Dr.. j. G.. Lamont, superintendent of
the tuberculosis sanitarium at Dun
seth. holds that institutional treat
mcnt is better than home treatment
for tuberculosis, and the extent of
the Institutions scope of activities
should be limited only by what the

spend in caring for tuberculosis pa
tients and stamping out the disease.
A fund was raised of about $4,000
in 1928 by the tuberculosis seal sale
