TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM. REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT. Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1927. The Honourable William Sloan, Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Sixth Annual Report of Tranquille Sanatorium, covering the fiscal year April 1st, 1926, to March 31st, 1927. A total of 368 patients received treatment during the year. There were 136 admissions and 145 discharges. The number of betls available was 245 and the average population was 223, the largest number in residence at any time being 237. These figures when compared with similar ones for other years show that there were fewer discharges and admissions, which means that our patients are remaining for longer perioils. This is clue to the advanced class of cases which we find we have to admit. The explanation is that there are far too few beds available to accommodate the people who apply. The result is the attending physicians only apply for those cases they consider urgent. An urgent case practically always turns out to be a far-advanced one. These cases naturally occupy beds for longer periods than earlier cases and do not show as good results of treatment. At the same time, I believe it good business to admit these advanced cases. The more ill a patient is the more dangerous he is as regards spreading infection. The isolation of these advanced cases undoubtedly accomplishes something in the way of prevention. It is not enough, however, as earlier cases can be dangerous spreaders of infection also. If given proper treatment, early cases show good results and a high percentage are able to return to their occupation. Beds should be provided for all cases seeking admission. DENTAL SERVICE. A full-time dentist has been employed for the past two years antl the benefits of this service cannot be overestimated. Practically every patient on ailmission presents a neglected condition of the teeth and mouth, which requires a good deal of attention from the dentist. The general health is undoubtedly much improved by remedying such conditions. LABORATORY. There has been a marKed increase in the work as compared with previous years. We hope to be able to do more work each year. The amount of work we can do will be governed by the staff and equipment available. The laboratory is now playing a much more important role than two or three years ago, when no specially trained men were employed and only one or two procedures were routine. SURGICAL. The results of surgery in the treatment of suitable cases of pulmonary tuberculosis are proving very satisfactory. Cases in which artificial pneumothorax was previously instituted and treatment continued during the year numbered forty-three. New cases in which artificial pneumothorax was successfully instituted during the year numbered eleven. There were two cases in which the treatment was attempted without success. The number of refills given during the year was 891. During the year five patients had thoracoplasty done. One patient died following the operation, but good results were obtained in the other four. This makes a total of twenty-one patients who have had the operation performed. Eighty per cent, of these cases have had good results. As many of them were clone as a last resort, we consider these results highly satisfactory. Phrenicotomy was performed as an independent measure in six cases with beneficial results. Surgical attention was required for a few other cases. R 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA. X-RAY DEPARTMENT. The X-ray has been used freely and is a most useful adjunct to the medical work. Complete sets of dental films are taken of all patients on admission. Stereoscopic films are taken of the chests of all employees on joining the staff. This has proven worth while, as many people apply for work at the Sanatorium because they know they have some chest-trouble. The X-ray gives us an accurate record of their condition, so that they cannot claim that they contracted the disease here. There were 518 pairs of stereoscopic films of the chest ansl fifty-three miscellaneous films taken during the year besides the dental films. Over 100 X-ray treatments and more than 4,000 quartz-light treatments were given. We hope to add more quartz lamps to our equipment soon. LAUNDRY. This efficient and well-conducted department turned out over 32,000 pieces per month. A twin press was added to the equipment and is proving most satisfactory. A new mangle, which is badly needed, has been included in next year's estimates and will be installetl when the money is available. FINANCIAL. The bed capacity of our Sanatorium is one which makes for high per capita costs. Our beds could be greatly increased in number without proportionate increase in the staff. None of the higher-paid officials would have to be duplicated. When our new infirmary is built we expect to operate the institution at a much lower per capita rate than at present and at the same time show improvement in all our services. It has been our policy to improve the buildings and grounds every year and this has entailed considerable expense. At the same time, we feel that it is money well spent and is merely anticipating a public demand. We are making an institution of which the citizens of this Province can