contributed for pavilion, and Mr.. LIuveras Mr.
q Giorgeti and the Fajario Sugar Co, every one of
which paid for pevion These structures cost some
thing between two thousand and twenty-five hundred
dollars and contain four separate with two nd
vdual beds in each and as there is plenty ground for
many more pavsons and they certainly are badly
needed here is chance for rich people show their
love for their feoW-bengs, and send contributions
u AS soon possible the patients that are now being
cared for at the cud,cncndri0 in the Marina, will be
transferred to the sanatoroum, which, as stated
will be modern and model institution in every way
and the people can be sure that those unfortunate vic
TINS of the white plague who may go there DO cured
will be attended with the love and which have
big hearted man like Dr. Ruiz Soler and those under
his direction We proud to hear this PortosRican
making plans for the care, comfort and recreation of
his future pity deserving patients. Nothing will be omit
ted to make the place as attractive possible for the
mates: beautiful green lawns, flowers, fruit trees
horses and carriage for short rides library, hall for
music and for cinematographc projections everything
in fine to furnish the sick population with moderate
else and TecreatiOn calculated to make them feel at
home, happy, and to them, if that is possible for
science to do. FL
But, reader money is needed for all that; remember
that every over two thousand persons die of uber
cuOsis in Porto Rico Tt is the intention of Dr. Ruiz q
Soler to house eventually thousand patients in the
new SdnGt0riO Insuldr The Legislature we under
stand by what heard from the Commissioner ought
to contribute with at least hundred thousand dol
lars this year. in order to have everything in working
order before many months
Private contributions from well-to-dO people
should also come in; remember the uncertainty of life
and don't forget that this treacherous disease attacks
any rich poor The rich will be cured at the new
hospital just well they would be any other place
III the world, and therefore mOneyed people should
be interested in this institution We have MANY
rich persons who could send their contributions in now
and for those who cant read this language we shall
nave something to say, in Spanish, in of next
issues.
