The First Patient

was admitted to to the hospital Nov. .,
1874 and, at the close of the wear ending
Sept. 80, 1875, one hundred and fourteen rep
reseniiug fourteen different counties, had
been accorded treatment there.
In 1873 the Legislature appropriated
$40 900 for continuing the work upon the
central building, which was completed and
open to occupancy iu 1916. Since then the
progress of the hospital has been contn-
uous, AMI the amount of good that it has
been able to accomplish simply inestim-
able. The economic gain, that comes
through growth and increased numbers, is
strlkingl, shown in the fact that while the
average weekly cost of Haintsining patients
in lS14-75 was Si7.il in 1892 it was but
sll.4. During the HOSPITALS first
year, as We have already noted,
it cared for li4 patients. In is92
the number who enjoyed its advan-
tages was 7tj, and the number that will re-
ceive treatment there during the present
wear will probably he not less than one
thousand.
Such growth of work, in less than two
decades. speaks volumes for the important
part this noble institution is playing in the
life of our State.
In 1884. through the all of generous
private subscriptions substantial brick
ampitheatre was constructed, and admirably
equipped for operating purposes. Soon
after the erection of this building a
training school for nurses vas established,
which has SINCE been in successful opera
ton. In 1889 work was begun upon the
southwest pavilion. which was completed,
and opened to occupancy in 1899.
The hospital now has, in its six wards.
about ll3 beds available for patients 4
seventh ward in the new pavilion is all fur
nished. and ready TO be opened when ad-
ditional nurses sre seeufed for it, This
will provide the hospital with accommoaa-
tions for about i4o patients. The most

OF q careful investigation made by

Not only are bills slowed away in

that the culture made of the notes

notes examined there 10000 germs
were found.

He let down the ladder, and in a

he said, "the biggest ever see"
The two men consulted, and final

snakes, Mr.. Burns. AS soon as they
told him he knew that his anacon-
da had been found. He went down
the ladder, and there, sure enough,
was his anaconda frozen hard in the
mud. He dug it out and brought its
stiff body to the surface. 1t was
about II feet long with head
about four inches long. Its body
was much swollen, being nearly
twice as thick as its normal dame
ter of eight inches. The middle of
the body was especially distended.
Burns cut the anaconda open and
found in the stomach the bodies Of
half dozen big sewer rats, which
the anaconda had not had time to
digest before it was frozen to death.
The two 'longshoremen were vim
