MODERN APPLIANCES

German Evangelical hospital was the
object of interests to the visiting
nurses Tuesday afternoon, when a re.
cepti0n was rendered them and a tour
made through its spacious domain.
Visits were made to the wards and
the private rooms, under the escort
of the alumni of the hospital, and
the surgical rooms, living rooms and
the new nurses home, located in the
south wing, just added to the hos.
pital, won admiration from the Wis.
itOrs for the system of modern de.
vices adopted by the board control
ing the institution, which has placed
it in the first rank of hospitals
throughout the state.
x.Ray Laboratory a Marvel.
g., Quite extraordinary is the recently
fitted X-ray laboratory, consisting OF.
four rooms, fitted up in the basement
Of the hospital, uner the supervision
of DR.. LaRose, and equipped with ev-
cry appliance to further the develop.
ment of this branch of modern surg.
cry. A new 1%O-kilowatt Shook X.ray
machine has just been installed, re-.
placing one of 4-kilowatt power, and
on the walls of the room in which
this stands, are plates reproducing
the results Of X-ray examinations
and revealing in remarkable manner
exactly the location of the disease
of the patient and how far advanced.
Next this apartment is the radio.
scope room, where examilAtions are
made without the process of throwing
upon the plates, but revealing to the
practiced eye of the physician all
that he wishes to ascertain. Then
there is an apartment for developing
the plates. fully equipped with the
devices necessary to this form of
photography. A physician skilled in
the manipulation of the X-ray ma
chinery must be at ace an expert
photographer and an electrician of
so, as was aptly remarked,
here are three professions of which
he must be master, any one Of which
would be the means of a livelihood.
Explained by Or. LaRose.
DR.. LaROse, who has made a pro-
found study of the X.ray, and who
has recently returned from several
weeks study Of this branch of med
ical science, at Battle Creek, Mich,
was present during the visitors hour,
and vas most obliging in his explain
atoms and illustrations of the X-ray
machine and its purposes.
"A notable feature in the new addi-
ton referred to is the receiving room
for ambulance patients. Here is ev-
cry convenience for examinations and
diagnosis, before the patients are TAX
en- into any part of the hospital, so
that, in the event of a contagious
malady, no other patient is in any
way exposed. Rooms are close at
hand, and are provided with private
bath and other facilities, so that this
is of marked value.
Nurses Rooms Cheerful.
The nurses rooms are bright and
cheerful, and there exists at this hos
pital a superior training school,
where a rigid curriculum is adhered
and a high standard of proficiency (
