exclude all eases that would not add 10 its record" On the contrary, it has always numbered among its patients several whose physical condition pre- cluded the probability of any perma- nent physical benefit. These patients have been received (when existing va cancies justified) not only in order that their lives might be heightened and rendered more comfortable, but chiefly for the purpose of teaching them and their families how to guard aganst spreading the disease to others.
 The sanatorium has received patients from every county in the state; it's only limitation (beyond that of physical condtion) being that no patient is re- eiyed whose circumstances are such as to enable him to avail himself of pri- yate institutions elsewhere. In the past year twenty-three patients, most of them favorable cases, left after a very short term because they could not get the needed seven dollars week to pay for their treatment. In fact there have been very few who have been able to take the full term of six months al- lowed except through serious sacrifice on the part of those at home.
 lover the doors of the wards in hos pitals for consumptives, twenty-five years ago might well have been writ ten these words: All hope abandon you who enter here;;" while to-day in the light of our new knowledge, we may justly place at the entrance of the modern sanatorium the more hopeful inscription, "Cure often, relief usually, comfort always"
 The results of the two years exist ence of the Wallingford sanatorium fully justify this statement of the greatest of living workers in the battle that controls tuberculosis, pr. E. L. Trudeau The sanatorium has re- celved, all together, one hundred and eightyfour patients, representing every county in the state. Of those dis charged, fifty-nine p eroent have re- turned to active, useful life, while twentythree per cent. more have been greatly improved.
 It has sent away one hudred and for ty-six people who took with them the knowledge of how to prevent thespread of this disease and the incentive to i'm part this knowledge to others, It has demonstrated to hundreds of interested visitors among the friends and families of the patients, the practicability and the benefit of a healthy mode of life, and the power of air, sunshine and rest to cure and prevent disease.
 It has shown that sufferers from tu- berculosis need not be sent far from home, but can be cured here in heir own state. It's work has been done in the aid of those for whom there was, otherwise, no relief as they had not the means to afford long journeys or the rates of private institutions. It's pa tients have mostly come from active walks of life, in which the income they earned was not sufficient to enable them to be prepared for long term of idleness. In fact though the rates to all are but seven dollars week Give dollars below the costaof maintenance), over one third were enabled to come only through the aid of churches, soci- cities or individuals interested in their cases. cone out of every six patients admitted left after very short stay because of lack of any means of secur- ing them the needed funds.
 The results to date have proven three things;
 dst. That there is a great need of such an institution in our midst.
 2d. That the one at Wallingford is accomplishing the results for which it was organized.
 Sd. That the work is worthy of the heartest support from the people of the state
