APPEAL FOR SICK BOY.
Help for tuberculosis Victim Asked
by Associated Charities.

conSumptive case under sanitarium
treatment is the subject of a special
statement issued by the Associated Chart
ties. The statement is as follows
A young white man in the first stages
of tuberculosis is In need of sanitarium
care. The father and mother of this
young man died of tuberculosis. If money
can be raised. this young mans life can
be saved. The story OF this boys life,
for he is only boy. is one of pathos and
sorrow. When he was only a lad sick
ness at home necessitated his going
forth as the bread winner. He toied all
day as a messenger boy and at night
went to school From a messenger boy
he rose step by step until finally he oc-
cupied Ole of the highest positions that
the office in which he labOred could give
him.
During these years he saw his brother,
for whom he had made such sacrifices
succumb to tuberculosis and die. No
brothers sickness cleared Off than his
father became victim of the dread dis
ease and died. A few months after this
his mother, who had been the faithful
nurse to son and husband. died of quick
consumption. and now after years OF
faithful service. the breadwinner and sup
port Of the family Is in danger. Through
the generosity of some friends medical
treatment has been afforded and the ply
stefan now reports that the progress has
been most gratifying. Unless funds are
secured it will be necessary for the pa
tient to leave the sanitarium next week
and go back to work. The doctors say
that such step would result disas-
trously.
Any contributions for this particular
case should be sent to the Golden Book
Fund for the messenger boy" Such con-
tributions will be used to pay for his
sanitarium treatment and for nothing
else.
