QQ 621450 The eye clinic, sponsored by the Depart- ment of Health, was first started at the Philips- burg State Hospital in T937 under the leader- ship of Dr. William Angle. In 1939, Dr. H. Fork Clark, Ophthalmologist of Huntingdon, Pa., was placed in charge of the clinic and with the assistance of Miss Frances Houck, R. N., has done great work in the treatment of both medi- cal and surgical conditions ofthe eyes as well as refractive errors. This clinic is a service of the hospital out- paitent department and is held weekly by appointment. 42 1fLe1fL1f1fL0fAe1f0Lloy Cgnic The pneumotherapy clinic operates in co- operation with the Bureau of Tuberculosis Control of the Pennsylvania State Department of Health. Here patients who have been re- leased from tuberculosis hospitals continue treatment while at home so that the condi- tion is kept under control. Treatment consists of the injection of air into the thoracic or peri- toneal cavity to collapse the lung and allow the infected area to heal. This clinic is held in the out-patient department of this hospital and is under the direction of Dr. George Taylor of Philipsburg with the assistance of Dr. Clark Forcey, Radiologist of Philipsburg, who does fluoroscopic examinations ofthe patients after each iniection so as to determine the amount of collapse and the amount of healing that takes place with each treatment. This clinic is held each Saturday morning.
