TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTIVES.
TRIBUTE TO THE CAMBRIDGE
SANATORIUM
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN" CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Tuesday. This morning, at a meeting of the Wellington Hospital Trustees, the chairman (the Hon. C. M. Luke) spoke enthusiastically about a recent visit to the Cambridge Sanatorium for Consumptives. He said that it was a very fine institution, but was not nearly large enough. The treatment was on the lines adopted in Wellington, and there were now between 70 and 80 patients. Some sufferers who had been unable to obtain accommodation in the ordinary way were living in their own tents, and were on a. par with other patients in the matter of food and attendance. What had struck him was the need of more institutions of that kind around the country. Mr. Luke mentioned that he had noticed two or three caws of very excellent recoveries. The speaker remarked that Dr. Roberts had complained about people sending cases beyond all hope of recovery. This was not lair to himself or the institution. It raised) the death rate and tended to hamper the good work of the sanatorium.
