lDr. Pond.

From week to week we have men
toned the progress upon DR.. Ponds
Cancer IipSpittl-the new additions
which gives him the capacity To accom-.
mediate three hundred patientS-and il
l. perhaps unnecessary to enter into de
tails rs To the dimensions and charac-
Ter of the building or its appointments.
The doctor has been with us three wears
ar more. and almost every month of
this time we have been called upon to
personally note his treatment of can
| GERS. and the wonderful success at
tending his laborS: we have ALWAYS
been careful. while expressing our can
did and honest opinion. Ia give plenti-
ful opportunity for those disposed To
question our statements to compare
notes by referring them to scores of
persons who have passed through the
TRYING ordeal and were but too glad to
render their testimony in reference to
DR.. Ponds skill: and to-day We only
desire To mention the fact that the
newly arranged and retitted Cancer
Hospital in the city. the largest and
most complete and successful in the
[ nited States. is now in full working
order, with ample accommodations for
three hundred patients.
The building we have repeatedly SpO-
ken of, and need only add that it is fit
ted up throughout with all the modern
improvements. heated by steam, sup
pied with gas. and all the water and
other convenlencleS of a tirSt-claSS pri-
waite residence. In the basement are
two Kitchens, connecting with separate
dining rooms. owing TO the great eX-
tent of the institution: three 500-bar-
rel ciSternS in the basement. and an
other in the roof of the fourth story
supply an abundance of water for all
purposes. and every detail is carefully
supplied upon an equally liberal scale.
The electrical apparatus is in charge
of DIR. \. S%paulding connecting with
every room IN the building. and DR..
Spaulding devOteS his entire time To the
cure of patients here. DR.. f. II. Gale
is also a constant attendant. and both
of these Skilltul and we'll known phvSi-
clans find their hands full of business.
There Were last week in the hospital
II hundred patients. among whom we
NAV mention Il few cases as follows:
VIM. Noise. of West salisbury, Yer
mont, has an immense cancer in the left
groin. and the most noted Eastern ply
SicianS had pronounced his case entire
ly hopeleSS-yet ii is precisely the same
rs that of Thomas Pennman, of York
Vile, which was successfully treated bv
DR.. Pond three Years since when located

entirely well To day. and in a few weeks
We hope Ia see Mr.. Noise start for his
home compile, ely cured.
