"Flying Hospital" Possible. Says English Doctor Air Trips Would Benefit Pul , monary Cases, But Too , Uncertain for Ner . .' vous Persons. . London; Dec. 16. Hospital es tablished in airships in high and germ-free ' altitudes are "quite pos sible, according to prominent nerve specialists attending a convention here. , American doctors have long been interested in such a possibility of curing nervous patients by sending them for tripsin an aiiptane. A spe cialist here said Hying is hardly saie enough at this time to make it suit able as a cure for patients whose particular disability it due to nerv ous disorder, however. "I frequently prescribe motfarinj for nerve patients," said the doctor, "but generally short runs of 40 to 50 miles. I do not think people surfer. insr from 'nerves' wnu d wish to fly at the present time." The doctor pointed out. however, that to prescribe flying for tubercu lar patients and others suffering from diseases accompanied by malnutrition was altogether a different matter. He was of the opinion that airship hospitals were a practicable possi bility of the near future, ' Taticnts would probably be taken up to a height not exceeding S.tKH) to 10 Oof) feet at first, and In the first case for a few hours only, a peri ! which might gradually be extended to 24 hours. "We have not yet, however," said the doctor, '"very much information at to what the effect of resting for a considerable time at a very hi w altitude may be on the human organ ism, Sunbaths. . "It seems certain, however, that sojourn in the germ-free air will, by increasing oxygenation, improve anj purify the blood, and the modem school of medicine is tending more and more to recognize a given disease as a local effect of unsatisfactory blood. "Wonderful things have been done by a famous Swis doctor with what is known as hetio-therapy cure by sunlight. It should be ossible to make the wonderful light which would play on an airship hospital take the place of the healing sunlight which patients now seek in Switzer land." - Hooks mounted near the rear of the runners and operated by a hand lever form a brake for a new sled.
