THE CITIZENS HOSPITAL.

Hundreds OF Casee, but Only Two Deaths.
The Citizens Hospital, on 18th street next
to the Capital Bicycle Club building has been
doing noble work during the encampment, and
the value Of its service can hardly be estimated
Dr. Hamilton E. Leach, the surgeon in charge,
has been aided by large staff Of
physicians Of the city-the list Of whom
has already been printed in The STAR
who have at great personal sacrifice to
their own practice and comfort given
their time and skill to the work Of relieving the
distress of those who might be so unfortunate
as to need their attention. Several hundred
patients have been treated and SO numerous
have been the calls that the erection Of four
tents upon the White Lot OPP este has been
necessary.
Almost every few minutes Of the day or night
the sound OF the ambulance gong has been
neard since the city began to fill up with stran-
gers, and yet DR.. Leach, in talking with a STAB
man about the matter, says in all bis experience
In Witnessing hospital work in this and
European countries he has never
known Of greater success in promptly attend
ing to the sick and injured. Everything has
been employed. Some one is ever ready to
answer telephone calls and an ambulance
always stands ready to respond to the demands
for Its service
In all the number of patients treated would
amount to several hundred. There have been
only TWO deaths. One of these was from in
nammanon OF the stomach, the victim being
ABRAHAM Hapner, who came with one of the
Ohio organizations, though not himself a sol
der. He was ffty-siI years OF age.
Tho other death was that of Michael
Guethemann, Hfty-one years Of age.

Ing and In some way was injured by comrades
falling upon him and SO badly hurt that peri
tonitis and hernia resulted. His case
was hopeless when brought in. Edward
Aoeke, brother Of the furniture dealer
on Market space, whose arm was crushed by a
cable car and amputated at the hispital, still
lies there and receives all possible attention.
The cases. too, Of the woman whose arm
was lacerated by the wadding from
cannon fired on the White Lot and
the policeman wounded by the same accident
were the next most serious, though three
patients whose fingers or thumbs have been
necessarily amputated are recorded

suit OF the work of the citizens hospital. One

sents an abnormal growth that protrudes from

that it be done.
