AMERICAN CHARITY.
Writing of sickness / should
say that there Is a fine American
hospital here. 1t is situated near
the Tlaxpana city gate. 1t was
opened in 1887 and was founded
by a fund contributed by grateful
Americans, who had one of their
number seriously ill. He needed
proper attention which was not
obtained. He recovered and the
Americans started the hospital
scheme for the benefit of others
that should be so unfortunate.
Mr.. ]. Marshall Clarke, Mr.. w.
w. Blake, M. A., of the Two
Republics, and Mr.. H. P. Robb
have been the moving spirits in
the hospital, but, the American
and English colonies have lib
erably contributed to the funds as
it is necessary, for the hospital is
supported sorely by voluntary
contributions. Here all English
speaking people are received. II
they can afford it they are ex-
pected to pay, if not then they
are treated just the same. All pa
tients have the best of attention
and the results are most sstisfac-
tory. If death ensuss then the
dead are respectfully and decently
buried in the American cemetery.
1t is grand institution and de-
serves general support.
