New Tuberculosis sanatorium Hers Wl'l Provide Most Approved Methods.

Those who have travelled to Nor wien recently on the trolley cars. says the New London Day, editorially, could hardly have missed noticing the prog ress that is being made on the build 1ngs of the tuberculosis sanatoriun that the state Is erecting on the Post farm for the benefit of the sufferers from that dread disease in this coun- ty. The buildings have already ad- vanced well toward completion. and if Is evident that the institution will be ready to receive and treat patients at a comparatively early date.
 That sanatOrium will be of great advantage to New London. There are. unfortunately, a considerable number of sufferers from consumption in this city, and many of them cannot receive the care that they need at their homes To such the institution will be a great boon. It is located in an ideal place on high land, and the surroundinEs are just what is needed to assist the course of treatment that will be given in making a cure.
 Sufferers from the disease who go to the sanatorium are assured of having the most approved methods employed in their behalf, and in addition they will be near enough to their homes sc that their relatives can visit them ire quently without much expense. Not only are the patients to be bene- fted. but their removal from home where they are likely to. infect others is a very important feature in thf work which the state Is accomplish ing
 II the interest that is now shown ir the prevention and cure of tubercu- losIs had been manifested many years l ago great many lives that were neediessly wasted might have beer saved H
