days since showed the institution to be
IN admirable running order throughout,
nearly filled with patients in the vari-
Gus stages Of disease or cOnvale8cence,
ana the doctor ard his assistants with
their hands full of business. The build
ing, since the completion of the new
portion, has been fitted up with all the
modern appliances for the comfort and
convenience of inmates-heated by
steam, and each room supplied with hot
and cold water, gas, etc, while eleetrlci-
ty Is also carried into every room. The
most perfect order prevails, and the pa

the treatment they are undergoing is all
