Abstract

Four girls in dresses sit on the lawn at National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives in Denver, Colorado. Three girls are playing with toys, while one is sewing. The National Jewish Hospital (NJH) worked to prevent tuberculosis by accepting children who seemed susceptible to the disease, while offering good nutrition and plenty of fresh air to keep them healthy. The hospital was founded in 1899.
