AUDRAIN,s HOSPITAL.

The vandalia Mail comments as
follows:
Mexico is endeavoring to get a
new hospital. This matter has had
the serious consideration of many of
our thinking people for some time,
and the need hospital in our
~ seat is apparent.
per cent Of the patients during the
past that have been treated at the
Mexico Hospital have been outside
patients. Surely the county ought to
do its part in thus helping to save
life and limb of the unfortunates who
suffer from diseases or accidents.
The old adage of a stitch in time
applies to hospital in Mexico. Many
a life could be saved could they get
PROMPT attention, even If they
would want to go to a larger city.
The first aid is what counts in most
cases, and we'll equipped hospital
