was formerly partner OF Andrew Car

81, 800, 900 for the establishment of
great hospital for the study, treatment
and prevention of tuberculosis in all its
stages. He desires to locate his insti-
tute in the center of Philadelphia, where

patients and expert physicians. In this
connection he has encountered an un-
looked for difficulty in State law pass
ed in 1899, which prohibits the erection
of hospitals in the built-up portions of

placed Instructions in the way of the
gift of the late Christopher Magee of
hospital to the city Of Pittsburg. but a
way was found to obviate the difficulty

gether likely that an effort will be made

hibIt the building or institutions to
which there is little objection on the
