hundreds are taking advantage of
the opportunity of calling at Nor
rell Memorial Hospital today to in
spect this splendid building. which
has been put in spotless order by
Miss Margaret Angland, the efficient
superintendent.
AS one approaches the building
its homelike, inviting appearance.
made possible by ferns and other
potted plants, at once attracts the
eye. and the long, wide verandas,
which almost encircle both stories of
the building, give at once the i'm
preston of comfort and restfulness.
The interior of the hospital is
pure white, and everywhere is that
air of perfect cleanliness and sani-
tation, which is so necessary in such
an institution. To the left of the
entrance is the superintendent,s
room, which, though small, is neatly
furnished and has a business-like
air, thoroughly in keeping with it's
very capable and efficient occupant
Miss Angland is unusually well fitted
for the position she occupies, having
graduated from st. Joseph's German
Hospital, of Baltimore, one of the fin
est institutions of the kind in the
United States; was for two years SUI
perintendent of St. Joseph's Hospi-
tai at Savannah; later superintend-
ent of the City Hospital at Albany,
Ga, where she remained two years
and was also superintendent of
nurses at st. Luke's Hospital in
Jacksonville.
The people of Lakeland have been
glad of the opportunity of meeting
Miss Angland today, and she has TAX
en- a great interest in showing them
over the hospital. From her office,
the visitors are shown across the
hall, to the waiting room. This
room cntains a handsome solid oak
library table built by the Lakeland
Manufacturing Co., and presented to
the hospital with the compliments of
the firm. The visitors have been
loud in their praise of this splendid
gift, as, in addition to being useful,
1t is highly ornamental.
On the first floor are seven bed
INn hn
teen. Each room looked spick and
span tday, with new linen on the
beds, and large vases filled with
beautiful flowers on each dresser
On the south side of the second floor
/ is large room, with tiled floor in
closed almost entirely with glass.
and when inquiry was made, 1t de-
veloped that this was not a sun par
Tor, but the operating room. The
amount of light in this room, at once
gives the impression that the sur
geons could quickly see what was the
matter with the patient, without the
use of any X-Ray, but we were in
formed that when more light is
needed on the subject, the big X-Ray
will furnish it. Adjoining this room
is a small closet affair, where the
sterilizing will be done, and nearby
is a bath room, equipped with show
er, for the use of the physicians.
Dumb walters, clothes shutes, and
regular" elevator have been in
stalled, and other conveniences, all
of which makes the hospital modern
and up-to-date in every respect.
In the basement is the X-Ray
room, and here boxes are piled high
in which is this big machine. which
just arrived few days ago. The SUI
perintendent's and nurses dining
room and the kitchen and store
rooms are also on this floor.
There have been many things
which had to be re-arranged and ad-
! justed, much cleaning and scrubbing
to be done, and in these matters Miss
i Angland not only directed her help
ers, but did much of the hardest
work herself. She has the interests
OF the institution thoroughly at
heart, and is looking forward to the
reception of patients on next Tues
day with much interest.
Everybody is cordially invited to
