Such cruel times seem long past. and we are grateful for itâ€"but is Herod dead. or does he live again in the indifference of some, which permits consumption still to claim many innocent child- renrfor its own? Children, especially those of tenâ€" der years, are particularly suscept- ible to consumption. It is a disease from which, unaided. they seldom can recover, but given help such as the Queen Mary Hospital affords, their chances are increased ninefold.
