Free Dispensary for Consumptives.
. Dr. Thos. H. A. Stitei, Medical In
spector of Dispensaries lor the Depart
ment of Health of Pennsylvania, was in
Tionesta Tuesday and established for
Forest county a free dispensary tor the
examination and treatment of patients
suffering from tuberculosis of the lungs,
under a recent act of assembly which
provides for one such dispensary in each
county in the state. Dr. F. J, Bovard, as
County Medical Inspector, will have
charge of the dispensary, under the di
rection of State Health Commissioner
Samuel G. Dixon's department. For the
present the dispensary will be located in
Dr. Bovard'B office in Tlouesta, and tho
hours during which such free treatment
will be given will be each Saturday
morning from nine to eleven o'clock
The dispensary Is intended for the bene
fit of patients too poor to pay for medical
attention and who may be for various
reasous unable of unwilling to go to a
sanatorium. The physician in charge
will examine Bud when necessary pre
scribe for such patients. It is the inten
tion to use as few drugs as possible, do-
pending mainly upon the fresh air and
forced feeding treatment. To such
may upon investigation seem worthy it
is the intention to distribute milk and
occasionally eggs. In places where the
probable number of patients Is great
enough to warrant such a step, a visiting
nurse will be employed to assist in the
work.
