In Baltimore there are several small municipal dispensaries, all under the control of, and managed by, the Department of Health. They are situated in different parts of the city, readily accessible to the patients of different localities. Each dispensary consists of two or three rooms, which are in the same building which houses the Federated Charities, and other social agencies. This arrangement has several advantages, from the point of view of both economy and co-operation. To have rented similar rooms in another building or in a private house would have meant a much greater outlay of money, to say nothing of the opposition encountered in obtaining the use of these rooms for dispensary purposes. The furnishings of these little municipal dispensaries are extremely simple, but they lack nothing of comfort and convenience. The outer or waiting room contains two or three dozen chairs, or benches to accommodate an equal number of people. A corner of this room is screened off for the nurse’s table, where she keeps her charts and records, and writes the patients’ histories. A couple of filing cabinets, a medicine closet, and a pair of scales complete the outfit. [Illustration: Waiting Room in Municipal Dispensary] The inner, or examining room, is also simple and inexpensively furnished. It is divided into several compartments by means of gas piping, each compartment being large enough to hold a revolving stool and a wicker lounge. Unbleached muslin curtains hang from these gas-pipe rods, making several little cubicles in which the patients are examined. It is thus possible for the doctor to examine a patient in one cubicle, while another patient undresses in the adjoining one—an arrangement which saves considerable time. Sheets, towels, and blankets complete the necessary furnishings, which may be cheap or costly according to the means available. The doctor’s table stands in one corner of this examining room. This is not necessarily the last word as to what tuberculosis dispensaries should be, but we have found the ones described practical. No tuberculin tests are given here, and all sputum examinations are made at the Health Department laboratory.
