PATHIC HOSPITAL.
A lady who has been a patient in
this splendidly equipped institution re-
Gently said to us: II do not think
that many of the people OF Providence
know of the facilities afforded invalids
i'm the Rhode Island Homeopathic hos
pital." When i'm dire need she enjoyed
the advantages found here. and was
naturally enthusiastic when describing
the superior environment, well-appoint-
ed buildings and trained service.
This institution is happily located i'm
a quiet rural spot well adapted for the
requirements of the sick. The pros
pect from the hospital windows of hills
valleys, the towns of East Providence
and Rehoboth, delight the eye. while
the free circulation OF air aids in the
restoration TO health.
The grounds comprise several acres,
and they are beautifully laid out
The Rhode Island Homeopathic As
--eeiation purchased the estate sixteen
years ago. The house was designed for
a private residence, and while of ne
cessity many alterations have been
made. IL still maintains a home-like APP
pearance.
The first floor is divided into recep-
tion room officers, quarters, dining
room supply rooms. the sleeping de-
partment OF the senior nurses and the
kitchen.
on the second floor the two medica,
wards and two private rooms are To-
Gated. The third floor contains the
rooms Of the nurses and servants.
Besides the Administration Build
ing" there Is the surgical hospital and
the building for incurables. The sur
gical hospital Is said 20 be model In
every detail. being furnished with all
modern conveniences. The ward and
private rooms are furnished in a man
ner calculated TO dispel depression so
far as cheerful surroundings may.

thorities. with the history OF the In
