The new contagious disease building
at the City and County hospital will be
formally opened some time in Septem-
Der with appropriate ceremonies. This
innovation has been spoken of by many
as the pride of DR.. Ancker's heart
and after thorough examination of
the edifice one cannot wonder that this
should be so.
The other day, in company with Miss
M. A. Edwards, the matron of the inst1-
tuition, and Fred Schilling, the steward.
Clio b e representative was shown
through the entire establishment and
told about the many varied manners
in which this hospital is ahead of any
other in the known world.
I'VE will start in at the basement"
said Miss Edwards, and take you up
ward. That's the manner in which
most people like to go. There's moth
ing like getting up in the world We
added as an afterthought.
Possibly the first thing j ought to
tell you," she continued, SIS that each
floor of this building is as completely
isolated from the other two as they are
from the outside world. 1t would not

his, said Miss Edwards, is where
the mattresses are made. And this is
the material from which they are
evolved. Some call it shredded palm,
and others call it seaweed or seagrass.
Inc most important reason for using
1T is that 1t is very cheap, and if it is
necessary to throw it away there is
practically no loss after it has served
one patient. But just the same, they
are often used many times. We steril-
ize them time afterf time, and there
you see the benefit to be derived from
ster1llzer. Now, we are done with
the basement, let's go up on the next
floor. While you will see little or no
difference between the arrangement of
the different flats, still you had better
go over it ALL
Outside We went and entered the
door to the floor which will be devoted
to none but scarlet fever patients.
Stairs of Cement.
Take particular notice of these
stairs" said the matron. Are they not
fine? Solid cement and built right into
the walls. In fact, they are all one
piece. Indeed, for that matter" she
continued, as we walked up, the whole
building is all one piece, except for the
window frames. The place is abso-
1utely fre-proof. One hears much
about so-caHed fire proof buildings,
but this one is essentially so. If one

that there is no wood used in the

So, radiant, she passes from the scene.

To count each several eyelash resting

The agonizing itching and burning Of

almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent cure,
the absolute safety and great economy,
have made them the standard skin
cures, blood purifiers and humour rene
dies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to alIay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to
cool and cleanse the blood. This COM

affords instant relief, permits rest and

Don't Forget

each floor is large room, and these
are called the general wards. Each one
sof them will accommodate about fit-
teen patients. You look surprised at
that. Oh, yes, I know that under Or
binary conditions, as the ordinary per-
son thinks about these matters, about
fifty patients would be in each ward;
but there are rules which regulate
these matters in hospitals, and we have
to observe them very strictly.
These others are all private rooms,
or for cases which are extremely bad
and have to be isolated from even the
others afflicted with the same disease.

mo, no, that's the sterilizer, or rem

this building, in the shape or clothing
or cloth, anything that will not be
spoiled by the action Of steam, must
be placed in that sterilizer and COM
pletely rid of anything in the shape
of disease germs. For instance; when
a patient comes in here the clothing
worn then is all taken and placed in
that machine and rid of everything it
may have on it that is foreign.

fifty patients, and will be devoted to

Of seventeen feet between floor and

to keep the walls and ceilings clean;

no chance for anything to lodge, it is

You will notice that on this floor the
