NOTHING IN “CHANGE OF AIR.”

I f• *p ■ Dr. Hurty DUctutu Doing West to Cure Cooaumptioa. tn speaking of the natlohal convention for the study and provention of toberonlosis, which was held in Washington, D. C., last Week, Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, who attended, says it was the consensus of opinion among those present that it was worse than useless for those suffering from tuberculosis to “go West for a change of climate ” “What people want is to get air,” said Dr. Hurty. “This air is as good as any, provided people get enough of it. Of course, there is some advantage in a change of scene, and in that way ‘going West’ or East or North or South is of benefit. But for people of moderate" means to change their residence because of some belief in the magic of the air of some particular region is foolish, and I am glad to say the belief is rapidly losing ground.
