CHRONIC CONSUMPTIVE.
ASK TO DO LIGHT WORK. Per Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Recently the inmates of the Otaki Sanatorium, who are regarded as chronic consumptives, applied for permission to (lo light work at the institution in return for some monetary consideration. The sanatorium authorities are not favorable to this suggesetion, which they regard as a matter for Government attention, since the sanatorium is not intended for chronic cases. They suggest the establishment by the Government of farm colonies, so that patients could be classified and ai) opportunity given them to carry out their desire to become a little more independent. The present system of treating chronic, cases is practically ineffective, and very costly, besides blocking accommodation which should be a.vailable for patients in the early stages of disease, aiyl the sanatorium officers urge Jie necessity of some other system of dealing with'eonsumptives who are i:i advanced stages. The Hospital Hoard to-day considered a report on these lines, and adopted it.
