Hosts of Visitors Inspect the Hospital

bore more significance than the usual
day allowed for visitors. 1t was the
annual occasion known as city HoSpi-

are interested in the work of the hospi-
tai, visit the building and attend the
reception that is given each year. Yes
terday was the most successful of all
such days ever held. The attendance
of visitors was quite large, and all We're
given an opportunity of seeing the
work rs it is done in the hospital. day
after day. Mrs. Hayden, the superin-
tendent of the institution, conducted
visitors about the building, and she also
placed the services of several nurses at
the disposal of the guests for this pur-

City hospital, without a visit to the
institution, and an inspection of its
facilities and appointments.
