The treatment we got In the hospital
was great We received cigarettes, to-

their wounds much, and everybody
tries to be happy and show it. The
food was fine. and there was lots of it.

they were always trying to make,
things easy for MS. They did not rip
the dressings on your wounds like
some Of the butchers do in some Of our
dispensaries that know of, but took
them on carefully. Everything was
very clean and sanitary. and some Of
the hospitals had sun parlors. which
were well used, you can be sure.
