An Appeal.

| wish to make an appeal to the
community in the name of the Charles
Town General Hospital.
About three years ago the enter
prise was started and |, with a num-
Der of Others, gave $4,000 with the
hope OF establishing hospital second
to none in the state, though smaller
in capacity. Then, | induced Mr.. P.
w. Rouss to give $5,0000O to which
added $4,000 making $500, which
has been paid.
We do this to give confidence in
the enterprise and to enable the work
to begin at once. There is much
more money needed, and l hope the
people of the community will come
forward and assist us in substantial
way. The merits of the hospital need
not be reviewed here, but all know
that it has been the direct means of
saving many useful lives of the rich
and poor, and there many of the most
delicate and serious operations have
been most Skillfully performed, leav-
ing nothing in our able body of medi-
cal men and surgeons to be desired
The hospital is not large enough
to do all the work brought to it and
we want to enlarge its facilities. make
it more comfortable and convenient
for patients, doctors and nurses, and
give every one who comes under its
care the benefit ofevery modern i'm
provement. We feel that every man
should have deep interest in this
matter, for often, when we least ex-
pect it, the lives of our families NAV
depend upon the possibilities OF
reaching hospital without the neces-
Sary loss of time and the discomforts
of railroad journey to city. The
ladies have done and are still doing
a noble work in their various means
of assistance, for which we most
gratefully thank them.
Anyone who will contribute as
much as twenty-five dollars to this
worthy object, will receive a share
of stock for each $500 so given.
This will entitle the donor to a vote
in the management of this institution.
MIR. w. o. Norris, the treasurer of
the Hospital Association will receive
and acknowledge all contributions
