The Road To
Health
Continued from Page 4
But when she found out she
could be where her mother and
husband could visit her reg¬
ularly, she felt better about
going.
As soon as arrangements
were made, Mrs. Glen went to
the sanatorium in her own
county. There she cooperates
cheerfully with those caring
for her, looks forward to the
visits of her family and friends,
and is making good progress
against her illness. The way
she is improving, she will prob¬
ably be able to go home again
in a few more months.
Some people still believe,
like Mrs. Glenn, that they must
go to some faroff, distant cli¬
mate if they wish to be cured
of tuberculosis. But the rec¬
ords of sanatoriums show that
the results of care are about
the same in every part of the
country.
The tuberculosis patient can
save much needles sexpense by
going to the sanatorium near¬
est his home. Perhaps he is
eligible for free or low-cost
treatment in his own commu¬
nity, which he would not be
able to get elsewhere. The pa¬
tient also nteeds mental as well
as physical rest and relaxation,
which are difficult to obtain if
he has to worry about travel
expenses and hospital bills.
In a sanatorium or tubercu¬
losis hospital in his own coun-
ty or state, the tuberculosis
patieiA Is less apt to get lonely
or impatient during the time
| he is getting better Cheerful¬
ness and contentment are im¬
portant to the patients, and
they come easiei if he isnft tar
trom home. ycii’M UlAAf
