a 11x)44 can be atppenlel to 11 Divisional

THE TAILOR AND FURNISHER.
AN OPEN LETTER
From W. J. Gage, Esq., Toronto
A Problem of National Importance
Dear Friend t- '
A bright young lawyer at the Muskoka Sanatorium for Consump-
tives some weeks ago, speaking of the burden placed upon him by having
consumption, said:
"One has to lead a life of concealment If I go away from this place
people are afraid of me."
This is the sad lot of those who suffer from this dread diatom.
On behalf of the thousands who are sick and will not be received by
other hospitals, I tusks this appeal for the Muskoka Free Hospital for
Consumptives.
Nearly 10,000 people from every part of Canada aided In this good
work last year, sending tut $241,000.
The Trustees have faith that a still larger number will help.
The Physician's offices, throat rooms, etc„ up to the present have
nwcupied rooms in the hospital that rightly belong to patients.
To make better provision for the work. and furnish more accommo.
dation, a new administration building is now under way. A cottage for
the Physician and his young wife had also to be built..
To provide for this outlay, and to Cate for patients far the coming
year, we must secure at least $60,000.
The Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives never refused a
(patient because of his or her inability to pay. It cares for those whom
other hospitals refuse. It cares for those whom other people are
afraid of. i
" i was sick and ye visited me," was Christ's commendation.
Should not a richer benediction be yours if from s loving heart your
dollar makes a golden visit to this hospital, bringing health and ioy hr
those whom other people fear, and whom, in'siany' cases, nobody wants.
WIII you have the luxury of giving t
Faithfully yours.
