Montgomery County General
Hospital.

Just over the line in Montgomery,
Out the road that we all like to glide,
You know. toward the hills where Madison
Went on his famous ride.
When the British were pushing behind him,
And Dolly strayed from his side,
Montgomery County General Hospital
Stands like waiting bride.
Just there is this dear little building,
Little. did hear you sayH
But it represents effort and effort.
Enough to push mountains away
And all Of the people did it.
You don't want to be left out of that "all,
For they are still pushing on with the
movement
To be ready for necessity's call.
It's the one brightest spot in Montgomery.
And Ill tell you they are numerous tool
Some times it's the saddest for some,
But hope this won't happen to you.
Just know If such fate should befall you.
That the tenderest care has been given,
And in passing in those surroundings
They died that many steps nearer Heaven.
But think of the hundreds of cases
OF every kind of disease,
From babies to dear old erandmas,
Cured and leave there well pleased.
And they are waiting for you when you
need them,
And they will serve you as they have
served me,
If you haven't been there, then 90 try it,
That it's the best on earth you'll agree.
