Description
Patients lay in beds pushed out on the porches of the New York Building of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society for sun heliotherapy treatment for tuberculosis. 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.
