The highest number that the hospital
mas accom- n1oziated was IN March last,
when thirty-ahree OF its forty beds were
occupied The average nssnber OF pa
tents for the whole time the hospital has
been in operation Is twenty. 4 large pro-
portion OF the cases have been surgical
ones. and in all 80 operations have been
performed.
Since its opening the hospital has re-
ceived donations OF lumber and supplies
from many merchants OF the city and
some cash contributions through tho La
dies Auxiliary, which organization also
charges itself with the supplying of band
ages and dressings. But the institution
has latterly had 20 rely almost entirely
upon the fees paid by the patients, and
this has prevented the management from
carrying oFt as fully as 1t desired the pur-
pose of the institution to give its services
free 10 those who are unable to pay for
them.
