SHALL We BUILD HOSPITALS?
Bf,rSs Being Mads in tn, E,st to Stamp
Out Consumption by I'olation.
THE DISEASE REGARDED As INFECTIOUS
Special Hospitals for the Trcat-
mcnt OF Consumptive Patients.

II is now generally understood among ply
sicians, who have carefully studied the sub
ject that consumption is an infectious dis
ease. So general is this belief even among
laymen that hospitals for the treatment Of
consumption are being built IN various cities
throughout the United States, with the idea
OF isolating the patients. The state ot
Michigan has already inaugurated a cam
paign against consumption. Hospitals. to
cost hundreds of thousands OF dollars, are
being erected in New York and Pennsyl-
vana; and public sentiment seems. at last.
to have awakened to the necessity OF doing
something to stem the tide of this terrible
scourge of the human race.
But despite mans noblest efforts the
frightful mortality stl continues. Scientists
estimate that there are In this country over
three hundred thousand cases of consump-
tion. What an army of wretched beings,
daily dragging out miserable existence!
Statistics show that the annual death rate
among these cases is more than fifty per
cent. What an unnecessary tribute to death!
Right here In the state of Nebraska, out OF
a total yearly death rate OF eight thousand
four hundred and forty-fve over twenty five
per cent, or to be exact, two thousand nine
hundred and ninety-one, were caused by
consumption and pulmonary diseases. In our
own city of Omaha. in an annual death rate
of one thousand three hundred and ninety
seven, there were three hundred and sixty
seven deaths from consumption and other
lung troubles. This is a sad fact: but
worse lndn all is tne truth that such deaths
were largely unnecessary and could have
been prevented. Scientists have discovered
the cause of consumption-the tuberculosis
germ which produces It, Their investiga-
items have also found cure for the disease
In Ozone and Guaiacol; the greatest life
giving, germ destroying agents in nature.
These two products have been combined with
Cod Liver Oil in a scientific preparation
| called Ozomulsion. This remedy cures con-
| sumption and all lung troubles. 1t does this
| because it reaches the seat of the disorder
| and destroys the poisonous germs which
| cause the disease. The Ozone and Guaiacol
| do this. No other remedy contains these
| Ingredients. The Cod Liver Oil supplies the
| nutrition necessary in all wasting diseases.
| That is ali 1t does, but 1t does this well.
| 1t is the prince of fat makers and tissue
builders, but 1t does not kill the germs.
| 1t simply alevates and enables nature to
| struggle on a few years longer.
| Building hospitals is a worthy charity
worthy from instincts of humanity-worthy
! from reasons of sanitary safety. Unfortu-
nately all sufferers cannot have the benefits
| of hospital treatment; but every one can
| enjoy the benefits of Ozomulsion. II cures
people at their homes. 1t brings the ozone
of the ocean and the balsamis odor of the
| piny woods to their bedside 1t is the great
| est germ destroyer the most potent healer
| the most marvellous flesh producer in nature
| 1t can be had here in your city of Messrs
| Kuhn & Co., who will tell you all about its
wonderful properties and the good it is
doing among the sick and afflicted in Omaha.
