An advance copy OF the unpublished
report recently submitted to the legis-
lature by the board of trustees of the

results are being obtained by the prop
er treatment of consumption in that
state. Out of Il total Of ia patients
who had incipient consumption when
they entered This institution ninety-Six.

as apparently recovered upon their
discharge after a residence Of about six
months. All told. JOG patients recov-
cred as, far as could he determined. and
forty-tlree had their disease arrested,
while only thirteen OF all the patients
treated showed no improvement. and
Of these twelve were suffering from
gravated form when they were admit
ted to the institution. These results
obtained in treating ia cases would
have been declared impossible not
many years ago. when consumption
was everywhere regarded as an in
durable disease. but they are results
that are certainly being accomplished
now in New York in a way that can
leave no real doubts in the minds of
even the most skeptical and conserva-
