The chap got consumption, and was in a bad way would have had to say good-bye to an army life if Vandyke hadn't paid for his cure in one of the best sanatoria in America, and used influence to keep his job open for him, too. Nothing very black in that record, eh?" "Major Vandyke's the kind of person to pay high for anything he really wants himself," I said.
The low levels of most of the Saharan Sanatoria are against them except at the outset of the disease. We do not recommend boarding-houses or hotels in this column.
If you have a visitor, you will see the door slowly open, and a black face protruded at least six times in a quarter of an hour. They are intensely curious, but otherwise as stolid as owls. On April 16 we started for Mahabaleshwar, the favourite of all the sanatoria in India, save the Neilgherries, which are so far off as to be a very expensive journey from Bombay.
With his unwavering ironical smile, as though he appreciated the keen humour of taking so much trouble over such an insignificant thing as a human life, he husbanded his energy and fought for health. He took all the treatments the local sanatoria afforded, but he avoided carefully all the colonies and other gatherings of the tubercular.
Since then it has been a fight for health, with the pall of her family's history smothering each rekindling hope. Operations and sanatoria, health-resorts and specialists have not restored, and she lives, a neurasthenic mother of two neurotic children.
Our author knows no place more unfavourable to patients suffering from organic diseases of the lungs, than the far-famed sanatoria Aix and Montpellier. The atmosphere is pure, but ever and anon keen and piercing, and the bise and marin one cold and cutting, and the other damp irritate the lungs, and excite coughing.
He had spent the interval entirely in sanatoria and nursing-homes, except for a few months at St. Moritz in the Engadine, and had undergone six major operations, the last one entailing the removal of his left ear, though the external ear had been left.
Sanatoria, memoranda, gymnasia are now replacing sanatorium, memorandums, and gymnasiums; automata, formulae, and lacunae are taking the place of automatons, formulas, and lacunas; indices and apices of indexes and apexes, miasmata of miasmas or miasms; and even forms like lexica, rhododendra, and chimeræ have been recently noted in the writings of authors of repute.
What will it be in fifty years at the end of the century? What will the offspring of these quivering, twitching, highly strung men and women be like? Quo vadis, Americane? Already there are antidotes or remedies for this growing evil sanatoria where the worn-out over-worked are compelled to seek refuge, asylums of repose for those who have long lost the art of enjoying it.
The papers are full of accounts of nervous collapses, the sanatoria are crowded, while I never heard as much about insanity in the whole of my life elsewhere as I have heard in New York in one year.
