Much has been accomplished during
the hospital year in additional equip
ment. The new ward for females has
been furnished, capable of accommo-
dating fifteen, or more, patients. and
is now occupied by thirteen beds. A
new sterilizer, with the necessary boil
er to furnish heat, has been introduced
and new drug store has been finished
and furnished in the basement for the
storing and delivery of the necessary
medical supplies. In short, the equip
ment for the present and future uses
of the hospital is being constantly
strengthened and it's opportunities for
future usefulness augmented.
The hospital has passed its expert
mental stage. The sympathy or the
public is more and more enlisted and
it has arrived to that juncture in its
history where it further appeals to the
confidence and generosity of d CRATE
full public. One cannot fail to observe
that, because of the opportunities of
experience, the medical and surgical
staffs are exhibiting, even to the laity,
increased skill and, because of the re-
sponsibility which has been imposed,
a greater degree of confidence in their
ability to meet, ofttimes, critical ext
gencies and extend to the suffering
ones that skill which is SO essential to
restoration is apparent.
Your committee are of the opinion
that the affairs of the institution have
been wisely and faithfully administered
and we commend this charity, with all
| of it's important interests, to the gen.
erous consideration and the philan-
thropy of an intelligent and apprecia-
| tive public.

Our work for the year has gone on
much the same as in the previous years
but with an increased nursing corps, a
broader field to cover and our work
classified under certain heads
During the year we have had several
sick nurses-two being critically i'll one
of whom dropped out of the work. The
other has resumed her place in the
school.
The demand for nurses the past two
months has been far in excess of pre-
vious year. Although we have had
more pupils the calls for specials in the
Hospital have been greater. and the
increased number of typhoid patients
has compelled us to place three night
nurses on duty whereas generally we
have only had one.
We have had a great many APP
plicants to enter the training school
and at present we have all the present
quarters can accommodate.
The usual course of instruction has
been followed During the coming year
we hope to introduce a system of dis
trict nursing by which we can send a
nurse out for one month at a time to
help free of charge those who need bet
ter care. she in turn to be succeeded by
another pupil.
During the past year nurse has re-
manned in charge of the operating
room three or four consecutive months.
thus making her mere familiar with
that branch of fhe training.
To the physicians we are greatly in
dcbted for their painstaking work liz
giving to the nurses a comprehensive
course of lectures the subjects of which
appear elsewhere.
number of text books have been
presented to the study room.

During the spring months of this
year every available bed was occupied,
our male ward overcrowded and it be-
came necessary to open another ward.
Our number of female patients is gem
orally in excess of male and 10 beds
We're put into the new ward.
The male patients were moved into
the former female ward and the rooms
Occupied by male patients We're con-
verified one into a private room and the
other into the homeopathic ward.
The work in the operating room has
been facilitated by the new sterilizer.
A drug room has been added in our
basement. To the Glenwood Spring
Co. we are indebted for our supply of
drinking water for the year.
The nursing corps has been increased
thereby increasing the work of the in
|stitution.
70 the Ladies' Aid the heartfelt
thanks of the hospital management
should be extended. Through it's eff
forts many of our improvements have
been added. Up to the present time the
Aid furnished practically all the linen
the hospital has used, and it's MEM
bers have ever been ready and willing
to respond when asked to assist in any
undertaking.
One item of special interest showing
the cooperation with the hospital of
people of all ages, was the gifts of the
public school children when presented
the articles made in the sewing de-
partment to the hospital.
During this fall and thus far into
the winter we have given more free
service than heretofore, the amount of
service given being SO weeks and
days, amounting to $625.00.
The kind appreciation of our work,
and the many gifts of the friends of
the hospital during the past year. have
been most gratifying.
To the board of directors and the
various committees. the physicians,
and all concerned connected with the
hospital. do l express my thanks for
their kind cooperation in the work
