The Health Bulletin » 13 treatment and care that science and money could provide; the government, we are unofficially informed, spending quite $5.00 per day per patient. They had their clothes furnished them in addition to their care and treatment; they had the Red Cross, the Y. M, C. A., the Knights of Columbus aides, dietitians, nurses, doctors, all in abundance, and besides they were still receiving a soldier's pay, which for a private was $30.00 per month. But they were homesick. They wanted to go home and it mattered not that the home was far in the country, where a doctor could only be secured at long intervals, and a nurse not at all; where the food to be cooked and the methods of cooking it were of the very crudest kind; where the simplest methods of caring for the sick had never been heard of, in fact it mattered not if there were no home to go to—the sick soldier wanted to go home—was homesick. The most pitiable patient that we have ever had at the State Sanatorium was a woman sent by a local Antituberculosis Association and whose expenses were paid out of funds secured by the annual sale of Red Cross Seals. She had neither home nor loved ones, but she did have friends in the tuberculosis association above referred to who provided the funds, and the great heart of the great State of North Carolina who provided a place and part of the expense which made it possible for her to have proper care. The only relative she had was a nephew of 12 years. The Association had hired a negro woman to do the housework and such nursing as she could do, pending admission to the State Sanatorium. They had also provided food and medicine and house rent, the doctor giving his services as doctors always do under such circumstances. When this woman came to the State Sanatorium, the rented house was given up and so the patient had no home in this world—but she wanted to go home—that was the burden of her plea, and it mattered not that she SOLDIERS DISCHARGED WITH ARRESTED CASES These Men Are Leaving for Colleges and Other Places to Specialize in Vocational Training Begun at State Sanatorium
