were patiently and carefully shown
through every department OF the seyeTa
establishments, by the efficient resident
physician, DR. MoGreary, and his assist

We were also Cratined To see that DR.
: McCreary has utilized the loft or garret o
? the hospital by putting heater pipes ii
coil to heat the garret, aud making plac
for drying clothes IN wet or rough weathe
without expense to the county, and als
suggesting the propTiety of compoundinl
drugs in larger quantities for the use o
Z the hospital, which would be a great saw
ing TO the county.
We heartily endorse the recommeuda
