F. M. JEFFERY. BY ARTHUR W. L. DUNN. “WOE BE TO HIM WHO ENTERS HERE.” This is the sign that should be blazoned in great letters over that part of the county hospital at George- town which is devoted to tubercular patients. A sentence to Georgetown is a sentence of death. ‘The patients know this. The nurses know it. People \don’t ever get well there There is but one good thing about the system—it kills men quickly. THEY DON’T DRAG OUT SO LONG AS THEY WOULD ANYWHERE ELSE. THE COUNTY IS RID OF THEM SOONER. TO GIVE CREDIT |WHERE CREDIT IS DUE, I’LL ADMIT THAT THE GEORGETOWN TREATMENT HAS THE ADVAN- TAGE OF BEING ECONOMICAL. The tubercular quarters at the hospital consist of two bungalows and two antiquated tents. They are located along the Duwamish river. The bungalows are about 100 feet from the river. The tents overhang the river bank. Everyone in Seattle knows what this means. The Duwamish is a back water stream. _ The tide rises and falls, now leaving the bank bare, now filling up as a ' great river to the very threshold of the tents. The sewage and dirt and refuse of the tide is brought up to the very doors of the tuberculosis suf- ferers. It is deposited under the tent to rot and dry ‘and send a stench that reaches to heaven. At night the river damp comes—and the fogs that ' choke and chill these sufferers who gasp for breath. The dampness of the air invades the flimsy tents and bungalows, through great open windows and flaring canvas doors. OFTEN THE CLOTHING AND BEDS OF THE a, SUFFERERS ARE MOIST WITH THIS NIGHT FOG. L. DUNN It was the They 9g and They were chosen to Tre cou die is the victim of tuberculosis and all those at Georgetown game—and knows it tent learned to call it m.

This is not all—perhaps not even the worst. The sewage pipes from the hospital run under the ground about 100 feet from the bungalows and DIRECTLY UNDER THE TENTS. All the vile, foul refuse of the big hospital is dumped directly under the dwelling places of these men who need every help from nature to have any chance to survive. Five great pipes extend from the bank. At high tide they are submerged, so that the refuse floats and whirls and eddies around the tents. At low tide it col- lects on the ground with an unbearable stench. | SUPT. CORSON MAY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LAYING OUT OF THE HOSPITAL GROUNDS. UNLESS ONE THINKS THAT A PHY- ;SICIAN WHO KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING CONDITIONS FOR TUBERCULAR PA. TIENTS SHOULD MAKE IT HIS DUTY TO THUN. DER A DAILY PROTEST THAT SHOULD REACH EVERY PART OF SEATTLE BEFORE HE WOULD ALLOW SUCH INTOLERABLE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CONDITIONS, EX- CEPT THAT THEY ARE PAID BY THE COUNTY | TO ATTEND TO THESE THINGS.
