HEARTY APPROVAL
FROM DR.. TIMM0NS
EMINENT PHYSICIAN WRITES
STRONG LETTER FOR KINGS
DAUGHTERS HOSPITAL.

DR.. E A. TimmOns gives his hearty
endorsement to the proposed Kings
Daughters Hospital In letter to
the order DR.. Timons says:
kind Ladies: That Columbia and
Maury county need a Hospital Is an
unquestionabIe fact Such an institu-
ton, properly run, would be OF ines
timable good, both TO our city and
County. Along with the hospital
there needs to a free Dispensary.
Such a department, think. is more
necessary that the hospital itself.
Contagious and infectious diseases
usually start among the poor. due to
lack of proper sanitary and medical
protection.
so with a Free Dispensary for that
class. those people would soon %. ame
educated to have their medical wants
cared for and at the same time they
could be instructed on the natural
laws of sanitation. Hence, such care
and instructions would be. a great
factAr in preventing the origin and
spread of such pestilences, which
prevention would be Of untold health
value to our population as whole.
Besides, such a free institution
would enable a more proper care and
handing of the white Plague" (con-
SUMPTION cases, which are more DON
iment among the poor, where the dis
ease develops most frequently.
If our City and County should re-
fuse to entertain the idea of a hospi-
tai proper, they would certainly fail
to put up one OF the most important
safe guards to the health OF the com
munity, by refusing to establish
Free Dispensary for the purposes
herein discussed.
With such a charitable institution
established here, ! think that the
whole ethical medical profession here
would take a great delight in giving
it their hearty support. In fact, we
ali do lot of this kind of work any
way; but in as much as we hays no
such institution located here. We all
are handicapped in doing our best.
The Hospital proper would be a
good institution here, too. We also
need it. While the Free Dispensafy
would be ample to take care OF the
walking patients, yet it would do but
little service to those who are house
confined. Here is where the hospital
would serve well, for those unfortun-
ates are quite numerous when we be-
gin to look around and count them up.
But the good points are Lesion
that could be said in behalf of a hos
pital and dispensary here. The move
ment in that line is humanitarian In
spirit-for the good of suffering and
afflicted humanity. - IT'S enough
said" Very resp,

BY request Of one Of the Kings
Daughters 1 was asked to give my
opinion in regard 70 the advantages OF
hospital in Columbia
First Columbia and Maury county
should have q hospital nov, and the
demands are growing each year
Second. It would keep in Maury
county thousands Of dollars that go
out each year 70 other hospitals all
over the country
Third. The convenisnces to the
sick would be innumerable.
Fourth. It would be monument
that all of US would be proud OF.
"RoBT. J. MGAvocK."

Dear Mrs. Woodbridge: The neces-
sity for the establishment and main
tenance Of a hospital for Columbia is
certainly TO every citizen apparent
Fhere has at various times been plans
.gitated for a hospital here, but. un-
fortunately, no organization such as
the Kings Daughters has undertaken
it,. A great majority of hospitals,
such as the one understand you all
propose to run, are operated at a loss
and in the establishment of it l think
it would be wise to look also to the
future Of it.
keep it out of politics.
There is no reason why Columbia
should not have a hospital such as
towns Of much smaller population
than our city has. Very respt.

In my opinion a public hospital in
Columbia can be made almost self
supporting, and through it more real
charity can be accomplished than
through any other one avenue. and it
is absolutely essential that Columbia
should have such an institution with
