HOSPITAL REPORT.

The first annual report of Union Hos
pital Of Cecil County, at Elkten, has
been issued, showing in detail the work
done at the institution during the year
1909. The report of Secretary HqVard
Bratton, in part, is as follows:
Of the I24 admissions, every one Of
which was in absolute need of hospital
attention, there were but IA deaths; OF
these, were children burned over the
entire body, hopeless cases. and lived but
a few hours; two cases were adults, I
mangled by machinery, and the other
crushed in sand bank, both moribund
upon admission; two cases of gunshot
wounds of the abdomen, admitted in
bad condition; one case of gangrene of
both legs. complicated with general tuber-
culosis; one case fractured hip and one
case of heart disease, both women past
four score years; one case of cerebro-
spinal meningitis in child aged five
months; one case of Bright's disease,
complicated with heart disease, and
admitted at an advanced stage; one case
of typhoid feyerin in an old man, admitted
! in the fourth week of the disease; one case
of pneumonia and one case OF internal
hemorrhage, the only cases which had any
appreciable chance of recovery.
OF the recoveries may be noted 81 out of
~ cases of typhoid fever; three abdominal
sections including Caesarean operation,
and five case. of aggravated broncho-
pneumonia. There was no death follow
ing any operation except in one case of
gunshot wound of the abdomen.
H. An analysis of the Treasurer's report
discloses an economical and business-like
administration.
The amount of money disbursed during
the year equalled $6o64.s5, including
$2o7. Ss by former Treasurer Finley in Jam
uary. and $1os4. 3s by Mrs. Hurn of the
Ladies Auxiliary. This makes the daily
cost per capita So. I3-a satisfactory ex
hibit, when you consider that during the
forepart of the year there were but few
patients and that money spent for the
completion of the building and permanent
fixtures and equipment is included.
For actual maintenance the, cost per
capita was $I.4I, an excellent showing,
not surpassed anywhere for similar work.
This includes salaries, wages, laundry.
drugs, medicines, food, ice, fuel, light,
&c. Where the partient's days exceeded
800 per month it averaged about $I.25.
The low cost in November was brought
about by a Donation" Day Of provisions,
&C., in that month.
There is needed in Cecil County small
cottage with capacity of, at least, six
beds for the care and treatment of the VIC
tins Of tuberculosis. It will be many
years before the State institutions will be
able to cope successfully against the devas-
tating inroads of this disease. The hos
pital grounds could be adapted to this pur-
pose, and it could be carried on in cojunc-
ton with the regular hospital work

The Act of Dyind.

The common phrase death agony" is
not warranted by what occurs in natu-
raj death, which is a complete relief
from all pain. When death is owing to
heart failure or syncope 1t is sudden
and painless, perhaps pleasant. Death
by hanging there is reason to believe,
is attended by a voIuptuous spasm.
Death by decapitation or electricity is
only a momentary shock. hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies in painful
ness according to the poison employed.
Opium and other narcotics probably
give a painless, perhaps a pleasant,
dreamful death. Hemlock, as we
know from the account OF the death
of Socrates, causes gradual insensibil-
ity from below upward. On the other
hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic and
mineral acids, corrosive sublimate, tar
tar emetic and other metallic pofsons
inf1ict slow and torturing death. Prus-
sic acid and cyanide of potassium
cause quick death.-Exchange

Beware Pneumonia!

According to mortality sta
tfstics, pneumonia is one of the
most frequent and fatal dis
eases to which humanity is sub
ject. Its action is so rapid
that its victim is often in pre-
Carious condition before realiz-
ing that anything more serious
is the matter than a severe
cold.
This is one of the dangers
apt to follow the neglect of a
cough or cold, and is therefore
the best of reasons why one
should check cold at the
start. A simple. inexpensive
and effective remedy for
coughs and colds is made by
mixing two ounces of glycer-
inc, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil
of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure whisky.
These can be bought in any
good drug store and mixed to-
gether in a large bottle. Take
teaspoonful four times a day.
1t is claimed by the Leach
Chemical company of Cincin-
natl, who prepare the genuine
Virgin Oil of Pine compound

break UP a cold in "a hours