speak with pride, and believe that we are merely carrying out their wishes in doing so. SANATORIUM FARM. A good deal has been done towards improving the appearance of the farmyards and the approach to the Sanatorium grounds. The old road has been done away with and a new road built on a lower level. This will be flankeE! with an avenue of trees. Substantial paddocks for exercising the pure-bred stock have been built arouiiEl the barns and are a great improvement both for usefulness and appearance. The financial statement is quite satisfactory, as it shows a profit on operating in spite of the money that has been spent on improvements. It might not be amiss to point out again this year that the farm is operated on a strictly cash basis and receives current market prices from the Sanatorium for its produce. BUILDING OPERATIONS. By far the most important addition to the Sanatorium during the past year was a gravity water system from Tranquille Creek. This consists of a dam to create a pond large enough to keep the intake free from refuse and ice. a 12-inch pipe-line from the dam to the Sanatorium over 2 miles long, and a battery of two large mechanical filters of the latest type, ensuring a constant supply of pure clear water. A by-pass connects with the fire-mains, where the water is not filtered. This gives us sufficient pressure to operate four fire-hose simultaneously with sufficient force to throw a full stream over any of our buildings. Almost equally important was the installation of a trunk sewer, which eliminated the necessity for the group of septic tanks and which carries the sewage to some considerable distance from the Sanatorium. Both these changes have been recommended every year for a number of years. A building to house the female employees was erected not far from the Nurses' Home. This building is comfortable, well equipped in every way, and enables us to house all our female employees together in a building quite removed from any patients' quarters. It has also helped relieve the congestion which formerly existed in the quarters occupied by male employees. Some of the rooms vacated by the women are now being used for housing some of the male staff. A new cottage was built for the Clerk of Works and provided us with more room for married staff. Cement curbs and irrigation-ditches were built around some of the lawns antl cement curbs and gate-posts were built at the entrance to the grounds. A large open feed-barn was built on the farm for feeding the beef stock during the winter. It has been our experience that the range stock fattens better when loose in a paddock than when tied up in a barn. The feed-barn provides a place where they can eat while running loose and gives them shelter at the same time. Funds were provided for at the last session of the Legislature to erect a new 100-bed infirmary and the other additions necessary to enable us to operate it. Work on these buildings will be commenced during the coming year. RECOMMENDATIONS. When the new buildings are aElded it will be very important to have some members of the staff fairly permanent. Owing to the isolated position of the Sanatorium, it will not be possible to do this unless quarters are provided for us to employ married men or to enable some of our present staff to get married. Four or five years have been spent in building up a good organization, and I would strongly recommend that married quarters be provided for four or five senior officers of our staff, in order that we may hold it together. This should be done during the next year. Year after year I have recommendeEl the erection of a proper auditorium ami assembly-hall, with provision in the basement for indoor recreation for the employees. I have always felt the need for this building to be urgent, but with the increased size of the institution it will be imperative. The room at present in use is quite inadequate. I would recommend that this be provided for as soon as the new infirmary is openeil. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The visiting committee of the Red Cross continued their regular visits throughout the year. They are always looked forward to antl appreciated. The Kamloops branch of the I.O.D.E. donated subscriptions to a large number of periodicals. These are circulated amongst the patients, through the library, and are very gratefully received. Various donations were made at Christinas and these are all acknowledged with thanks. Many enjoyable entertainments were provided by various organizations and I wish to thank those responsible most heartily. The work of the chaplains and visiting clergymen is much appreciated and is acknowledged with thanks. I wish to thank the consulting surgeons for their assistance during the past year. I wish to acknowledge the splendid co-operation of all members of the staff of the Sanatorium who have in any way contributes! towarils the successful operation of the Sanatorium. In conclusion, I wish to thank you, sir, for the support and assistance which has been granted me by all members of your Department with whom I have come in contact. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. D. LAPP, Medical Superintendent. R 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA. STATISTICAL TABLES. TABLE No. 1.—GENERAL STATISTICS FOR YEAR 1926-27. Civil. Military.

