The best known tuberculosis dispensary in Philadelphia, conducted by a private organization, is the dispensary connected with the Henry Phipps Institute. This dispensary during the eleven years of its existence has contributed greatly to the standardization of tuberculosis dispensary work, not only in Philadelphia, but throughout the entire country. Connected with a scientifically conducted hospital for advanced cases, with its laboratories and other improved medical facilities, the Dispensary of the Henry Phipps Institute occupies a high place among the similar institutions of this country. The nursing staff of the Henry Phipps Dispensary consists of three visiting tuberculosis nurses, aided by two additional nurses (both colored) assigned by other organizations to work on the Phipps Dispensary staff, one by the Whittier Centre, and the other by the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. Some of the important features of the work of this dispensary in its relation to nurses are as follows: (1) An efficient training school for tuberculosis nurses, affording the opportunity of hospital and dispensary training. (2) A course of lectures on tuberculosis given to the nursing profession at large. (3) Intensive home work among tuberculous families. Visiting tuberculosis work in Philadelphia is also done in connection with the Presbyterian Hospital Tuberculosis Clinic, St. Stevens Church Tuberculosis Clinic, and by the Visiting Nurse Society of Philadelphia. PITTSBURGH The Tuberculosis League Hospital of Pittsburgh was opened in 1907 for incipient and advanced cases, with a capacity of eighty beds. The League conducts at present a night camp, an open air school, a farm colony, a post-graduate course for nurses and tuberculosis clinics for medical students at its dispensary. There is also a post-graduate course in tuberculosis for nurses. The course requires eight months and nurses receive during that time $25 a month. Only registered nurses are accepted. The training is along the following lines: nursing advanced cases in hospital, open air school work, sanatorium care of early cases, service in dental, nose and throat clinics, and in the dispensary for ambulant cases, district nursing, service in baby clinics, educational work, and laboratory work. Patients discharged from the hospital, families of patients in the hospital, and cases reporting at various tuberculosis dispensaries, are given complete follow-up care by the nurses taking the course, thus giving them excellent training in public health work, especially that phase of public health nursing dealing with tuberculosis. At present there are nine nurses taking the course. The Dispensary of the Tuberculosis League employs six nurses.
