Me- ef OP World's Greatest Plague Being Overcome Not so many years ago, consumptfon was the world's greatest scourge. It is still a deadly menace but not so potent because of the effective means which have been taken for its prevention and cure: 1. The physician, the dietitian and the ganitation expert have all combined and with the aid of the sun and fresh air and rest, have materially checked the great inroads which tuberculosis made upon our population, The National Sanitarium Association operates the Muskoka Hospital for Consumptives, the Toronto Hospital for COonsumptives and . the Queen Mars Hospital for Consumptive Children which combined have a total capacity of Just over 1,000 beds. They are th roughly equipped and have all acilities for the modern treatment of this disease, and it ia largely through their efforts that the bogededth kate from consumption has been to, greatly reduced. culosis and are without means to pas for their treatment and care. It requires a great deal of money (0 operate these Institutions, far more than they can hope to receive from statutory allowances, and it is only with the co: | operation of many generous friends that they can continue to carry on.
