Denmark is looking after the health
Of her people in real earnest. From
1900 to 1910 twelve public sanitariums
and twenty-five hospitals for tubercu-
lar patients we're established. These
are all supported more or less by the
government and are able to accommo-
date 1,766 patients. The government
has in all appropriated 1.410.757
crowns for the establishment and
maintenance of these institutions. No
less than $500 patients applied for
treatment, and Of these $500 were re-
ceived. In 1908 q tubercular station
was opened in Copenhagen which to
the end of 1910 examined 1920 per.
IONS and made $4,000 house visits.

from 800 to lis per cent In 1909 the
