SUNSHINE In the Harvard "SUNSHINE" Pyretometer, we present to tuberculosis workers a new and improved type of Clinical Thermometer, which-embodying the essential virtues of accuracy and reliability-adds certain new features of marked advantage to lay users. This instrument was first introduced to the Medical Profession at the Washington Congress in 1908. It is the result of ideas suggested by, and many conferences with, acknowledged successful observers of the modern treatment of the Great White Plague. The difficulties which ordinary patients find in reading Clinical Thermometers have usually been met by "non-magnifying" instruments. The Harvard "SUNSHINE" lens is vastly superior to the "non-magnifying" style, as it presents a wider and clearer mercury column than the latter-yet is as easy to find, and any one can read it instantly. Harvard "SUNSHINE" Scales start at 94 or 96 degrees and do not run above 108 degrees. The results are: (a) Long, open divisions on the scale. (b) A mercury column easily shaken down, without in any way impairing the reliability or dependability of the Thermometer. Harvard "Sunshine" Pyretometers shake easily enough for lay users-yet careful manufacture and thorough inspection eliminate all danger of "retreating." They are the best Thermometers ever offered for tuberculosis work. Supplied in Acme (easily sterilized) Hard rubber or Metal Cases, with or without chains Here is the only Open Air Cottage" true to its name, the only Cottage that will house a person in two directly opposite conditions-viz. with the canvas walls all on you are protected from storm, wind and rain, and with the canvas all off you are completely inclosed in a screenedin house protected from flies and other insects and allowing a free circulation of fresh air.
