A brief survey of the scientific, the sanatorium and the social aspect of tuberculosis. Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Sanatorium Treatment by Dr. C. Muthu is a comprehensive medical treatise on the causes, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis at the beginning of the 20th century.

It includes detailed descriptions of sanatoria architecture and management, as well as statistical analyses of treatment outcomes. The volume provides an invaluable historical insight into early 20th-century medical practice against tuberculosis.
