Safety First" is now the watch
word with all corporations and indi-
viduals who use their reasoning pow
ers for the purpose Of taking care of
their best interests.
Safety First" is to support the hos
pital building project In order to be
safe when you are sick. Use your
money wisely so that when the neces-
sity arises you will be in situation
to make it bring you the greatest re-
turns, the comforts and luxuries of a
well-kept and well-appointed place
in which to be cared for.
Money buys many things, but when
there is no place in which to buy the
care and attention in the emergency
of sickness you cannot be properly
cared for
You can borrow money from the
bank or from your friends, but you
cannot borrow a. place in which to get
we'll when you are sick; such places
must be provided before hand, and
that is why every thinking man will
support the project of building big
ger and better hospital
The cure of disease is a public nee
essity, but without the aid of hospi-
tai it is often impossible owing to the
environment of the patient. A good
hospital is a place in which all the
modern appliances are to be found
and where the sole business aim of the
institution is to make the patient well
as soon as possible.
! The work of properly caring for a
sick person at home in certain dis
eases is almost impossible, without
the proper appliances such as, baths
rubber sheets, heavy woolen blankets
ice-bags, etc; and above all the know
ledge how to use these things scien-
tifically by the attending nurse.
Even after the crisis is passed and
the patient is on the road to recovery
in weak and nervous condition, the
familiar surroundings of the home
| take on exaggerated forms, and the
noises, the comings and goings of the
members of the household worry the
patient so much as to retard recovery
All this is avoided in a Hospital
| where the even tenor of the daily
routine and surroundings contribute
| to the peace and quiet so necessar!
to speedy recovery.
Watertown has been fortunate il
having a good hospital, but wholly in
adequate tC the demands of the com
munity. The praise, expressions O.
satisfaction and of gratitude by tht
many hundreds of patients, who have
been in ST. Mary's, is sufficient evi
dence of the care and skillful nursing
they have received while there
| No one ever heard of any patien
making a complaint of the service.
| they have received; but all agree
everyone who has been in the hospi
tai, in saying that the accommodation
are not sufficient to meet the demands
| This evidence carries with it tn
most convincing argument why tn
hospital should enlarge, and the en-
Ilargement demand better equipment o
all kinds and the proper space il
which to use the many needed scien
tific appliances.
Think over these claims for a bigge
hospital and realize that the interes
lof the community demand it from
business view point, and give the pro
ject your support, because, When yo
are helping ST. Mary's Hospital yo
are helping yourself
