TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM. REPORT OF THE MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT. Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1928. The Honourable S. L. Howe, Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Seventh Annual Report of Tranquille Sanatorium, covering the fiscal year April 1st, 1927, to March 31st, 1928. The average daily population was 216, the largest number in residence at any time being 230. There were 245 beds available. There were 160 admissions and 164 discharges, and a total of 383 patients received treatment. These figures are considerably higher than those of last year. This is largely due to the opening of the new tuberculosis ward at the Vancouver General Hospital, facilitating a freer exchange of patients, to our mutual benefit. The Sanatorium has now been in operation for twenty years, and during that time has changed so much that only one building then in existence still remains. This is also the smallest of the original buildings. In 1907 it was the Medical Superintendent's office and the laboratory. It is a small wooden structure about 14 by 16 feet; it is being kept in good repair and will be preserved. It is now being used to house two male patients who are able to be on exercise, and they are quite attached to their little " home." A photo of the building appears in this report. Between 1910 and 1914 the Women's Building, the Pavilions, and the Administration Building were erected, also the Farm Superintendent's residence and what is now the Assistant Medical Superintendent's residence. During the war the Dominion Government built what is now the Men's Infirmary and Service Building, also the power-house and the laundry. These buildings, together with the old barns, composed the Sanatorium as taken over by the Provincial Government in 1921. Since then the buildings and grounds have been extended to such an extent as to completely change the appearance of the institution. The medical services have been steadily improved and kept up to date. Besides the regular routine medical attendance, the services of the surgeon are used freely, and a specialist in the diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat sees that none of our patients lack any care that is likely to affect the general health. A full-time dentist ensures healthy mouths. Two full-time technicians are employed in the laboratory, doing research-work, in addition to the many procedures which have become routine during the last few years. The working and living conditions of the employees have been greatly improved by the building of new quarters and the establishment of the eight-hour day and six-day week. SURGICAL. Surgery is finding a wider application each year as our experience increases. At the first of the year we had twenty-nine cases receiving artificial pneumothorax treatment. This treatment was attempted in twenty-seven new cases during the year and was successfully instituted in twenty cases. During the year four cases were admitted with artificial pneumothorax already established. At the end of the year forty-four cases were receiving the treatment. There were 887 refills given during the year. Extra-pleural thoracoplasty was done in ten cases. Results were: Marked improvement in six cases, improvement in one, no improvement in one, one death a few months after operation, and one death immediately after operation. This makes a total of thirty-one cases here who have had this operation performed. Over 50 per cent, have results which we expect will lead to arrest of the disease. As this operation has been performed as a last resort in nearly all our cases, we consider these results as excellent. Surgical treatment for various other conditions has been necessary. Y 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA. X-RAY. Twelve years ago the X-ray was not in common use, even in our best sanatoria. To-day it is indispensable. During the year just ended we took 634 pairs of stereoscopic chest films and eighty-seven miscellaneous films. There were dental films of the full mouth taken in 139 cases and seventeen single dental films. X-ray treatment was given for various conditions in twenty- eight cases. The fluoroscope is used very freely. Our sun-lamps have been kept busy throughout the year and about 7,500 treatments were given. BUILDING OPERATIONS. During the year plans were completed and work is now well under way on the building of a fine new 100-bed infirmary, together with other additions which are necessary to operate it. These include an addition to the Nurses' Home, an addition to the laundry, a building to house the male employees, a new residence for the Medical Superintendent, and five houses for the assistant physicians, the dentist, the radiologist, and the laboratory technician. RECOMMENDATIONS. To make the Sanatorium complete, when the buildings mentioned above are finished, some further additions will be necessary. The laboratory space is very much too small to carry on the work we are doing at the present time, satisfactorily. It will be impossible to extend the work until more room is available. If we are to take our place in the front rank of sanatoria our laboratory-work must be pushed ahead. There is