Ball For the Benefit of That Institu-
ton Next Thursday.
st. Marks hospital, in aid of which
the annual charity ball will be given on
Thursday evening next, has, during the
past twelve months, made rapid strides
in placing itself at the front as one of
the best equipped hospitals in the
west, and if the generosity Of its
friends will permit, it is hoped that be
fore long it can claim to be the best in
all of its appointments and depart
ments with the most modern of like
institutions for the care and comfort
of the sick.
A training school for nurses in
actual operation under the direction Of
Miss x. Johnston, of the New York
City hospital training school, and
young ladies Of education and refine
ment can now be trained as nurses,
who, in the near future, will prove
valuable auxiliary to the medical pro
fession of the state
There is great need Of another build
ing with larger wards and other rooms,
and it is hoped this spring that some
generous friends will come forward and
help the board in this respect.
While the hospital facilities for doing
thoroughly aseptic surgical work are
good, and private patients requiring
surgical attendance can be assured Of
proper attention in this respect, We're
funds available a great deal could be
done to perfect this department.
During the winter months the hos
pital has taken care of a large num-
Der of free cases, besides those sent
in as charges of the city and county,
and it is hoped that this part of the
work may in time be greatly increased
when endoWments for this purpose can
be secured or when a larger income
gives a surplus that can be spent in
this way.

lecture every week on one of the sub
jects necessary for the proper train
ing of the pupils, are DR.. f. S. Bascom,
medical director of the hospital; DR.. S.

at the hospital and will be
glad to receive friends who are
interested in this work.

secured for the treatment of the poor