Tranquille, B.C., April 1st, 1927. The Medical Superintendent, Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit the following statement of work completed in the Dental Clinic of this institution during the year ended March 31st, 1927. The principal aims of the clinic have remained the same as in the preceding year—namely, to remove all foci of infection, to restore the mouth to a healthy condition, and maintain it as such as long as the patient is in the institution. Very often the commencement of the work must, from necessity, be delayed on account of the weakened condition of the patient on admission, but, acting on the advice of the physician in charge, the work is started as soon as possible either in the patient's room or in the clinic. It has yet to be the experience of the clinic to examine a patient and find no need for Elental treatment. During the past year the condition of the mouths of patients on admission has been slightly better, and from a checking of examinations for the last six months it has been found that the general average mouth requires seven cavities to be filled, two extractions to be performed, and gum-infections to be relieved in 50 per cent, of the cases. These conditions have no doubt been aggravated by the fact that a great many patients have been confined in their homes for some time awaiting admission, thereby making dental treatment practically impossible. I would also like to draw attention to the great benefit anEl help deriveEl from constant co-operation with an X-ray Department. This fact has always been recognized by the profession at large and is being used as far as possible, for undoubtedly the examination and treatment of a patient is bettered by the addition of full-mouth X-ray films at the examination and check-up films during the treatment. Following is a statement of the work completed in the clinic for year ended March 31st, 1927 :— Fillings 648 Extractions _ 387 Dentures 122 Rebases 9 Repairs 30 Inlays (gold) _ 8 Bridges 11 Devitalizations 14 Treatments 233 Pyorrhoea 33 Prophylaxis 163 I have, etc., G. J. Cameron, D.D.S. LABORATORY REPORT. Tranquille, B.C., April 1st, 1927. The Medical Superintendent, Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report of work done in this Laboratory during the fiscal year 1926-27. The figures in the accompanying statistical report indicate a slight increase in routine work. In addition, much extra time has been consumed in the preparation of our own media, reagents, and antigens. The development-work, in preparation for research in the carbohydrate metabolism of the tuberculous, is now completed and a preliminary paper compiled for publication. Dr. R. E. Coleman, Assistant Director, Laboratories, Vancouver General Hospital, under whose direction this investigation is being conducted, has submitted a tentative programme by which further studies are now proceeding. Comparative renal functional tests between the phenolphthalien and Mosenthal methods have afforded information prompting further investigation in cases with albuminuria. These findings with non-protein nitrogen determinations will form the basis for an article in the B.C. Laboratories Bulletin. During the year several compositions have been contributed to this source. Stock cultures of tubercle bacilli, primarily grown in this Laboratory, are being subcul- tured in an effort to attenuate the organism. A sample of this strain has been supplied to the University of British Columbia for demonstration purposes. We have recently acquired a microtome and, in future, pathological specimens will be prepared to supplement the gross findings at autopsy. Tissue-slides from animal autopsies will also assist in diagnosis. During the year emergency blood-counts only have been done. Complete blood examination on all new admissions is now practised as a routine procedure. As shown in the report, we continue to employ both the Kahn and Wassermann reactions —the Kahn as routine and the Wassermann a corroborative test. A number of sera have been examined for the Laboratories of the Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, which has enabled us to add to our record of the two reactions. Our findings favour the Kahn preciptin test as being more sensitive than the Wassermann in treated cases. One per cent, of the institutional patients react positively to both tests. Two lectures, with microscopic demonstrations, were given at the Tranquille School and at the Lloyd George Public School, Kamloops. The subject in each case was " Micro-organisms." The interest evinced by the pupils antl the commendations of the teachers emphasized the practical usefulness of this feature. All of which is respectfully submitted.

Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1927. The Medical Superintendent, Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Balance-sheet and the Profit and Loss Accounts covering the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1927. In reviewing the work for the year you will note a slight increase in our expenditures by voucher, the total expenditure for the period being $286,858.74, as against $281,169.23 for the previous year, the difference being the sum of $5,689.49. The departments showing increases are salaries, travelling and transportation, office supplies, and provisions. The remaining departments are practically the same, or show a slight decrease. Our total revenue has shown a decrease from the previous year, although accounts covering both donations and private patients show increases. Receipts from the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment continue to fall off as the number of ex-soldiers being treated here is steadily becoming less each year. Owing to changes in the rates governed by the amendment to the " Hospital Act " of 1926, our collections from municipalities fell off for a time, but as each month passes this Act is becoming better understood, and I think it is quite safe to predict that our collections from municipalities have reached zero-point and from now on will show increases. The gross and net per capita have shown an increase of 20 and 40 cents respectively, and is due more to a decrease in the number of hospital-days and to the decrease in the revenue than to the slight increase in our expentlitures. Our net expenditure (including depreciation) for the year is $241,802.90, which, with 81,422 days' treatment, makes the net cost to the Government of the Province $1,084.31 per patient. The Occupational Therapy classes still continue to do splendid work, and taking into consideration the large number of advanced cases in the institution the work is very creditable to the instructor. I again take this opportunity of thanking you for the valuable support and assistance you have given me during the year; also, to my assistants and all departmental heads I wish to tender my sincere appreciation of their co-operation in carrying on the work of the institution. I have, etc., A. Whitecross, Bursar. TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM. Balance-sheet, March 31st, 1927. Assets.

