OPENING OF INFIRMARY
PUBLIC INSTITUTION IS AGAIN
 IN OPERATION.
A Matron and Resident Physician Appointed and a Corps of Train ed Nurses-Three Patients
 Already Under Care.

Through the efforts of the loble wo- men of this city and the untiring en- ergy of the Advisory Committee. Mont gomery has once again taken its stand with other cities by operating and maintaining a public hospital. After being closed since last December the Montgomery Infirmary was formally opened again to the public Monday.
 A competent matron and three train ed nurses have been secured. resi- dent physician elected and the new of- ficers of the infirmary have been in stalled for the ensuing year. The county and city have made substantial acknowledgement of their appreciation of the cause and the outlook for the future of the Infirmary is very bright.
 This infirmary which is located on South Perry Street is one of the most worthy institutions in Montgomery. Last December 1t was closed because of a lack of sufficient funds for its maintenance. This left no hospital in the city to which city patients might be taken, but in case of emergency, the Plant System Hospital was patron ized. Some time ago this institution was closed. Since that time there has been no accommodation for white per- sons except at private infirmaries.
 The women of Montgomery again came into evidence in continuing this good work. They met and reorganized for another year. The following off, cers were elected: Mrs. S. D. Seelye, President: Mrs. Joseph Goetter. Vice. President: Mrs. Walter Black. Treas urer; Mrs. J. A. Kirkpatrick. Secre- tary. An Executive Committee was appointed and also an Advisory Com- mittee to whom was left the financial status of the institution.
 The Infirmary building on Perry Street. has been thoroughly renovated. Mrs. Fannie sherman. who has been connected with this infirmary for near ly ten years has been appointed ma tron. Two trained nurses from the Plant System hospital at Sanford. Fla. and one from the Plant System Hos
 pital in Montgomery, have been se- cured. They are Miss Sullivan and Miss Baker from Sanford and Miss Leila Powell of Montgomery.
 The physicians who compose the medical staff of the Montgomery In- firmary are pr. Robert Goldthwaite, Chief of Staff; visiting physicians. Dr. s. A. Billing, Dr. McConnico, Dr. Ba- ker and Dr. Charles T. Pollard.
 The Infirmary. although It has been open only two days already has three patients. One Is a pay patient and two are ward patients. There are comfort able accommodat tions for forty patients
 at this infirmary but in case of emer- gency many more can be accommodate ed There are two charity wards. Cne male and one female.
 Paid patients are charged $15 per week for private apartments and $7
 per week for ward apartments. This
 only includes board and nursing. They of course have their own physician. City patients desiring admittance to the infirmary may obtain admission certificates either from the county ol the City Physician.

Rheumatism, Gout, Diabetes, Bright's Disease, Gravel, Irritation of the Bladder, Scala ing of the Urine, Swelling of the An kles, Dropsy or some other form of Kidney or Urinary Trouble.
