Abstract

Chest x-rays of an unidentified patient at the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS). X-rays were taken to see how badly tuberculosis had progressed in patients. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish workingmen along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. The sanatorium was located on West Colfax Avenue just outside of Denver.
