Abstract

Two male patients lie in bed at the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS). A nurse checks the pulse of one of the patients while an unidentified man stands next to one of the beds. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish working men along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. It was located on West Colfax Avenue just outside of Denver.

Dates: between 1907-1920
