In its biennial report jus t submit

health emphasizes the necessity for
the immediate construction of a state

! Of the 100000 inhabitants of Hi
nois. the report estimates that over
| 100000 are doomed to die of some
form of consumption unless steps are
taken TO stop the ravages of the dis
ease. The report continues:
Tuberculosis is an infectious dis
ease. and causes one-seventh of all
deaths. Over $500 persons die from
it annually in Illinois. While there is
no disease that causes so much disaS-
ter in the human family, there is none
more easily prevented. Patients suf-
fering from tuberculosis cannot be
properly cared for at their homes
general hospitals are i'll adapted for
their treatment. and since tuberculo-
sis has been recognized as communi-
cable disease. the doors of nearly all

been closed to them. The treatment
of consumptives requires segregation
in properly constructed hospitals.
The Importance of special climate,
altitude and atmosphere in the treat
ment of cOnsumptives has been great
~ overestimated. The treatment and
cure of consumption is as feasible in
Illinois as in any other state. and
cures effected in the home climate
are more lasting than cures in other
climates"
The board points out that it is i'm
practicable for city or county to
maintain hospital for consumptives,
and insists that it is the states duty
TO establish such an institution. and
thereby save the lives of thousands
of its citizens

We were glad to see them, because
