IN an effort to arouse the inter-

1t is not proposed of course to

sick who stand in need of a suit
able place and for visiting pa
tents whoare to be treated by our
local physicians and for patients
needing expert nursing and any
charges of the city whether old
and infrm or infants and child
rem needing the protection of a
home and the care of a nurse
With the cooperation of the

kind, properly managed, would
be great benefaction.

and her scheme a kindly consid-
Grafton by all those good citizens
who may be in position to give
her assistance.
