Trudeau Sanitarium, Hachette. Pierrot (having shoe put on) is being greatly benefitted by the life here, but his father is so homesick for him that he has sent to have Pierre sent back to him. Mother died of tuberculosis. Pierre, who is sitting on the edge of the sand box, loves the life at Trudeau Sanitarium, but since his mother died of tuberculosis his father misses him so much he has sent for Pierre to come home. Picture taken at Trudeau Sanitorium, Hachette, near Paris. The manor house of Hachette is an AMERICAN RED CROSS hospital for tubercular women. In the grounds nearby barracks have been built where about 180 children are housed, each for a period of three months or more. They are under-nourished children of tubercular tendencies, many of whom have tubercular parents. They are brought from bad living conditions in the cities and the good nourishment and outdoor life at Hachette go far to establish their health permanently
