The following letter, addressed Co the Secretary of the National Sanitarium Associations Toronto, from the Rectory, Norwood,Ont., signed si nod by Rev. J. McKee McLennan, a well-known Angli- can minister of the province, needs no comment of ours. It reads: "I desire to sccure the admission into the Free Hospital for Consumptives at Graven- huxst of a young woman, a member o( my parish. The vaso is a very sad one, and if help can at once be given, a pro- mising life can be saved, Three years ago the .mother died of consumption. Since that time it has been my painful ainful. duty to bury two of the sons' with the same disease. Now Annie, aged about seventeen, anda boy of fourteen, are all that remain of the family. The poor ,girl has been in Muskoka, boarding ata private house, waiting to be admitted. She returned home last week, and within twenty-four hours of her returet her father dropped dead in iiia buggy ;while driving into Norwood. Tho ease is surely one that must appeal to the sym- pathies of everyone, and yet, I fear, onl ono of tho many that are constantly eoming under your notice."I .
