AN OPEN LETTER
From W. J. Gage, Esq., Toronto
A Problem of National Importance
Dear Friend :-
A bright young lawyer at the Muskoka Sanatorium for Consump-
tives some weeks ago, speaking of the burden placed upon him by hating
consumption, said :
"One bas to lead a life of concealment. If I go away from this place
people are afraid of mel"
This is the cad lot of those who suffer from this dread disease.
On behalf of the thousands who are sick and will not be received by
other hospitale, I make 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 us $28,000.
The Trustees have faith that a atilt larger number will help.
The Physician's offices, throat rooms, ere„ up to the present have
occupied rooms in the hospital that rightly belong to patients.
To make better provision for the work, and furnieb more accowmo.
dation, a new administration building is now under way. A cottage for
the Physician and his young wife heel also to be built.
To provide for this outlay, and to care for patients for the coming
year, we must secure at least $50,000.
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 was sick and ye visited me," was Christ's commendation.
Should not a richer benediction be yours if from a loving heart your
dollar makes a golden visit to this hospital, bringing health and joy to
those whom other people fear, and whom, in many cases, nobody waits.
Will you have the luxury of giving?
Faithfully yours,
Toronto, 1907.
