ness, 81, there having occurred only
hree deaths in the 65 patients, and
these three were I'm ARTICULo MoRTIs
when received within its wards, and
were, therefore ,impervious to treatment.
So that we may virtually claim hun
dred per cent of cures during the year
covered by this report.

generally known and realized, our peo-
pie as whole will become even more
united in it's support and active in its
promotion, enlarging it's capacity fol