FARM SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1927. The Medical Superintendent, Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith my report for the operations of the Tranquille Sanatorium Farm for the year ended March 31st, 1927. The crops in all lines were particularly good, with the possible exception of the potaoto-crop, and this, notwithstanding the care that was given in the selection of good seed and the preparation and fertilization of the soil, did not yield sis heavy a crop as might be expected. This condition, however, was general throughout the community, and was doubtless due in most part to the climatic conditions of this particular season. The alfalfa-crop wTas the best that we have yet harvested; three crops were obtained in all fields and four crops on a large percentage of the acreage. The season was very favourable to the growing of hay, and a larger acreage has been put under alfalfa than ever before. The timothy-crop also was good, a very fine first crop, with a very fair second crop, being obtained. A large number of garden vegetables were also produceEl to supply the needs of the farm and the Sanatorium. A survey of this farm shows a great variety of soil, varying from a light covering of silt, with a subsoil of heavy gravel, to a heavy top soil of silt, or in other parts to a heavy gumbo soil. This variety of soil composition makes it difficult to follow the regular rotation of crops, owing to the limited amount of acreage which is suited for root and hoe crops. We are, however, fortunate in having the manure from over 500 heatl of cattle, as well as the horses, to spread upon this land. This has always been done in a liberal manner, with good results. It has been TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM, 1926-27. R 23 found that neither a very light soil nor a very heavy soil is suitable for corn, potatoes, or other vegetables. All the popular fodtler-plants have been tried out, including sunflower, corn, alfalfa, timothy, bromus, Sudan grass, sorghums, millets, billion-tlollar grass, alsike, and clover, but it has been found that corn for silage and alfalfa for hay and roughage give the best results, both with respect to high tonnage yield and suitability for milk production. An important factor in the production of this ranch is the bountiful supply of irrigation- water. While there has always been a large amount of irrigation-water run down as a freshet, we are at times very short of the necessary amount of water for irrigation in the latter part of the season. The dams which I mentioned in my last report have been 100 per cent, efficient in this respect and have been in a large measure responsible for the three and four crops of alfalfa which have during the past few years supplemented our hay-crop. The dam on Saul Lake has been a wonderful success and has required no repairs whatever, nor does it look as if it ever will need any repairs, so substantial does it seem at the present time. However, it may be necessary to build this dam higher in order to secure a greater water-supply in years to come. I am sorry to say that the dam at the Tranquille Lake has not been up to this standard. This was due in a small measure to our inexperience in building the original dam, but in a larger measure to the faultiness of the material which we were compelled to use in its construction. The consistency of the Saul Lake dam was such that it absolutely withstood the action of the water, while the character of the earthy material available at Tranquille Lake would suggest a volcanic ash which was not impervious to the water, and the greatest difficulty has been experienced in withstanding the eroding effect of the water. However, less than $25 in expenses was necessary to hold the water-supply this year. It will be necessary, however, to put considerably more expense on the Tranquille dam during the coming year in orEler to bring it up to the standard of requirements. I am pleased to report that the dairy herd has kept up its production, exceeding the output of last year by 26,000 lb. The appended list of R.O.P.'s wili give some idea of the individual yields. It will be noticed that '■' Mercena Molley Hengerveld," " Alexandra Birdie May," and " La Vata DeKol of Penticton " have sustainetl their previous reputations by protlucing respectively, 23,988 lb., 21,436 lb., and 19,629 lb. of milk, with butter yields of 996.25 lb., 903.75 lb., and 855 lb. " Alexandra Ormsby Birdie " produced 21,831.2 lb. of milk and 967.5 lb. of butter, while " Alexandra Verona May " and " Excellency Hengerveld Echo " will finish their test in a month or two with well over 21,000 lb. of milk. While no apology is necessary regarding the production of this herd, we feel that higher- quality sires should be purchased in the future in order to sustain this average production and at the same time build up the conformation and quality of each individual in the herd. The value of the sire cannot be too strongly emphasized and the purchase price should not interfere with the selection of a suitable sire. As will be readily seen, the purchase price is a small item when distributed over the calf-crop of a number of years. The purchase of one poor sire will undermine the work of many years of upbuilding. Attention to milk production has always been given first place in this herd, with gratifying results, but some attention must be paid in the future to type. When