Consumption, as tuberculosis of tho
lungs is commonly called, is a wasting
ailment; stubborn to master, requiring
treatment and care over a long period of time, lfr can- seldom bo cured at
hoihe. Then, too, it is a communicable
eliTdrc’ esl>eciaUy dangerous to young
This was fully realized by the founders
of the National Sanitarium Association, when forty years ago they erected the first hospital in Canada for tho treat
ment of this disease.This venture met with much opposi
tion and ovon ridicule, for at that time
it was firmly believed that tuberculosis
was incurable. It was just one of those things which had to be, so why bother about it.
’ However, it was not long before the regimen of this small hospital began
to show results—-people wore actually being cured—going home and talking about it.
Such was the small beginning of tho Muskoka, the Toronto and the Queen
Mary Hospitals for Consumptives, which
now provide for more than olio thousand patients.
. The progress made .and the change m outlook is reflected by those and the
many other flno sanatoria throughout tho Dominion, and by the large number
of nubile and private organizations, which to-day are sparing no effort to'
overcome tuberculosis.
Tho results have been that thousands upon thousands have boon given a chance
to got well, who bub for hospital treat-
mout, would have 4 been left without hope, and the mortality from this disease has been reduced by 713%.
with tuberculosis ousted from the
premier position to seventh place as tho cattso, of death, there is causo for congratulation, but; there is also tho danger
of tho fooling of self complacency and
the slackening of effort. With tho goal in sight, this would indeed bo a calamity,
for tuberculosis will not halt its advance unless it is forced to do so. This can only
bo aceomplisliod with tho continued co-operation of tho public at large.Tho Trustees of the. Muskoka, tho Toronto arid the Queen Mary Hospitals
for Consumptives are determined that,
so4 far as.lies within their power, no one who suffers, from tuberculosis shun bo denied, a chance to got well, if you would help in this groat life saving work,
ploaso send a gift to National sanitarium Association. 223 College Street, Toronto-
