Hosnital Insurance.

helghts Hospital mas been IN opera
ton at a big cost to Mrs. Shinn
Besides, citizens have installed at the
cost of $4,000 an excellent and mod
ern Surgical Equipment, the title to
which is held by the undersigned
This is a high class and
sanitary private hospital pleasantly
located, whore entire satisfaction and
excellent service has been rendered
to the patients and physicians of Lex
ington and other towns.
Like most new hospitals it has been
run at a loss and unless more pat
ronage is provided at once, Mrs. Shinn
will be compelled in a few weeks to
close out this institution at a big f.
nancial loss to herself and a heavy
loss to guarantors who purchased the
surgical equipment. This would be
a calamity to the people of this COM
munity and we appeal to your COM
munity pride to prevent this. The
recent bridge campaign showed what
public cooperation can accomplish.
The work Of that campaign is about
ended and no more important new
project can be taken up than to save
this hospital.
This town is badly in need Of this
institution, now, and the need will be
greater in coming years when Lex
ington is sure to take a big leap in
population and business after the
Bridge, and New Roads are construct
ed.
The Hospital Trustees and Lexing-
ton Physicians have after much
thought and labor, worked out a
most commendable plan of Hospital
Insurance. 1t is a safe and wise in
vestment at a reasonable cost. You
will buy something that you need
and at the same time by cooperation
save an institution of which Lexing-
ton ought to be proud.
