The free bed at ST. Mary's hospital
has proven one of the greatest pieces
of charitable work ever undertaken
in this city. 1t has been conducted
for years by ladies selected from each
of the churches of Wausau and is
strictly undenominational. 1t has
proven a blessing to a great number
who would have otherwise been I'M
able to receive the treatment and
thus be brought back to health. The
amount necessary to be raised annual
ly for this fund to pay the hospital
is $3.50, and it requires about as
much again to pay for medicines, OPP
Grating room, ambulance, etc. The
surgeons and physicians give their
services absolutely free. The ladies'
auxiliary of ST. Mary's hospital is
differed as follows:
President-Mrs. w. B. Heinemann
Sec.-Miss Louise Dessert.
Treas.-Miss Maud Hammond.
