Some of the mnti•Probibitioniats at their
recent waiting on Hon, G. W. Roes and
Cabinet were not any too well pleased at
the course of the Methodist Church in
the forward movement along Prohibition
lines, and several eneere were thrown at
this body by eome of the speakers. This
is very silly ae the anti's will find solid
phalanxes in a good many of the other
denominations se well who will leave no
atone uataraed 10 manse the enppreesion
of a traffic that has been a great detri-
ment to every church in the land. Not
a small quantity of pointers were given
by the delegation that will be utilized
later in the awning campaign.
In the fourth annual report of the
National Sanitarium Association we have
a valuable contribution on the treatment
of cousnmptives. This association was
organized some five yeare ago, and has
now as institutions the Muskoka Cottage
Sanatorium, established four years, and
the new Free Consumptive Hospital, situ-
ated about a mile from the former, and
which is just about completed. In a
short time the trustees of the association
hope to have established in or near Tor.
onto it, home for those suffering more
acutely from this dread disease.
Daring the past year 186 patients treat-
ed 10 the Muskoka Cottage Sanatorium.
Of these 53 were from Toronto ; 117 from
other parts of Ontario ; 8 from other
Provinces of Canada ; and 8 from the
United States- figures that show the
national oharaoter of the institution.
Divided by religious denominations there
were 63 Methodists, 55 Presbyterian, 89
Anglicans, '7 Baptists, 14 Roman Oatho•
line, and 8 from other ohurohes. Tho
aces ranged all the way from fifteen to
eighty, there being one who had reached
so great an age.
Dr. J. H. Elliott, M. B , physioian in
charge, tells ns in his report to the aura
elation that the average gem in weight of
patients has been thirteen ponuds, and
there has been au average gain of four-
teen and a half pounds in those remain•
seg over three mionthe, The following
statement of Dr. Elliott is deserving of
careful study : "It is difficult to arouse
people to the neceseity of sending oases
early to aeoure the beet results, notwitb•
standing the foot that Ivo have shown in
previous years the, of inoipient oases 65
per Dant or over were cured."
The one matter that is pressing heavily
upon the trustees of the association at 010
present time is the fnrniehing and equip•
ping of the Free Consumptive Hospital
that Is almost ready to be opened for the
receiving of patients. The Drying need
