of the treatment OF this disease by the
government and other reputable In.
stitut.ons will bear out It's truth.
According to Dr. Bigg's report the
loss in New York alone in expense. di.
re city or indirectly attributable to this
disease, is $4,000, 900 annually and to
the whole country $3.50 O00.O 900. Now,
II one-quarter Of this immense sum OF
money could be properly expended in
the arid west for the same purpose. II
would give four fold better results
than Is accomplished by the whole
1880 900 900 expended. as now. in the
low attitudes. and the country would
be relieved OF a large portion OF this
heavy burden. ! also note in the ar.
ticles of the Review of Reviews and
other popular magazines that great
numbers of private and public sanitari-
ufs for the care and treatment of this
disease are being founded in various
parts Of the United States, and that
millions OF dollars are being expended
In the erection OF these palatlal lnstl-
tutlons which, in the great majority Of
cases. only provides for the care of
fifty to three hundred patients, and
are so expensive that only the wealthy
Jew can be benefited by them. while
the average sufferer and the poor are
entirely excluded. The national col
ony and san!tarlum for consumptives
will charge reasonable sum for
those who are able to pay, less for
those less able. and provide free treat
ment for those unable to pay at ALL
All the money taken in from paying
patienis will go directly into the treas
ury Of the association for the benefit
OF those WHO are unable to pay, this
association being wholly benevolent
and philanthropic In its character.
None of its officers or promoters re.
ceive any compensation for their serv.
ices, and can in no way make any
profit out Of the institution.
The only salaries paid will be those
OF the superintendent, physicians. hur-
SEES and others actually employed in
the work. The charter absolutely pro-
hibits any debts, and the money must
be in the treasury to meet all expen-
SEES before they are incurred. hence
1t will be impossible for the institu-
ton to become encountered with debt
or fail. II is now a conceded point
| by all great authorities upon this sub
| iect. that climatic conditions such as
tive for the successful treatment and
cure OF this terrible scourge OF the
human race. also note that out door
tent life is highly recommended by
many able authorities. In this con.
nection | wish to say that have seen
nearly every part OF the United States,
much of Europe the West Indies, Can.
ada and Mexico and know OF no To-
cation anywhere in the world better
adapted TO out door or tent life than

comparative comfort. aud at least nine
months of the year very pleasantly
The only unpleasant time is part OF
the three sDrlng months-March. Apru
and May-during which time we have
more or less wind and dust. II is a
part of the plan of this association TO
supply tents by the thousands for thei:
out door patients at once. TO be fol-
lowed by substantial buildings, cot
tages. etc, as fast as funds will per.

the Hon. James r. Waddill, ex-con-
gresham of Missouri, and president of
the association, treat the subject most
extensively
