The most ordinary acquaintance with tutwri'ulo*ds must convince that a com bination hospital, such as Is proposed, would never succeed.

Sanatorium Is supposed to mean a place of heating. It Is one which un dertakes to restore health; Its doors open with ho|ie for the sick; It Is for the saving of life—not a place for sim ply housing until death shall claim. When this tuberculosis movement was first launched It appeared that Georgia was to have what New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is land. Iowa, Pennsylvania. Colorado. Virginia- North Carolina and how many of the other states we do not know have In successful operation—sanatoria where those suffering from tubercular trouble can go and be healed.

If the proposed sanatorium la to bo solely for charity, then the poor, as always—heaven help us!—must take what they can get. But—the disease Is confined to no class. The fatal germ Is as likely to find lodgment In the lung of tbs rich man as that of the poorest laborer; and unless the same precautions are ob served by both the result must be Iden tically the some—each will deal out the fatal bacilli wherever his path may take him. With a sanatorium for the poot only —the charity consumptives and the In curables—then what are we going to do for the many who could and would pay, and who would be saved to the state snd to humanity, those who would be restored to health and their place of usefulness tn the body politic, and whose money value has bsen estimated tn these columns?
