Large Audience Enjoyed Dr. King’s Lecture Thursday Evening.

. Dr. W. F. King was greeted by a large audience at thq Presbyterian church Thursday evening and field the closest attention of all in his discussion of tuberculosis. He explained the work of the state health department in its study of the disease and its treatment and by means of stereoptican views showed some of the discoveries, and showed how crowded living conditions, unsanitary living, excessive drinking, the eating of impure foods, etc., have contributed to the disease. He also showed the best known treatments, including the eating of pure foods, good meat, fresh milk, raw eggs, proper ventilation and lots of sunlight, having plenty of rest, have helped restore sufferers to health. Although Dr. King spoke for an hour and a half the audience did not tire and the lecture proved both interesting and instructive. Today he talked to the school children again and this afternoon to the township trustees. During the time he was talking to the large audience at the church his assistant, Frank W. Tucker, was taking care of the visitors at the health exhibit in the Williams block. The visit of these gentlemen to Rensselaer has been very interesting and should proved effective in much individual effort to guard against the germ creating faults of which many have hitherto been unconsciously guilty.
