offensive or dangerous about the dis
play. The exhibit Is Intended chiefly
for well people, who have the caro- OF
consumptives, or who, through the

daily danger of taking the disease
from those about them.
Contrary to somewhat amusing ru-
NOR which has got about among some
people who do not understand the ma
ture and purpose of tho exhibit. there
will be no live consunptives" there
nor in fact. will there be any more
reason for supposing that one can take
the disease while viewing the exhibit
than while shopping or walking on
crowded streets.
Much Interest Taken.
Indications OF widespread public In
terest In the exhibit as we'll as in
the work of the two dispensaries es-
tablislIed by the Board Of Health, are
to be found on every hand. and the
attendance both on the lectures and Oh
the exhibit will no doubt break all
former records.