type and production are combined in the same individual, it, of course, means greatly increasetl value. It will be necessary to purchase a sire of this description during the coming year. This dairy herd is tested regularly twice a year for tuberculosis and no reactor has been found for many years. The general health of this herd has also been better than last year and very few losses have been sustained. While speaking of the health of the herd I would like to mention that the northerly end of the barn is very much exposed to cold wind coming from the north-west; this wind hits the animals in that part of the barn during the cleaning-out of the building, and I would suggest that a shed be erected during the coming year which will be sufficiently large to enclose the manure-spreader, and thus protect the cattle from these cold blasts. I might state here that three calves kept in this part of the barn last winter contracted pneumonia and died. I attribute the cause to this exposure. The beef cattle are showing steady improvement in type, due in part to the introduction of a few pure-bred females and in a greater extent to the use of better bulls. In past years great difficulty has been experienced by stray, non-descript bulls running at large upon the open R 24 . BRITISH COLUMBIA. ranges. This difficulty has largely been eliminated, so that our own good bulls have been allowed to show the results. The herd has been increased during the year from 341 head to 416. The range cattle have been given better attention in the matter of feed during the winter months; their ordinary roughage having been supplemented with silage. The animals which have been selected for beef to supply the Sanatorium have also been placed in feed lots and fed on grain rations for several months before slaughtering. This has resulted in beef of first quality being supplied to the institution at all times. For many years a small flock of sheep has been kept on the farm, but were never allowed to go upon the open ranges. As it was difficult to keep this flock upon the farm, and it was not large enough to supply the entire needs of the Sanatorium, we decided last spring to purchase an addition to the flock and to run them all upon the ranges, with a herder in charge. This was done and 217 ewes were purchased from the Prairies. The lamb-crop was a real success, resulting in a 115-per-cent. crop. As the season advanced, however, we found that the greatest care had to be exercised in selecting feeding-grounds where water was of more easy access than was necessary for the cattle. We also found that a very poisonous weed (Astragulus cam- pestris) was prevalent upon our ranges, and this affected our sheep, causing a slow poisoning. The sheep also interfered with the feeding-grounds of the cattle and required much more attention than could be conveniently given them on a mixed farm. We saw an opportunity in the late fall of disposing of them at a small profit over the purchase price and operating expense for the season, and with the experience we had gleaned during the summer months we felt it to be the wiser course to dispose of them while the opportunity offered. The swine, always a profitable department of the ranch, gave us this year better returns than ever before. No difficulties or diseases of any kind affected the herd this year. Our breeding stock have been mostly pure-bred Berkshires, but little attention has been paid to the sale of pure-bred stock, as we have found the raising of pigs for the general market equally profitable. We are able at all times to supply the needs of the institution, besides selling a very large surplus elsewhere. For the past three years turkeys have been raised on the ranch to supply our home needs. Very little expensive accommodation has so far been given them, and as a result they have proved fairly profitable. The one drawback in the raising of turkeys is the great difficulty in obtaining labour with sufficient experience to handle them properly. With a large number and variety of stock, such as we have on this ranch, we have always experienced trouble in segregating them into the necessary groups at different seasons of the year, especially in the fall, when we are rounding up and weaning the calves and selecting the beef for winter feeding. In order to obviate this difficulty we have constructed several new paddocks close to the farm buildings. These are doing good service and are filling a long-felt want. A little more work has been done on the grounds than ever before; more should be done, but money has not been available for that purpose in the past. As the grounds of the Sanatorium are improving every year, and as the ranch-grounds adjoin them, I think that it would be advisable to include a sum of money in our estimates for the purpose of bringing up these grounds to the standard which would be more in keeping with the immediate surroundings. The beef-barn, 180 feet long and divided into two parts, with adjoining paddocks, was constructed during the year. One part of this building affords excellent accommodation for the beef cattle selected from the ranges for home consumption. The other part proved valuable for the feeding of the weaned calves, approximately 100 in number. In conclusion, I wish to thank you for the valuable co-operation afforded me in my work, and to the Department for all assistance given during the past year. All of which is respectfully submitted.
