Abstract
THE important part which climate plays in the etiology and cure of lung diseases is well recognised. In this essay Dr. Kinsey-Morgan shows the advantages which Bournemouth offers to consumptive patients, or to persons suffering from any form of chest disease. He differs from writers on continental health-resorts and sanatoria, inasmuch as he points out how hygiene and medical influences must supplement climatic conditions, and insists that wholesome sanitary surroundings are more important points to be considered than particular thermal or mineral waters.
