DR.. PETIT TELLS
GRUNDY SOLONS ON
SANITORIUM NEEDS

Members of the board of supervi-
sors OF Grundy county yesterday after
noon received expert advice on the
needs of the county for place to care
for Its tuberculosis patients, says the
Morris Herald.
DR.. Petit, of Ottawa, recognized as
a national authority on the cure and
care of white plague victims urged
on the board the need of hospital
for tuberculosis patients.
iIc declared that the hospital would
pay for itself in eliminating the need
of caring for tubercular persons thru
the county poor agent, and that it
would pay for itself in future genera
tions by having helped stamp out the
great white plague
I'VE can get rid Of tuberculosis in
this generation If we go about it
right" DR.. Petit told the board
He advised the erection of a tuber-
culosis pavilion on the grounds of the
Morris hospital.
"You have ample room there he
explained" and such an institution
under the management of the present
hospital but in a separate building
would not increase the overhead cost
of running the hospital single dol
lar
There is not the slightest danger
of handling tuberculosis patients
there There would be no danger in
handling them in the same building
provided they were in room by
themselves. They cannot be handled
in connection with other cases III a
single ward.
II am proving my sincerity In this
by erecting a general hospital on the
grounds of my tuberculosis hospital
in La Sale county | can operate that
hospital without increasing the over
head expense of my tuberculosis hos
pital, and without risk to the patients
in the general hospital
You men should realize that some
thing must be done Now is the time
to do it"
