One Of the new Milwaukee bouleyards
will pass through the grounds Of ST.
Mary's Hospital, between the buildings
and the lake. The hospital is mag
nlicently situated; and a visit to it's
several departments leaves the impress
sion that it is one Of Milwaukee's most
worthy institutions. The neatness, ven-
tilation and comforts of it's establish
ments, the attention and care afforded
patients and the completeness and ef-
6clency of the medical staff, are among
the well recognized merits Of St. Mary's
Hospital. It is doing a great and
good work, grateful 40 less to it's poor
patients than to the better of inYalids
who find its appointments and comforts
unequalled elsewhere. No eulogy Of
the Sisters Of Charity as benevolent
order will quite express the high appre-
citation their good works have created