a wealth of material here for research-work and every facility should be provided. The tunnel from the new infirmary cuts right through our present X-ray room and new quarters should be found. Our Administration Building is very much congested and a new filing-room is badly needed. I would recommend that a new Administration Building be built facing the present one, which should then be taken down. This would greatly lessen the fire hazard, as there is very little space between the present Administration Building, the East Pavilion, and the Men's Infirmary. None of the buildings are fire-proof, but are of frame construction. This new building could be connected with the tunnel, and as the site has a sharp grade at the back the basement-level could be used to provide space for the laboratory, X-ray department, and the dental clinic, thereby centralizing all these services. The Administration Building in this situation would be facing all the other buildings. Another building which is urgently required is an auditorium, with some gymnasium facilities in the basement for the employees. The present room in use as an auditorium is hopelessly inadequate, particularly with the increased size of the institution. On account of our isolated position it is imperative that we have a building for recreational purposes. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. I wish to express my appreciation of the visits and donations to our patients by the Red Cross Society. The various organizations in Kamioops and elsewhere who give of their time so generously in providing entertainments are doing a good work which is greatly appreciated. I thank those who made donations to the patients at Christmas. The kindly ministrations and good work of the chaplains and visiting clergymen is ac- knowleged with thanks. I wish to thank the medical men on the consulting staff for their assistance. I wish the staff of the Sanatorium to feel that their efforts are appreciated, and thank them for their co-operation. In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to all members of your Department for the support and assistance which has been given me. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. D. LAPP, Medical Superintendent. 14 -m v:> -:?::: •;"-'V'--:-i--33i,>.;.'- ■M «ff'"Si;:i main building, 1907. «■ fa^y WOMEN s BUILDING, 1907. ■ TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM, 1927-28. Y 7 STATISTICAL TABLES.

DENTAL REPORT. Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1928. The Medical Superintendent, Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C Sir,—I have the honour to submit the following report of work done in the Dental Clinic of this institution during the year ended March 31st, 1928:— The principal aims of the Clinic have remained the same as in preceding years, the removal of foci of infection being the primary one. This in itself involves considerable time and work, as the complete mouth X-ray on admission reveals all foci. In the cases of patients who have considerable dental work to be done, including one or more infected areas, which usually means extractions, the dental treatment is started as soon as possible on the advice of the physician in charge, and a systematic spacing of the work is arranged, so that too much energy is not expended by the patient at one time, in cases oi! multiple extractions to lessen post-operative shock. It has been the experience of the Clinic that when extractions are spaced in this way, where, the number of extractions at one time are confined to two, and on rare occasions to three teeth, and when the patient refrains from unnecessary exertion after the operation, that post-operative pain is practically negligible. All extractions are done under local anaesthetic and complete extractions of upper and lower jaws are rare. In previous years it has been the object of the Clinic to restore all mouths to a healthy condition and maintain them in that way while the patient was in the institution. This was carried out successfully, and the greater part of the work of the Clinic was in the restoration to health of the mouths of newly admitted patients, the maintenance of other patients being a smaller part. This last year the Clinic went a step farther. Working on the principle that the nature of all dental work must from necessity be governed by the health of the patient at all times, the objective was fixed of placing the mouth of the patient in such a condition that, while being free from infection, would ensure his freedom from any dental work of any great extent for some time after his discharge from the institution. This has been worked out chiefly by the installation of dentures of different designs. From my three years' experience in the Dental Clinic I can find no trace of direct relationship between caries—or decay of tooth-structure—gingivitis, pyrrhcea alveolaris, or irregularities in arrangement and construction of teeth, and pulmonary tuberculosis itself; and' I find that pathologic conditions of the mouth are slightly over the average, due in a great part to the inability of the patient to receive proper dental treatment while being confined to his home, on account of his lung condition before admission to the Sanatorium.

Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the annual Laboratory Report for the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1928. A perusal of the appended technical report reveals a most favourable increase in work on the examination of the blood. The addition of a full-time technician to the present staff has made it possible to secure, as a routine procedure, a complete blood-count of every patient admitted and, for comparison, on discharge. These tests are time-consuming if accuracy is to be assured, and the number represented for the year entails no small amount of concentrated effort. The Kahn and Wassermann tests also show a 100-per-cent. increase, and these, together with glucose tolerance tests, designate the blood department as one of the most important of the Laboratory. In this connection much greater efficiency would result if all blood analyses could be correlated in one room. The research into carbohydrate metabolism in the tuberculous during the past year represented monthly glucose tolerance tests on selected cases over a given period. The tests were done by the micro method, and the data obtained are now being assembled for publication. Dr. R. E. Coleman, who is directing this research, has introduced a revised programme by which future work will be done with the macro method. It is hoped to cover 200 cases within the next few months; results from these should be of especial interest. Of seventeen gastric analyses, seven revealed achlorhydria, a condition claimed by Todd to be frequently encountered in pulmonary tuberculosis. A series is being compiled and when complete will contribute an interesting paper on this subject. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation for your interest and encouragement. All of which is respectfully submitted. George Darling, Laboratory Technician. TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM, 1927-28. Y 15 GENERAL WORK DONE IN THE LABORATORY. Material examined.

Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Balance-sheet and the Profit and Loss Accounts covering the fiscal year ended March 31st, 1928. On looking over the attached Balance-sheet, Profit and Loss Accounts, with tables, you will note that our operating costs are much the same as the previous year, only showing slight increases and decreases under the different departments. The number of hospital days shows a considerable decrease, due mainly to the increasing difficulty in securing patients suitable for occupation of our pavilions. As has been pointed out previously, the lack of incipient cases seeking admission tends to keep our general costs at a high level. As you will see, our total revenue shows a slight decrease from last year. This decrease is shared by all sources of revenue except the municipalities, the greatest drop being in collections from sundry patients. This is due to the fact that so many of our patients are here for long periods and their funds are exhausted before they are fit for discharge. Our gross and net daily per capita this year are respectively $3.72 and $2.94. Our net expenditure for the year is $232,413.29, and this, with a daily patient average of 216, makes the net cost to the Government of the Province $1,075.99 per patient.

Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1928. 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, 1928. The crops grown this year were average ones. On an irrigated farm, particularly where there is an abundant water-supply, it would be difficult to anticipate a poor crop; this is particularly true of this ranch, where every year a good crop is obtained, and where some years an exceptional one is secured. In looking over past years' reports the yield does not vary greatly. This year we were about 75 tons below the previous year's hay-crop; this was due to an exceptionally dry, hot spell during the time the second crop was maturing. The dairy herd has had a very good year; there has been an excellent natural increase. The milk yield has also exceeded last year's by over 33,000 lb., with a total of 649,429.3 lb. A little difficulty was experienced with the general health of the herd during the early part of the year, chiefly breeding-troubles, which necessitated the attendance of a specialist in this particular line. I am pleased to report that during the latter half of the year this difficulty was fully corrected, and the general health of the herd is excellent at the present time. The practice of :2M2M2mr::2^22wmr¥m24: view of farm buildings. " CARNATION ROMEO DEKOL," BORN MAY 4T1I, 1927. TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM, 1927-28. Y 23 testing the herd for tuberculosis every six months has been rigidly observed, and although over 100 animals are thus tested, no reactors have been found for a great many years. The milk- supply has been sufficient for the use of the Sanatorium at all times. Among our high-producing cows might be mentioned " Alexandra Verona May." This cow was born and bred on the ranch, and finished her last lactation period with 24,383.4 lb. milk and 914.4 lb. butter, and during the last five lactation periods has produced R.O.P. records which totalled 97,090.4 lb. milk and 3,751.85 lb. butter. I am sorry to report that the housing facilities are entirely too limited at the present time, and new buildings must be erected during the coming year for the better housing of our growing herd. A building is in course of erection on the Sanatorium grounds which will accommodate 100 