young city, it is already the seat of a
number of medical universities o. national
reputation. as well as of a medical Journal
which is regarded by the profession
throughout America as a valuable feature
of the current literature Of medicine. A
Chicago physician, DR.. Robert Hunter,
who is probably the best living American
authority in the treatment of diseases Of
the lungs, has developed a plan for a
hospital for lung diseases, which, when
carried out, as it will in all probability be,
at no distant day, will provide an artificial
climate, here on the bleak shores of Lake
Michigan, with the perpetual temperature
and sunlight of Florida The plan is en-

will undoubtedly push it to completion
and furnish the city with the largest anc
most important charity which civilization
has yet founded on the American continent
