some FACTS ON
COUNTY HOSPITAL
Built and Supervised by The County
commissioners and Open to All
Practicing Physicians

We wish to call your attention to a
proposition that will be voted on at
the election in November viz, the issu-
ing of bonds by the county for the
purpose Of building and equipping a
County Hospital at the county seat of
Hand County.
This is a proposition that should in
terest every person living in the coun-
ty for there is nc one who is not liable
to meet with some accident or become
dangerously i'll from some disease so
that it will be necessary to have hos
pital attention in order that they may
have the best chances possible for re-
covery; also, the most comfort while
doing SO. At the present time, we
have no place with all the modern
conveniences necessary for the best
care and comfort OF the sick, and
many times we fell that much suffer-
ing could be avoided IL we had a first
class hospital to go to. A good hos
pital at Miller will bring one as near
your home as it is possible to have
one and it will be near enough so that
you can go to and from it without
much inconvenience or expense.
A County Hospital built, supervised
and maintained by the county will be
one that every person living in the
county can feel that they have a per-
sonal interest in and can have access
to whenever they need hospital atten-
ton
This hospital will not be a charity
institution as we are sometimes led to
think or believe, for all persons cared
for i'm this hospital, who have the
means to do SO, will have to pay the
same as at any privately owned insti-
tuition, except i'm a county hospital the
charges made will be for the actual
cost of the services rendered, except
the medical attention which charges
VIII pt iiuut ny tho upttol III dtttIu-
ance. This hospital will be open TO all
doctors practicing in the county and
persons going there can have any doc
tor attend them whom they may de
sire.
County charges or patients will be
cared for by the county doctor, as at
the present time, and the expense
borne by the county.
This hospital will be under the SUI
pervision of the county commissioners,
they appointing a board of trustees
consisting of five members, one OF
which shall be an experienced gradu-
ate trained nurse who will be at the
hospital all the time and act as super
%intendent.
If this proposition receives the re-
CURED number of votes necessary to
carry it, the county commissioners
propose to make this hospital n of
the most complete and up-to-date in
the state. also, that the nursing and
care at all times will be the very best,
thereby insuring perfect satisfaction
10 all. !.
The amount of bonds asked for TO
build this hospital $3.50, 100000 is very
small when compared to the millions
of dollars of taxable property in the
county SO that the small levy made to
pay these bonds at the expiration of
sc years will be so very small that
the actual cost per year to each tax
payer will not be in any way notice
allie, or a burden, and a very large
per cent of this will be paid by land
SPECTATORS and nonresident persons.
This is a proposition that il surely
worthy of your support and n we
hope you will not fail to vote in favor
of when you cast your ballot on Novem
Der End.
BY Committee or Hospital.