patients, and when this is completed it will mean an increase to the institution of over 40 per cent. This will also mean that the ranch will be expected to increase its production by that extent on all lines in order to supply the needs of the institution. We have the stock on the ranch with which I confidently expect to do this, but we are woefully short of housing accommodation for the dairy cattle. It will be necessary to build a barn to house the surplus females and also a building for the bulls. Referring to my report of last year, I emphasized strongly the necessity of purchasing a suitable sire for our herd, which would have both type and production. I am pleased to report that this has been done and an excellent young bull has been secured. This animal, " Carnation Romeo Dekol," was sired by " Sir Romeo Mildred Colantha," and his dam was " Tillamook Lola May Dekol " ; both of these animals having been All American (Champions) for two successive years. The beef cattle are improving in quality and increasing in numbers from year to year. The use of a good type of beef bull for this herd is showing good results, and the calf-crop this year was a decided improvement in quality over the past. An exceptionally long winter last year greatly increased the cost of wintering these animals, as it was necessary to keep them in the feed-lot almost twice as long as other years. The choicest animals are selected from the herd each year and stall-fed on balanced grain rations for several months before slaughtering for the use of the Sanatorium. In past years the swine have always proven to be one of the most profitable lines on the ranch ; this year, however, disease broke out in the herd among the young stock, which greatly lessened their number. The best of veterinary skill was obtained, but with no avail. I came to the conclusion that to remedy this condition it was necessary to dispose of the herd and purchase new stock; this I did with gratifying results, and at the time of writing I am pleased to report that the present farm herd is in the best of health and breeding condition. The loss in hogs, together with the cost of the long winter-feeding period, are almost wholly responsible for the year's deficit shown on the Balance-sheet. In past years we have always had the greatest difficulty in segregating the different -kinds of stock, due to the shortage of corrals. During the year we have constructed several large corrals, which have done good service and have filled a long-felt want. The scenic effects of the approach to the Sanatorium has always been marred by the immense amount of driftwood which had accumulated along the beach in past years. This driftwood has all been collected into piles and burned, greatly improving the general appearance. An experiment was carried out in the growing of tobacco and broom-corn. The tobacco- plant made rapid and luxuriant growth, and appeared to be well adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of this vicinity. However, like most other growers in British Columbia, we experienced the greatest difficulty in disposing of it at satisfactory prices. Broom-corn has been grown upon the ranch for several years, and we have proven conclusively that this commodity can be grown very successfully in the interior of British Columbia. Both warehouse and house brooms were manufactured each year and proved to be equal in quality to those made from the American brush. We have been in need of two cottages for the use of two married employees of the ranch. When it was found that there was no money available for the building of these, we decided to supply one of them with quarters by renovating a portion of the old boarding-house. This was done at an actual cash outlay of less than $150; although it was necessary to supply considerable labour from the ranch in order to accomplish this end. I am pleased to state these new quarters are very comfortable and commodious and have saved the ranch in capital expenditure a sum of not less than $3,500. Each year one or more new buildings are added to the Sanatorium. This all entails a further demand on the best farming land of the ranch for new sites and grounds. Approximately 7 acres were taken from the farm this year for that purpose. 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. D. W. Strachan, Farm Superintendent. SANATORIUM FARM REPORT. Tranquille, B.C., March 31st, 1928. The Medical Superintendent, Tranquille Sanatorium, Tranquille, B.C Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Balance-sheet with the Profit and Loss Accounts for the Sanatorium Farm for the year ended March 31st, 1928. During the year the farm has encountered adverse and profit-eating conditions which were unavoidable—namely, a long, hard winter and disease amongst our hogs. Everything possible was done to eliminate the hog-trouble, without success, and the final result was the disposal of the herd and a fresh start. Owing to the long winter the range cattle had to be kept on the feed-lot about twice as long as usual, thereby entailing the purchase of extra feed. With the exception of the above-noted departments, the farm has shown successful operation. Milk, beef, pork, etc., have been supplied to the Sanatorium in quantities sufficient for their needs and the quality has been of the usual high standard. During the year the Sanatorium has grown large quantities of vegetables, but it has been necessary for us to augment their supply as enumerated in the tables following. I have, etc., A.
