The new buildings will constitute a

quiring special food. Facilities to
accommodate about 1000 patients will
be provided.

She'll shock cases are not expected
at st. EliZabeth's. as it is the policy
TO keep most shell shock cases on

army physicians have found that the
moving of shell shock patients from
hospital to hospital or transporting
them for long distances delays their
ultimate cure and frets them to a
greater condition of nervousness.
