TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTIVES AT CAMBRIDGE.
! ; (To the Editor.! j Sir, —I am amused at the hysteric outj cry at Cambridge, and look in vain for a | reason. For years it has been the resort J for poor sufferers from consumption, who !have wandered about at will, without 'any special care being taken concerning j the only source of infection, namely, cxi pectoration. Have the townspeople sufifered in health or pocket? Why then is ! there such an agitation when a properly-* conducted "home" is to be established? .Is it the name they fear: The Christchurch people have not protested against their "consumptive camp." (I see by your paper that even the sneak thief approves of its bread.) Many Continental towns have established homes, and it is well known that there is a makeshift one close to us in Auckland. A lady is about to start it. I suppose the Council think they can easily settle her. and they certainly show no sympathy with suffering humanity. Awaiting developments.— I am. etc., " CONtsPANT READER.
