Bisbee daily review., 1906-04-19

ter he was rather excited and suffer ing from the pain of his eye. 70 fur ther stated that he had never said anything to the steward or anyone about the hospital that he wanted any thing different from what he was re- ceiving. Smiths eye has been dressed several times a day since he has been in there, but he believes that 1t should be dressed every two hours.
 When the Review correspondent went to the hospital yesterday after noon the members of the board of supervisors were there also making a tour of inspection to examine into the condition of affairs. Upon en- tering the hospital the correspondent first went into the woman's ward and there met Mrs. Nettie Brown of Bisbee. She was asked in regard to the treatment received: she replied: 'I have been here about four weeks and have no complaint to make, am treated fine, the food is much better than I expected that it would be and the doctors in attendance, as well as the steward have given me the best of treatment"
 Jack Sweet was the next patient. When questioned, he replied: "I have no complaint to make; the doctor comes down once a day to visit us and in serious cases twice a day. The food is substantial and wholesome"
 James Harding. the next patient, re- piled: T have been here for some time and was never better treated and have no complaint to make about the food or the conditions of the hospital and am very well pleased"
 Joe Gaynor, who was on the cot ad- joining Harding, voiced the statement made by him.
 Joseph Shinn, who is suffering from rheumatism and has been in the hos pital since 1900 under several different administrations stated that he was re ceiving better treatment and better food and beds than at any time he had been in the hospital.
 Tom Lewis, who was just leaving the hospital, after having been there for some time suffering from rheu- matism. stated that he had received the best of treatment and that the steward did everything that was pos siblc for him to do in making things comfortable for the patients.
 Thomas Lennon of Bisbee, who oc- cUDied a cot on the porch, was next seen. He stated he had no complaint 1 to make. that the meals were goou l and consisted of the following: Break | fast-mush and milk, coffee, steak or | hash, potatoes and plenty of bread. | beef, beans, potatoes. | vegetables. stew, bread and tea. Those | patients who are not able 10 eat sub l stantial food are given eggs, milk, etc. !
 In the Mexican ward there were six | MeXicans who, upon being asked if , they were satisfied with the treat ment, all replied: 'Oh, Sir, mucho l bueno." The condition of things | around the hospital as found yester- day by the correspondent were very good. the floors were clean, the beds covered with good mattresses, good quilts and blankets and sheets on all of them and clean. The kitchen and dining room were found to be clean and orderly and, while the dishes are of blue granite ware, they were clean. IL was found out some time since that | :, was impossible to keep crockery t.shes at the hospital on account of the breakage, and there has not been
  food furnished is good and whole some. and there are many families of V orlmen in Cochise county today that are not receiving as good.
 regard 10 the steward the article charges him with being a Mexican brute. While he is of Mexican par entage. he is a naturaIized citizen of the United States and is a graduate of the Tombstone public schools and for four years conducted a drug store ar Pearce. His name is Frank April | None of the patients of the hospital have but the kindest words for him in his treatment toward them, as it is he is only there temporarily until Mir | Kruder can find a suitable steward to | take charge. April has been there | only short time since the resignation | of l.. 1 Osthoff.
 The article does a great injustice | net only 10 the management brt also | to Doctors Bacon and Rooms, who arc l held in high esteem by all of the med | icai fraternlJ of the county and are considered as being as good physicians l and surgeons as there are to be found 1 In Arizona. Besides these it casts reflection on the board of supervisors 1 who are i.i :. legal :;en3e the oyC-seers l of that institution. There has not been a time when the board has been in session here but what the members have gone there and inspected the place. and so far have ever failed 10 find any complaint from any of the ] patients under the present manage ment. The members of the board 1 have happened in there when leastI
