UNwHoLEsOME HOSPITAL BUILDINGs.-The
first annual report of DR.. John NJ. Woodwork,
supervising surgeon of the marine hospital SER
vice, contains a condensed history of that service
from its creation by act Of Congress- in 1898. DIR.
W. recommends that all hos pital buildings be
hencefOrth constructed of wood instead of stone
brick. or iron, and that these wooden structures
be destroyed after having been in use ten or fif-
teen years. He advises this course, because
hospital buildings become in time impregnated
with poisonous exhalations, which, inspired by
erysipelas and cOgnate diseases. thus cOmplica-
ting the original ailment, and putting human
life in extra peril.
