At the present time the staff of nurses

where contagious and infectious cases
receive special treatment.
The Hospital owns 20O-acre tract
of land which is located north of the
building. An abundant supply of vege-
tables are raised on this farm, and, in
. consequence, patients can always rely
on nutritious food as far as such can
be supplied.
