and consulting rooms of the physicians,
solidly and comfortably furnished, and
in the rear is a Van Houten & Ten

second floor, eXQuiSitely clean, and de-
lightfully cosy n comfortable, while
on the third floor, besides single rooms,
are wards for women and children and
for men. The whole structure is
| heated by steam, and the light and
ventilation are perfect. On the third
floor are also the surgical operating
| rooms and tables, and it is notable that
in the selection of all the appliances for
this model institution the very best in
Ventions of science LAY been procured,
regardless of cost. Miss McKinnon, Of
Maxton, is the efficient head nurse,
having under her a capable staff of as
SiStantS.
