A MISUNDERSTANDING.
The CarbondaIe Hospital Is PTimar-
lily an Emergency Institution.

The rejection Of an erysipelas patient
at the Carbondale hospital has given
rise to some very uncomplimentary re-
marks about the institution, some even
going SO far as to say they would new
er contribute again to It's support.
These persons evidently do not under
stand that the place is primarily an
emergency hospital. Surgical cases
and some others are admitted for pay
to help maintain the institution, but it
is against the rule to admitNanv pa
tient whose disease will endanger the
health Of others. Under certain condi-
tions erysipelas is considered commune
cable and doctors deem it especially OBJ
iectionable where there are surgical
cases
IT is to he hoped, in the interest
of the worthy charity, that the forego-
ing facts will hc taken into account by
those who have passed adverse judg-
ment on the hospital director for re-
fuSing 10 admit the case.
