The Maine General Hospital


A patient in the Maine General Hospital
writes to the Bangor Wing the following sensi-
bic letter:
1 was much grataed to see in your issue of
March 18th the communication of 'H' in re-
gard to the Maine General Hospital. As | am
at present enjoying the benefits of this institu-
ton, can appreciate better than ever did be-
fore the amount of good they are doing, and
also the difficulties under which they labor for
want of sufficient funds. l cannot speak too
highly of the comforts and advantages of
treatment here, especially those afflicted with
surgical diseases; and that, too, at a very tri-
fling expense compared with what one would
have to pay at home for doctors bills, nurses,
medicine, etc.
But what the institution needs most is larg-
er free bed fund, that more of the really poor
who can pay nothing for their board may be
able to receive its benefits. am told that the
number OF free patients is always largely in
excess OF the number of free beds endowed,
but even then many applicants have to be re-
fused for the want OF means to provide for
them
l understand that a movement has been
started here in Portland to endow ten addition
al free beds for one year at $3.50 each, aud that
i've have been pledged, provided the whole can
be secured. 1t seems to me that our city ought
to do something towards this good work,-ce
tainly sufficient to endow one bed could be very
easily obtained if the effort was made.
To correct an impression prevailing in some
quarters that the benefit of the hospital is con-
tined to the vicinity of Portland, let me state
that OF the q patients at present under treat
ment here, 1 is from Aroostook county, from
Piscataquis, from Kennebec, from WASH
lDgton, 1 from Lincoln, from York, from
Penobscot, Il from Veasie, who, by the way,
is receiving free treatment though there was no
free bed vacant when be was admitted. and
myself from Bangor,) from Cumberland and
from Massachusetts,. Its benefits are extend
ed to all parts of the state, and the whole state
ought to contribute literally to its support.

Three years since was very much reduced
with dreadful cough, which resulted in Bron-
chits, affecting me so severely as to render it
difficult to speak in an audible voice. To this
was added severe night sweats, and was fear
full of going into a decline. After recourse to
various remedies, to no purpose, l made use of
DIR. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY, a
few bottles of which fully restored me to
health. Since that time l have had several
attacks of cough, but the BALsAM has always
removed them. l always keep it by me, and
should not know how to do without it,
