This hospital was the first one to be
established in this city. 1t was found
ed twenty years ago by few earnest
ladies, who thought it necessary to or
ganize an institution, whose chlet oo-
iect should be the relief Of human suf-
fering. 1t was founded on faith and
prayer. and has overcome all difficulties,
and can offer to it's patients all the
advantages afforded by such institutions.
IL adapts itself TO the needs OF
all who come under its roof, making its
terms which are always reasonable,
suit the condition of rich or poor. Every
form of charity IL bestowed at all times,
and II is impossible 10 recount the num-
Der and variety of its recipients For
instance. last year. out Of the 200
patients only twenty-five paid full
board. the rest taken at reduced rates or
entirely free.

tlemen will enjoy the privileges OF an
