There was absolutely no cause for alarm as . to the infections nature of the | discase and its spreading to the hospital. He referred to the arguments that may be advanced that it was the duty of the Gezernment or County _ Council _ to look after consumptive cases, . which ’was correct, but im the meantime it ! was necessary for the municipalities ‘to act and act immediately.

Hospital Board and a pumber uf leading citizens. The need of the iminediate erection of a sanitorium for the accommodation of indigent patiâ€" cnts was made apparent by represenâ€" latives of the Antiâ€"Consumptive Leaâ€" gue, who cited instances that â€" were simply appalling to those present. The proposition in brief was the crection of a plain building costing about $1,000, capable of accommoda~ ting about 10 patients, on theâ€"B. & W. Hospital grounds, to be under the supervision of the Hospital authoriâ€" ties and maintained entirely by the Berlin Board of Health, with the asâ€" sistance of the Government _ grant, which amounts to $1.50 per week per patient.

Alterations and Mr. E. P. Clement, K.C., stated that as a member of the | MHospital Board he was willing that the buildâ€" ing be erected on the grounds on the assurance that there was no danger of the infectious germs spreading to the general Hospital. It was a matâ€" ter that the Council should not heBiâ€" tate to deal with, but if it should teâ€" fuse hbe was satisfied that the cost of the building could be raised _ by private subscription in a day and he would go down for oneâ€"tenth of the cost. Dr. Minchin said the need of a hosâ€" pital for consumptives was _ urgent, as the discase m‘causing mote deaths than all the ofhier diseases toâ€" gether. The proposed _ institution should be maintained exclusively by the Board of Hcalth. Mr. C. A. Abrens was informed by Dr. Bowlby that the sanitoriumn in Hamilton was managed by the Antiâ€" Consumptive League. Preston.â€"Labout was well employâ€" ed during the month, though the supâ€" ply was equal to the demand.

Building permits were . issued in 1908 as follows:â€" 93 Residences valued at $139,500 1 Business block .. 9,000 Repairs and alterations .. ... 9,000 Mr. J. B. Hughes was thoroughly ‘n sympathy with the proposition. In his opinion the consumptive was the most unfortunate being in this counâ€" try and bis condition was equal to that of a leper. The question must not be allowed to end in taik but must be handied inteiligently. He had no objection to the building being erâ€" ected on the hospital grounds, but the Trustees would be cautions before lir. ltobt.. Smyth referred _ to a ri.ly where the mother, two daughâ€" L.rs and two sons were victims _ of the discase, and something must be done t prevent its spread. 30 In reply to a question by Mr. E. I1‘. Clement, Dr. J. F. Honsberger stated that in 1907 _ there were _ . deaths out of 143 caused by tuberculâ€" osis, last year â€" there â€" were _ ten, and from present indications there will be a larger number _ this year. He referred to victims in Berâ€" lin at present who are being shipped from ene place to another. ‘They canâ€" not be admitted to the Hospital, or the House of Refuge and in some inâ€" stances are turned out of their own homes. He referred to the fact that while patients sent _ to Gravenkurst are treated courtcously they are not given the medical altention that | inâ€" cipient cases should _ receive. __ Dr. Honsberger cited several cascs and referred toâ€"the Erdman family in the South Ward. The man of the house has lost two wives and four children by consumption and two others are afflicted with the disease. . 1s is unâ€" able to find a place where they can be attended to and is compelled to reâ€" main at home and perform the houseâ€" hold duties. â€" There was another case ef a young man, 18 years of â€" age, whose brother and sister died of the discase and be is also afflicted with it. HMe has tricd to gain admittance to every known institution but there is no room for him. He has . also been sent away from his home and is compelled to sleep on the floor _ of sample rooms in hotels and other unâ€" desirable places. The doctor pointed out that the death rate of consumpâ€" tive cases was over 10 per _ cent. while from smallâ€"pox it was less than 1 per cent., and referred to > preâ€" cautions that are taken to â€" prevent the spread of the latter discase. _A bospital for consumptives in Berlin is â€" far more â€" urgent at this time than an isolation hospital. He pointed out that if a sanitorivm should be erect=d by the county in a few ,years the vuilding proposed could be purchas «d sy the Mospital Board and Us* o>s convalescent rooIr2, WWaterlo Pactory Utnrations antore Residence Dr. J.
