Ever since that time daily ser- vices have been held beneath the mighty dome of the splendid edifice which, after Westminster Abbey, is the most celebrated ehuren !n the British Empire. The &et Christian chureh was er- eeteal on the site of the Cathedral in the early days of the 7th eentary by Ethelbert, Ring of Kent, and was burned down in 961. A lege church, Commenced the following year, met a similar fate in 1087, and this was followed by the erection of th, He- torie "Old St. Paurs", which took 1.50 years to build. Old St. Paul's was one of tin, larg- est and most magnificent church': the world, and for three eentariee it was the Mecea of nilgrime from all .parts of Europe, who were drawn to the church in enormous crowds to view the many eacred relies dieptuyed upon its altars. At the tint: ef t'e• dissoltion of the monastee,as ie tie, reign of Henry VIII most of lea trea- sures were stalen and its glorioue decorations destroyed, and daring :the last eentury of 114 existene, the ehureh became the ecene of almost ineredihle eaerileges. The Save ho- rania a public thoroughfare and mar- ket -place, a theatre and deinaing- booths were erected against the out- er walls, and a baker was permitted to excavate a hole in one of the but- tresses, which he used as an over. for baking bread and pies. .11)11ring the great civil war in the reign of . Charles I the side chapels wers used as stables for the home of the Par- liamentary army, The edifice was completely destroy- ed in the Great Fire of Lomlon in 1666, and nine years later the pres- ent structure, the masterpioee of Sir Christopher Wren, the greateet of British archkects, was commenced. It was originally intended that no memorials or monuments should be sot up in the new Cathedral, and there were none during the first hun- dred years of itsexistence, bat the buriel of a large number of naval and military leaders in the crypt dur- ing Nanoleonic Wars led to me,e'e ere: keing erected to their me, • ev 1- the church above.

The greatest of the, • ie rest, All repair nr diseased tissue le hest furthered by complete rest, At first thought it is diffieult to re- alize how a diseased lung can rest. It is possible, of eourse, te) put on.. lung Lit rest by surgical moans, but what about two lungs, both of which are diseased? If the lungs cannot be put at rest it may be possible to give them less to do. With increased physival art- tivity, we breathe more than when we, are resting. A simple way to af- ford rest to sick lungs is to giv • then) less. to do. The way to eve them the least to do is to go to bed and stay there. We breathe normally eighteen Butes a minute, when we do not ex- ercise; sometimes we breath.. lees than that, When we exercise, we breathe many more times than eight- een a lad/lute, When the lung is dee ceased and when fever is present in a person that ie not resting, the lung works More than is good for it; let is assume, twenty-six times a ute. The normal rate, eighteen breaths a minute, means 1,080 an 11OUr and 25,920 a day. If the sick lungs work at the rate d twenty-six a minute, it meant§ an faXeess of t)ight titres t reintite, 486 510 hour ! and 11,520 a day. This wane 11,- 520 unnecessary breathe 1 day. What has been said el ',remark of • the lungs July be said of the heart. This oreem bats normally eeventy- two times a minute, It can beat faster, so fast, indeed, thee it wears itself out. Let us say that it beats 10t1 a minute when under the !Will- em, of th,.. poison of tuberculosis. The', meinet thirty extra beats a min- ute, 1,800 an hour and 48,200 a day. Ie it any wonder that the eoneumptive is eaeily winded? Now, what happens when the pat- ient is put- at rest M bed? Often he finds out for the first time how very tired ho is. Tie knows that he has had no appetite. He cannot hi e e had, when his digestive apparatus has been fed with poisoned blood. But when the blood stream lowe down, when the poison cloes not circulate eo fast, he finds that he can at. He notes that he coughs less and prob- ably has less fever. How si,naple it seems: rest, less fev- er, less poison, more appetite, • ire. provement. But it is not so Fimpin resting in bed is hard, once the first, :exhaustion is passed. Let anyone who thinks prolonged rest in bed le easy, ask 5010e00e who has made the cure, but it is worth it, when the end is regained health. Collapsing One Lung Lungs are net elways cured by simple rest in bed. One may resort to an operation, known as lung col- lapse; otheewik called artificial pneumothorax, 011 gee treatment, This prOtedure coesOets in passing file tered alr into the chest cavity for 'the purpon, of eollapsing the luag or letting it close down on The diseaeed nreas and eavities become contareted or squeezed tegethr, gen- tly, of coupe, .Ae a conaequenee, the poison is prevented from pouring. out in eine] levg, 4441811411 4. As o further VollSetillcnVo the lardy 1xe- W•r,,i1 of much of ltd burden f Ws - v384, and 0 becomee more resist:ult. -Fever is frequently redueed to a wondrful degree and the patient feels groat ly 111113 TOW d. The lung thus treated by onetime - thorax remains closed 111 sone, case8 for years, giving the organ an en- forced rest, which not only Oases it to make progress, but which increas- es the disease resistance of the body. In some eases, the patient is en nineh etronger that he can live dowe his tuberculosis. Not all eases are .suitable for lung collapse; for instance, when there is too much damage in the opposite lung. In those cases in which a col- lapse cannot be done by reeson of adhesion between the lung and the chest wall, there has been more re- cently devised au operation that brings about a collapse of the (sliest wall by means of the removal of sev- eral or all of the ribs on the affected eide. • . - • • This operation is, of course, a more serious proceeding than the admis- sion of air into the chest cavity, but its results have been encouraging In that, in not a few cases, years have been added to the lives of patients who would otherwise have died. I have ire mind one young woman who had been in bed for six years with never ending fever. As the result of removal of her ribs on the affect- ed side, she is now up and about ev- ery. day. The tuberculosis person ought to have anything he can eat and digest. A few years ago it wa-s held neces- sary to overfeed all patient's 'diet were ill with tuberculos1s. The re- sult was that in some asee there were great gains in weight, but in others the stomach was upset and the digestion, already weak, was broken down. Physicians do not try to fatten patients any mare. If the patient gets well, he will get fat soon enough. Prepared foods have no speuial place in the dietary of the tubercul- ous. If the patient cannot eat what well people eat there is something wrong -with him. He should liot btt tempted to eat beyond his desiees. All Patients Cannot Sleep Outdoors Fresh air is essential for the tub- erculous. A famous phyeiciare few years ago said, "Too much fresh air is just- enough." But physivians have now learned that to mace fresh air is too much, They .useel to put ratients out on wind-swept porches in winter weather; they had a bard thne of it to keep warm. It is well enough for tuberculous patients to be outdoors if they are comfortable, because they at better, sle(t) bettor and cough less. But patients for out- door sleping must be seleeted; many of them have so little reeistance that they cannot keen warm. An airy room is open enough in winter, if there is free circulation ef air. Windows can be closed or opened, according to the varying necessities of the ease. Persone that intend to live outdoors must learn how to drese for the open. But the main point in treatment is the patient's ability to stick. He himself must do the work. It rests with him whether he is to he faithful to the job. 'Would it not be much easier if he could- have a "hot 10 the arm" and let it go at that? Wottld it not be a comfortable feel- ing to know that there wee a bottle from which he could take a spoonful now and then, and let the medicine do the work? Another mistake in 1.reatniene WaS to send the patient off to a health climate, regerdless of his condition. Health climates am good, it le true, but the patient who is to derive any benefit from them muet be selected, Not all improve when they are sent away. The poor fellow who goes away from home must be supplied with sufficient money to enable him to rest and thus get the most out of his climate change. it costs money to live in any climate.
