vice. DR.. Guiteras was very favorably
impressed with the equipment of the
hospital and praised the excellence OF
its management. Afterward he turned
the infected quarter, watching for a
time a fire engine that was engaged in
steam distinction. On every side he
saw evidence of the thoroughness with
which the marine hospital has conduct
ed It's fight to eliminate the mosquito
from the district. DR.. Guiteras WAS
thoroughly pleased with the results OF
his inspection and expects to see here
