world Of good. So will the Sii.O0O fund
subscribed h. their stlnch friends, The
Evening World" readers.
This is the eleventh week of the sew
enth season, and more than 10000 visits
have neen made by the corps of physi-
clans. In this health campaign thou
sands of destitute children-unGer and
overgrown-have been saved from the
enemies that threatened their lives.
Those who were hungry were fed; the
ignorant and thoughtless were enlight-
ened on sanitary and hygienic matters;
the shameless little men and women
who came to town without any clothes
on were made comfortable and respect
able; 1,305 patients received free med-
cine; special favor was extended In
thirty-seven cases. and nearly 1000 tots
who felt very bad were prescribed for.
revisited and looked after until they
were better
Some died; they had been neglected so
long that all the physicians could do
was to make them comfortable: some
were taken to the hospital for special
service; whole battalions were sent down
the bay for blow: donations of con-
densed milk and bouillon capsules were
distributed to LIS ailing little ones; and
1t Is not an exaggeration to estimate
the number who have been put upon
their feet at, a round 5000.
