Abstract:

I can advocate nothing so much as inter-municipal co-operation in the establishment of sanatoria. The establishment of sanatoria all over the country means a greater helpfulness on the part of the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives. If it is possible to effect a cure by a sanatorium near the home of the patients that is where they should first of all be sent. We must stop the indiscriminate sending of consumptives to Colorado, and we can do it only through the co-operation of Sanatoria and of the charities of the land.
