A CLASSIC ON CONSUMPTION Words of a Prominent Canadian Citizen as He Has Viewed the War Against Consumption "Men, women, and children are all being mowed down every day by this fell disease--consumption--and it is a mistake." These words of Mr. Edward Gurney, spoken at a gathering in Muskoka a year ago, may bo fittingly termed a classic on consumption. The records of the Muskoka Sanatorium, as lo those of other institutions of a like kind, on this continent and in Europe, show very clearly that this much vended disease can be, and is "being conquered by tho treutment followed in any well-managed Sanatorium. In our own Province, within the time that the hospitals in Muskoka have been in existence, the death-rate from consumption has been reduced twenty-five per cent. Tho life saving possibilities of the sana- torium in Canada are limited only by the means required to carry on and extend the work. For this reason we very pei nak our readers to help in the great an growing work that is being dono at Muskoka, " It isa fine statement for the trustees of the Muskoka Free Efospital for Consuinp- tives to be able to make, that from the inonth of April, 1902, when this institution was first opened, up to the present day, not single patient hne ever been refused = to this hespital because unable to pay.
