at a great expense and with a great
deal of care that these gentlemen have
started the institution, the first of its
kind in Salt Lake. 1t is situated in
the center of a large lot, which is laid
out in pretty lawns and flower beds,
and is surrounded by shade trees. The
hospital itself is a large and airy brick
building, fitted with the most modern
conveniences, such as electric lights,
steam heat. baths, etc, and is on the
Warm Springs street car line.
At the rear of the hospital building is
a small house, which is used as a bac-
THEOLOGICAL and pathological chemical
laboratory. West of the hospital, at a
short distance from the building, is an
other small cottage, which is used as
Il home for the nurses. In rear of the
laboratory, north of the hospital build
ing, stands the stables which Will house
the horses and hospital ambulance. The
yard around the buildings is one large
lawn, and the rest of the surroundings
are Of the most inviting and cheerful
