The Importance of Nutrivite Repair in the treatment of tuberculosis, is now generally acknowledged. All phthisio-therapists agre that the therapeutic trinity of salvation for the tuberculous invalid is composted of: 1-Fresh, pure air, in abundance, both night and day; 2-A properly balanced ample supply of nutritious food; 3-Plenty of rest, especially during the febrile period.

Metabolic interchange is thus quickened, better absorption and assimilation of food follows, and as a consequence, nutritive repair is encouraged and hastened
