Label TextThis fundraising sign encouraged Londoners to donate money for the city’s Beck Sanatorium. There, patients suffering from tuberculosis received treatment. Tuberculosis had become a pressing public health issue by the early 20th century. In 1900, it killed 227 urban Ontarians out of 100,000. Public health nurses’ instructions about nutrition and personal hygiene helped reduce the incidence of the disease.
