decades. IL still Is one of the most
picturesque structures along the
lower Rio Grande and ranks with
the most modern hospitals in the

there were 1900 cases in this section

girl to whom he later was married

bedside after she had been stricken
with the disease.
On the fifth day, the young lady

recovery had been abandoned. The
cemetery In those days was on the
island In the Rio Grande. Com
