According to DR.. Bigg's report, the
loss in New York alone in expense. di,
rectly or indirectly attributable to this
disease, is $23, 900, 900 annually and to
the whole country 1880, 600, 900. Now,
if one-quarter of this immense sun of
money could be properly expended in
the arid west for the same purpose, it
would give four fold better results
than is accomplished by the whole
$3.50 600 900 expended, as now. in the
low attitudes, and the country would
be relieved of q large portion of this
heavy burden. / also note in the ar
t.cles 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 palatial insti-
tutions 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
few can be benefited by them, while
the average sufferer and the poor are
entirely excluded. The national col.

will charge a reasonable sun 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
patients 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, nur-
ses 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
it will be impossible for the institu-
ton to become encountered with debt

by all great authorities upon this sub

those existing here, are almost impera-

cure of this terrible scourge of the
human race. also note that out door

months of the year very pleasantly.
The only unpleasant time is a part Of
the three spring months-March, April
and May-during which time we have
more or less wind and dust. 1t is a
part of the plan of this association to
supply tents by the thousands for their
out door patients at once, to be fol-
lowed by substantial buildings, cot
tages, etc, as fast as funds will per-
