REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT.
Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1935.
The Honourable G. M. Weir,
Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to present herewith the Fourteenth Annual Report of Tranquille
Sanatorium, covering the year April 1st, 1934, to March 31st, 1935.
Owing to the large number of advanced cases, not suitable for active treatment, in residence, it has not been possible to show any greater number treated than during the previous
year. The percentage applying for admission in the far-advanced stages remains exceedingly
high.    This will continue until a much more active case-finding campaign is instituted.
Present indications are that we may get a Province-wide organization functioning in the
near future, with resulting co-ordination of all anti-tuberculous work under one direction.
At the departmental conference held in Vancouver in November last, tuberculosis was
given a very prominent place in the discussions and the feeling seemed to be that special efforts
should be made to launch a more active campaign during the coming year.
The Sanatorium has done its best under existing conditions, but it could benefit many more
people if the clinic and social-service work was adequate.
Although the number treated was the same, the work of the medical staff was increased
on account of a greater number of special treatments being given, and also through a freer
use of our clinic facilities.
The surgical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis was carried out to a considerably greater
extent than in previous years. Fewer cases were treated by phrenicotomy, or interruption
of the phrenic nerve.    I think this is true of all treatment centres.
The writer visited most of the larger treatment centres in Canada, and some in the United
States, during the year reported on. The object of these visits was to study particularly their
methods of surgical treatment. The Assistant Superintendent was sent on a similar tour of
the Western States for the same purpose.
During the past year the major surgical procedure known as thorocoplasty was performed
on eleven patients. There were two deaths, three much improved, and six good results.
Phrenicotomy was performed on nine patients.
The following table shows the amount of pneumothorax work performed on in-patients,
and in addition several out-patients were coming in regularly for this treatment:—

The affiliation with the nurses' training-schools appears to be continuing satisfactorily.
Sixty-five students received diplomas during the past year.    Since our classes first began in
February, 1931, there have been 268 student-nurses complete the course. They represented
the various training-schools as follows:— Q 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA.

An important event during the past year was the reopening of the Occupational Therapy
Department. This is proving a valuable aid in treatment, in providing diversional occupation
for a large percentage of our patients. Many intend to continue the crafts learned here, when
they return home, as they have found a ready market for their products. This is particularly
the case with those who have specialized in the various forms of leather-work. A detailed
report of the work done is contained in the report of the Occupational Therapist.
For some years I have advocated the employment of a teacher to work in conjunction with
the Correspondence Branch of the Department of Education. Both elementary and advanced
subjects are available, and many patients would prefer studies to handicrafts. In addition to
providing a form of occupational therapy, these studies would make patients better fitted to
take their place in the world after their discharge from the Sanatorium. Prospects of this
service being provided during the coming year are bright.
The Sanatorium library is an important part of the institution, and is ably handled by
Mr. J. G. Simmonds, who takes the library to the wards on specially constructed trucks. New
books only are accepted, and these are mostly provided through funds from Canteen profits.
Our library now contains slightly more than 4,000 volumes, the average weekly circulation
being in excess of 500 and the annual circulation over 24,000.
The Canteen, while not actually part of the Sanatorium operations, is closely linked up
with it. A Board representing the Sanatorium management, the employees, and the patients
is in control. A paid staff of ex-patients is in charge. The Bursar carries most of the burden
of the business management, and has built it up into a very profitable undertaking. Profits
are all returned to the staff and patients in the form of comforts and amusements. Sound-
picture equipment with two projection-heads has been installed, new radios have been purchased, library funds have been provided, and the Amusement Club has been financed. In
addition, during the past year we have been able to build a new, well-equipped store, all out of
profits from a business started on borrowed money in August, 1929.
Our per capita cost is slightly higher than for the previous year, due to slightly higher
prices for provisions and also to the restoration of some services which were discontinued in
1930.    Full details will be found in the Bursar's report.
I wish to take this opportunity to tender my sincere thanks to those individuals and
organizations who have contributed in any way to the entertainment and welfare of our
patients. In this connection I should like to mention particularly the Elks' Club, the Canadian
Legion, the Red Cross, the I.O.D.E., and the Kitsilano Boys' Band and their leader, Mr.
Delamont.
I am very grateful to all members of the staff and employees who have assisted in making
the work of the Sanatorium a success.
In conclusion, Sir, permit me to thank you and the various members of your Department
for the advice and assistance I have received.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. D. LAPP, M.B.,
Medical Superintendent. TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM, 1934-35.

DEPARTMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.
The Occupational Therapy Department was reopened at Tranquille Sanatorium in July,
1934. For the first two months occupational therapy was prescribed for about twelve patients
in the Infirmary; then a few patients were added in the Main Building. Gradually the
work increased, and to-day there is an average of forty-five patients doing work in these two
buildings.
In October occupational therapy was prescribed for the male up-patients, and in December
the women up-patients were started on the work, so that at the present time we have thirty-
three patients coming to the workshops. This makes a total of seventy-eight patients doing
occupational therapy work.
The activities which we have been using for the patients who are confined to bed consist
of: Raffia basketry; raffia on canvas; glove-making; simple leather construction; leather
tooling and staining;  oil-painting on parchment.
Each morning the workshop is opened to the patients from 10 to 11.30. Some have a
prescription for the full period, others for one hour, and still others for only half an hour.
The crafts done in the shop are: Leather tooling and staining; metalwork; reed-work;
raffia-work; glove-making; woodwork (this is of the simplest form, due to lack of equipment) ;
weaving on looms is another craft we hope to add to our list in the future.
On the whole the patients are becoming educated to the idea of occupational therapy and
are realizing its value. However, there are still some who see it only as a means of making
money. This is a serious problem and has to be continually guarded against, as it always
leads to overexertion.
So far, a sale of work has not been necessary, as we have never at any time had many
articles on hand.    They have been sold or retained by the patients who made them.
During the nine months that this department has been operating, 106 patients have received
treatment.    A total of 1,090 visits have been made to the bed-patients.
Our aim in this department is, as Dr. G. L. Bellis, Superintendent of Muirdale Sanatorium,
so ably puts it: " To promote recovery from tuberculosis by substituting directed and supervised physical activities for the undirected and unsupervised physical activities destructive of
the benefits gained through sanatorium treatment. To promote recovery from tuberculosis
by substituting normal mental activities of an industrious life for the normal mental activities
of an idle life. To enable the child undergoing treatment to continue school-work under the
most hygienic conditions possible, and to enable the convalescent adult to become educationally
better qualified to ' carry on ' his former occupations or to take up a line of work entirely new
and more adapted to his requirements. To establish morale, simplifying the problems of
administration, especially in the matter of discipline, and promoting in no small degree a most
wholesome institutional atmosphere."
I should like to thank Dr. Lapp, Miss Bibby, and Mr. Jefferis, and their staffs, for the kind
co-operation and interest they have given me in the development of this department.

LABORATORY REPORT.
Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1935.
The Medical Superintendent,
Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the report of work completed in the Laboratory
here during the year ended March 31st, 1935.
The figures show an increase in nearly all types of tests performed. Complete " blood-
counts " have been resumed as being part of the patients' routine examination, and the test
for " blood-sedimentation rate," which was made heretofore only on admission, is now repeated
every three months.
In our examination of sputa we have inaugurated the " Gaffky " method of recording the
number of tubercle bacilli found; this, in conjunction with the " blood-sedimentation rate,"
which is taken at approximately the same time as the sputum specimen, is, I feel sure, proving
to be of great value to the attending doctor in estimating the patients' progress.
We are using now far more frequently the method of guinea-pig inoculation in the case
of patients who show a consistently negative sputum, and also in the case of patients with
albuminuria; so far we have had very gratifying results. Our new animal-house with its
all-metal cages and added room makes it possible to keep up the supply of animals required
for this purpose.
This year has been exceedingly successful; we have been able to do much more blood
chemistry, and the Laboratory is now equipped to perform practically any test the doctor may
order.
In conclusion, I wish to thank you for your interest and encouragement, which has made
the work here very enjoyable; also to voice my appreciation of the work of my assistant and
her whole-hearted co-operation.
I have, etc.,
Frank E. Parslow,
Laboratory Technician. Q 14

SANATORIUM FARM REPORT.
Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1935.
The Medical Superintendent,
Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith my report for the operation of the Tranquille
Sanatorium Farm for the year ended March 31st, 1935.
The crops, in so far as I have been able to determine, were up to the average of previous
years, there being sufficient hay, ensilage, and root crops to adequately feed the various herds
on these feeds throughout the winter.
During the course of the year several head of beef cows were sold to farmers of the
Province. These cows did not show the characteristics of the beef breed maintained at the
Tranquille Sanatorium Farm, or else were considered not profitable as producing individuals.
The elimination of these cattle not only improved the appearance of the range herd, but should
make this unit more profitable.
Through judicious culling of the dairy herd and a concentration of proved blood-lines
within the herd the average production of this unit is being materially improved.
The swine herd was permitted to decrease in numbers below that desired. This was caused
primarily through the retention of aged animals within the herd. These animals have been
replaced by younger and more prolific individuals.
I have, etc.,
R. L. Davis,
Farm Manager.
