place. Amongst. the famous, was the Balr l {Jacom'be murder trial,_and John I .My brother and I decided to go fishing, so away we go to Shudon.
