Show Colorado and Consumption. A very impartial review of tho influence influ-ence of the climate of Colorado on the health of consumptives sent there from other states has appeared, the statements made being based on an analysis of a hundred recorded cases in which the patient pa-tient has been under observation long enough for the effects of his sojourn to be determined. Fifty per cent, of all the cases received so much benefit that they were able to pursue their occupations without serious inconvenience. Seventeen Seven-teen per cent, were somewhat improved, I but had al ways to use certain precautions and to limit their exertions. Many of those returned to their homes. Seven per cent, of all these cases became worse, largely because of their own imprudence. Twenty-six of all tho cases died. Thus two out of tlireo received benefit from their residence in Colorado. Nearly all of those who were entered as "worse," and nine out of tho twenty -six who died, were doing well until some imprudence caused a permanent relapse. New York Commercial Advertiser, |
