the pOor-2G5 surgical operations have
been performed free Of charge. IL these
cases had been charged for according TO
such prices as would be charged against
a person in moderate circumstances, the
sum would aggregate 81 200. There We're
also 1870 patients Of medical cases, and
sundry minor surgical operations. If
these had been charged according to the
same rate. the sum would have been
$36l1. The board for these patients, in
Guiding medicine would have amounted
TO $50SG.73. This charity work has reach
ed out TO various sections Of the state,
and beyond IL. on Tuesday il is hoped
that liberal contributions will be sent in
