trained nurses from New York, and more
will be provided as they are needed. The
board of managers will be glad to have
young women enter the hospital for
training, so that competent nurses may
be furnished our citizens as they are
needed This is a fine field for many of
the young women of the south. The in
terror of the hospital has recently been
painted in beautiful and artistic man
ner and all the apartments are thorough
ly up-to-date. The operating room is
perfect in all its details and is fitted up
with the most approved instruments and
appliances. Miss Elmquist, the superin-
tendent, who has recently come from
the Polytechnic hospital, New York, has
been much surprised at the number and
character of the operations successfully
performed. DR.. b. G. Copeland, surgeon
in charge, is untiring in his efforts to
bring Hillman hospital up to the high
est standard of excellence in every de-
partment. He is recognized as one of the
most progressive and skillful surgeons
OF the south Some of our physicians
carry their patients to Hillman hospital,
and the board of managers feel very
grateful to them for their efforts to in
crease the usefulness of the hospital.
During the next few weeks additions
will be built looking to the still greater
comfort and convenience of patients.
There are, as we are all aware, many
calls upon our generous public for other
worthy objects, but there are none more
deserving than the TIillman hospital, and
when 1T is learned that sheets, pillow
cases, pillows, beds, bedding, etc., etc,
are needed at the hospital no doubt they
will be promptly supplied. Charity pa
TENTS, when received, sometimes have
not change of clothing, and occasional
ly what they have on has to be Destroy
ed. The matron will be very glad to re-
ceve any articles of secondhand cloth

by the physician but could not leave the
hospital as he had no clothes. Different
members of the board of managers con-
tributed an outfit. Our citizens, who
have never turned deaf ear to the cry
of the needy, are requested to send to the
Hillman hospital secondhand clothing,

of the convalescent. The hospital needs
every article used in housekeeping, down
to cotton and linen rags.
