is sufficient to warrant the endorse

year"
The requirements OF the American
College of Surgeons of the United
States are very strict and it is not
easy for all institutions to get their
approval and become listed as a
standard hospital. For this reason
Perth Amboy is to be congratulated
in its showing and the governors,
doctors and general staff of the local
institution are to be commended for
placing the hospital in a high grade
of efficiency, as called for by the
American College of Surgeons and
the State Department of Institutions
and Agencies.
In the last few years the Perth
Amboy City Hospital has developed
very materially. Few people are
perhaps aware of the magnitude and
work accomplished by the staff OF
doctors, which consists of eight, four
surgeons and four medical. The total
number of doctors on the auxiliary
staff is twenty-five, while in addition
to these the institution has a con-
sulting staff of out-of-town doctors,
