Sleeping Shelters.
The loan of such shelters is made to suitable cases. That is,
to patients in an infectious condition or on account of overcrowding,
but frequently one finds there is no available space for a shelter in
the garden or yard attached to the patient's house. Lack of privacy
sometimes is also an obstacle. When convenient to be used they
form a useful continuation of Sanatorium practice for a conscientious
patient.
