Book Description

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1916, Vol. 151 It has long been an accepted fact among certain specialists in diseases of children that exposure to fresh, cold, moving air stimulates the circulation, puts color in the cheeks, increases the vigor of the body, the appetite, and the assimilation of food. While this has been applied particularly to children sick with a limited range of illness, especially pneumonia and tuberculosis, equally good results are derived from the use of this outdoor fresh-air treatment in bronchitis, anemia, chorea, marasmus, and measles as well as in all children lacking in Vigor but with no tangible disease.
