 The New Haven County Anti.Tuber- culOsis association has just issued it's first annual report, which was present. ed at the annual meeting of the associ- ation held at Gaylord Farm sanatori- mu.
 The conditions and progress at the Gaylord Farm are best indicated in the report of the medical superintendent at the sanatorium, Dr. David R. Ly- man. During the year ending May 1, 1905. forty-four patients were treated. These are divided into two classes, those who remained less than two months and those who remained two months and more.
 The patients were in four stages, in- cipient, moderately advanced, far ad- vanced, and acute military tuberculosis.
 Dr. Francis Bacon of this city, presi- dent of the association. in his report calls attention to the beauty of loca- tion and the healthful environment of the Gaylord Farm. He announced that through the judicious generosity of MT. g.. W. Hart a barrack of the most approved plan to accommodate eight patients, and likely, it s hoped, to be both a model and stimulus to further gifts of that kind, will soon be buila.
 Professor Irving Fisher recording secretary, reviewed the work of tho year and make special mention O. the exhibition on tuberculosis and tenc- ments held in this city last April, which was attended by about seventy five hundred persons. The association has co-operated with the New Haven committee on tenements in bringing about the passage of a law preventing the erection of unsanitary tenements. The association has a membership of 32T.
 The executive committees report presented by the chairman, Dr. J. P. c. Foster, notes with pride the liberal do- nations which have made progress so certain; The sum of seventy-five thou sand dollars has been donated. The legislature appropriated twenty-five thousand dollars and has now voted an appropriation of five thousand dollars a year for the two ensuing years.
 Applications for admission are com ing very rapidly and more room is needed. The farm also, as well as the sanatorium, has many needs.

Forster has been engaged as medical assistant at the sanatorium for one year, beginning August 1. New Haven is represented in the sanatorium by thirty patients.
