of the work that the establishment
of the hospital will result in attracting
many convalescents from northern
states who will be glad to seek the
climate of West Florida
as soon as they can be assured of
suitable accom-. modations. Hundreds of
invalids and semi nvalids seek the
gulf coast annually. and the Pensa-
cola HOSPITAL will be pa. ticularly bene-
fetal to this class. Scores who now
leave Pensacola and West Florida to
have serious operations performed
elsewhere. will find journey unneces-
sary when the hospital is completed.
The Sisters of Charity, who will be
n charge of the Pensacola hospital,
have headq uartnrs in Emmettsburg.
