86 JS^ORTII CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. tieiits to care for that the small space there provided could be kept in a most sanitary and tidy condition. The dangers from reinfection seem to be great. Very respectfully, (Signed) C. A. Julian, M.D., Asst. Sec. State Board of Health for Tuberculosis. To Dr. W. S. Eankin, Secretary State Board of Health, Raleigh, ISlorth Carolina, tuberculosis sanatorium, montrose. The inspector arrived at Montrose about 10:30, April the 19th, without previous notification, and found the steward at the train, together with three patients. I was met on the grounds by Dr. Brooks, who suggested that as they were cleaning the pavilions, w^e first inspect the grounds. Dr. Brooks remarked that it would be probably dangerous for me to be in the pavilions while they were being swept. The patients were in the pavilions at? that time. I later asked Dr. Brooks to explain this remark, and he said that they swept the floors in the ordinary way with the broom, and while there w^as little danger of infection resulting from this cleaning process, still it was more dangerous to be in the pavilion than outside. The grounds were found in splendid condition. There were a few young long-leaf pines blown over, which might have been replaced, that is, propped up, some time before, as they had been down for about a month, but lack of servants would make this apparent negligence excusable. In inspecting the water supply, Dr. Brooks called attention to the fact that the pipe carrying the hot water from the heaters to the pavilions, being without asbestos covering, allowed the water to become cold before reaching the baths, so that the patients had been, and were at that time, without w^arni bathing facilities. The casino was empty, that is, without any furnishings. The nurses' quarters were clean and orderly. Returning to the pavilions, we found most of the patients out in the yard and only three or four in bed on account of temperatures. These pavilions were screened, without dust, and, from a sanitary point, clean. A number of trunks were found in the sitting rooms which would have given a more orderly appearance to the pavilions had they been in a closet or stored away in some other place. The floors of the pavilions have a dirty appearance. This unsightliness was explained by Dr. Brooks to be due to their liaving been painted and then oiled. The oil had seemingly collected into droplets and dried, giving the floors the appearance of having been spat upon by tobacco spit. We then visited the kitchen. First entering the dining room, we found the tables cleared and the table cloths fairly clean. We were kept waiting between five and ten minutes before we entered the kitchen. The explanation for this was that the cook had not yet washed up the breakfast dishes, and the kitchen was not in a condition to receive visitors. After waiting five or ten minutes we entered the kitchen and found it properly equipped, and it was as orderly and clean as time and circumstances would permit. The patients were then questioned by your inspector in regard to their treatment. Dr. Brooks w^as not present while the patients were interview^ed. They all seemed happy and contented and none of them made any complaint. They said that they were as well fed and as well cared for in every way as they could expect for what they were paying.
