POOR MOTHERLESS CIRC
THE ELDEST OF A FAMILY OF SIX
A Touching Story as Told in a Letter
to The Toronto Globe.
To the Editor of The Globe; Sir, -I
ask for space in your columns to quote
from a letter received at , this office
For obvious reasons I do not give the
name. The letter reads :-' ` 1 have a
said ease to present to you.•' Twelve-
years
welveyears ago a mother died, leaving six
small children, the eldest eight years
old and the youngest an infant. My
mother took the eldest and kept her
until Iny, mother's death. Then the
young girl wente clerking on small
wages. Last year she contracted a
cold of which she has never been free,
and she has been unable to work since
last January. She is just nineteen
years old. Kindly tell me how to
proceed to get her into the Muskoka
Free Hospital for Consumptives."
The sad part of it is this letter is only
one of many -alike pathetic and ap-
pealing -that are being received daily
by the writer.
Fifty-five patients are in residence
in the Muskoka Free Hospital to -day.
Seven hundred and thirty-eight have
been cared for since the hospital was
opened in April, 1002.
In place of fifty we could care for
one hundred if the needed money for
maintenance was at the disposal of the
trustees.
Perhaps some of your readers have
seen the -following earnest statement
in Dr. Lawrence F. Flick's valuable
book, "Consumption, a Preventable
and Curable Disease";--" Could the
coneutilptives of any given community
