Postural Rest in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

B. A. DORMER M.D., F.C.C.P.1; ELIZABETH GREATHEAD M.D.; GORDON PIRRIE M.D.; P. SMIT M.D.; T. RANDALL M.D.; and M. van RENSBURG M.D.

1 Director of Tuberculosis Services, Union of South Africa and Medical Superintendent of King George V Hospital for Tuberculosis.

From our short experience of this form of treatment, and despite the relatively few patients who give their complete co-operation it has been the impression throughout the hospital that the response to postural rest far outweighs that of ordinary bed rest and appears to deserve more wholehearted approval and aclaim than any other single method of treatment.

We are indebted to Mrs. Barton-Hoare for doing the photographic work connected with this article.
