THE FREE HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTIVES
AN URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP.
To Tai: EDITOR.
Dear Sir,—I take the liberty of soliciting your aid in raising funds for
'the maintenance of the Free Hospital for Consumptives. On account of
our need, we find it necessary to make an. urgent appeal to the public.
•
Permit me to state that the sum of $150,000 has already been invested
in the two Gravenhurst institutions and property just outside of Toronto on,
which to erect a home for advanced or incurable cases of consumption. The
maintenance of the existing institutions necessitates an expenditure of over
$50,000 per annum, and to -day there is a debt of $73,000, in the form of
an overdraft, for which the Bank demands settlement, ar.d so we need
tho help of all.
Seven years ago, consumption was commonly believed to be incurable:.
The Toronto Mao, commenting editorially ou our proposition to erect
i
a consumptive sanatorium, said : `r The consumptive is under sentenee
of death." 1t was soon shown, however, by the cures effected in the
Muskoka Cottage Sanatorium, that a great field for useful work had been
opened. Dub the demand for increased accommodation, and the cry for help;
from those who could not afford to pay, became so urgent, that the trustee
decided to open a Second Bole, which was located Within a utile of the
parent institution. Since we first began our work "nearly eight hundred

number a large percentage have been completely cured, and Where
• so greatly improved that they were able to return to their regular work.
There is no other hospital for consumptives in Canada. The demands
are,therefore urgent. Ou.r board of trustees, who had already given freely
7 J
of their time and money, having faith that the people of Canada would coma
to their relief, and pressed by the urgency of the needs of the hospital,
incurred this debt which must now be provided for. We Have no endow-
ment, nor money with which to care for the large number of patients who,
are now in the hospital and not able to pay a single cent towards their
maintenance and treatment.
In Canada alone 8;000 die of this disease annually, and it has been
shown by experience and results of our work that the greater number of
these could be saved, if promptly treated. Ono hope—the only hope --is in
the philanthropy of our people and their knowledge of our needs, and we
appeal to you to help us to make these needs so known that all may bee
impelled to help. Do not let those who cannot give large amounts feel they
cannot help ; all gifts are helpful.
I am, yours faithfully,
Toronto. W. J. GAGE.
