MR. W. J. GAGE TELLS OF THE GROWTH OF THE CON-
SUMPTIVE HOSPITALS IN MUSKOKA
Accommodation at Free Hospital Increased by Twenty-five Beds
URGENT CALL FOR FUNDS t TO MEET INCREASED
BURDEN FOR MAINTENANCE
Dear Friend :—
C4Intributions from rich and poor,
young and old, received by the Free
Hospital for Consquiptives, tell of the
lo‘e and charity towanl the great
work carrits1 on in Muskoka.
Thousands fin all parts of Canada
not only sent their "God blew the
work" but their money also to help to
answer their prayent.
pew WillOW out of her hard-
earned savings, telling how her own
heart was made lonely through the
dread scourge, as well as the tich
insurance cOmpanies, have rent their
gifts.
2,009 patients have been cared for
since the opening of our Homes in
Muskoka. 560 of theme were treated
iu the Free Hospital. 150 patients in
three two Homes to -day, show how
this life-aaving work has grown.
Premier Whitney, replying to a
large deputation in the interesta of
the National Sanitarium Association,
stated that "personally he thought
$100,000 would not be too much for
the Government to net apart for this
work."
Seventy five patienta to lw cared
for in the Muskoka Free liospital for
Consumptives means a large weekly
outlay. '1'lle Trustee' accept this
obligation, believing the needed money
will fortheoiniiig.
The world is full of good and
generous people ready to give. But
they w.asit to be sure that their money
is wisely spent. In no other place mut
your money do so much good.
The growing knowledge of the con-
tagious character of the disease has
tuade the lot of the consumptive poor
a hard one.
The Muskoka Free Hospital im to-
day the only place where a aufferer
in the early stages of consumption is
admitted free.
Will you not help to save the life of
a sick one to whom all other doors are
cloned?
What greater blessing could crown
your giving, than the knowledge that
it helps to snatch a fellow -being front
the very jaws of death!
$50,000 is wanted for the coining
year. Will you join in this greatent
of all charities?
• Faithfully yours,
- W. J. GAG/,
