Of sunshine. par excellence. and which
admits Of an existence out Of doors all
the year around. our government has
spent a large sum of money charging.
improving and beautifying this ma
tional sanitarium which embraces a
piece OF land thirteen and one-half
square miles.
The prevention and spread OF tuber-
culosis and its ultimate eradication
from the human race will surely be
solved at some future time. Mean
while. the only remedy known is the
climate cure. and eminent physicians,
aud among them the famous DR.. Os-
Ter, state hat the requirements for
a cure are a suitable climate, a pure
atmosphere. an equable temperature
not subject to rapid variations, and
maximum amount Of sunshine. A"
Given these factors. it makes but lit
lie difference where a oatient goes II
he encounters these requisites and
lives an out-of-door life.
All plans Of therapeutic treatment
for the cure Of tuberculosis. outside Of
the climatic treatment, have failed, so
that one must look to nature rather
than the laboratory for the arms with
which to fight and conquer this ter
rible enemy Of the human race. At
no distant day. however. | am con-
WINGED hat the laboratory will sur
prise the world with some specific
for tuberculosis. just as that en-
inent French savant. Or. Pasteur, has
conquered hydrophobia, smallpox and
diphtheria by his system of serum in
equation. Besides the ten physicians
located at this post. u government
has appointed three additional bright
young physicians with the sole object
Of studying tuberculosis in all its
phases. These young physicians, who

are the following: DR.. Francis H..
Redewell. who is in charge of the lab
oratory, and Or. Robert Jones and
DR.. George Cook.
The laboratory in its research work,
has the great advantage of Fort Bay
ards very large library and the great
medical library in the world-at
Washington. to which these three
young physicians have access.
They have also all the latest in
