Battles in Tenement Homes
WHEN SICKNESS CAUSES POVERTY.

Sickness is constant menace to the economic
independence of the lower grade wage earners.
The most obvious way. of course. to stop the
misery and restitution which it causes is to pre-
vent the sickness.
But until large preventive measures are
more universally brought to bear on the diseases
that break down the working efficiency of so
large a part of our population, there is need for
us to follow the example of the GOOD Samaritan
in relieving the suffering, binding up the wounds
and supplying to those who lie bruised and
broken by the waysde the means by which they
shall be restored to efficiency and health.
We must, therefore, secure for the needy sick
the best medical treatment either at home or in
hospitals, relieve their physical needs, give ap-
propriate after care and instruct in wise
hygienic methods to prevent recurrence of the
illness
"Will you call to-day on family living at No
- East - Street? The father is seriously
i'll and the family is in need of food
This was one of the calls for help that came to
us last January.
When the nurse first called the man was suf-
fering from illness that could not effectively
be treated in the home.
He had worked steadily at his job until pain
and weakness compelled him to stop.
He was persuaded to enter hospital where
he remained for six weeks treatment
The mother, too. was dangerously near com
plete physical breakdown through worry and
overwork to provide for the family during her
husbands illness.
she ana the Cnlldren were. therefore, sent
away to the country for three weeks of rest and
recuperation.
On their return weekly sum was given to the
family and this was continued until the father
was able, without danger to return to his work.
During the past year the Bureau spent S30,-
1888 in providing relief for l.552 families
where sickness had temporarily incapacitated
the breadwinner.
This, however, does not represent the sum
total of the Associations expense and effort in
restitution which follow in its wake.
In addition we gave assistance in 367 other
homes where tuberculosis was the obvious cause
of dependency.
Visitors and nurses must constantly go into
these homes, directing suspected cases regularly
to attend the city's tuberculosis clinics. arrang
ing for the removal of incipient cases to sana-
toria and urging others in more advanced stages
to go to hospitals.
Often the afflicted one is the only chief
breadwinner of the family. and for time, at
least the care will equal that required to restore
widows families
During the past year the Bureau spent for
lief of this group of 367 families $l7,77l16, in
addition to caring for families in our Home
Hospital
Will you help us with your contribution to
restore the needy sick to health and self-support?
