Many operations impracticable or hopeless 1f attempted at home may be performed here with/best résults to patients. In almost all our cases a good Ire- covery follows the efficient treatment of the medical stall and the care of our trained nurses; and the . Hospital shelters the convalescents until they may be safely transferred to their homes. Now cannot everyone see that this, our prime purpose of giving first and necessary aid to, the injured and those 111 with acute diseases, would be frustrated if our wards ”were filled with chronic incurable cases, some sufifer- ing from disease in Iolfensive and harmful forms, a nd likely to spread the poison to others. Such, sufferers ap- peal strongly to our sympathy, but we must for the most part look to their re- lief in other places than here, as all will agree. Nevertheless, the Hospital from the first has permitted itself to cover a broader field. Many forms of chronic disease have been admitted to its wards. V If the Annual Catalogue of 'ItIhe liar- ious cases which have been treated is . consulted, it will be seen that a. very wide latitude has been covered, and the acute and chronic have been side by side. "I While some patients have re- mained here a Short time, others have greatly prolonged their stay.

Miss Lucretia Cullen was the guest Free Hospital.” But in our world somebody has to pay and good In asense, so it is. the cost of all gool service service is always costly. This magnificent Hospital, furnished for its work, is freely given so well ufor the relief of the sick and suffering, but it cost $l0,000. repay the generous dOnors one cent of Nobody will eve 1 this large sum. It stands a monument to their sympathy and their liberality. It cost them these thousands to be svmpathetic and liberal, and it will cost. them? .nd others of like Spirit, more to make these _appl1auces elfec- . tive this year and in-the years to come. Sowhile the sick are served gratui- tousl y by a most devoted staff of our skillful physicians, and every service by all the Officers—President, 'Secre- tary, Treasurer, Executive Committee and Directors, has also been freely given without any. salary. The Hospital must pay for ' its fuel, . light-,food, repairs, all domestics,train- ed nurses, medical appliances, etc. While the “Free Hospital” is now ours, we cannot tell until we pass through the'first year just what it will cost'per annum to run it. The state of Connecticut has made an annual ap‘ propriation of $3,500 for the next two years, but our expense account will be much more then that, perhaps, with best economy, double that sum. THE COST OF CALLING FOR A PATIENT. Hospital's In this Some are allowed $4. per week when one of “the town poor” becomea patient. One of our town officers awhile ago said that N or- walk paidfor all it got of our Hos- pital, because it paid that rate. As a matter of fact, in 18.98 every patient of ours cost the Hospital at the. rate of $19.04 per week. In the case mentioned our Hospital really contributed $15. per week to care f01 those sick at the town’s cost.- 1 WHO PAYS THE BILLS ‘9 Outward patients, if they have the taubility, ordinarily pay $7.00 per week, while special “room oases” $15.00 or $20.00. While the Hospital service is a graciOus charity for the absolutely poor‘ and thos e who receive its blessed minierations are generally willing to do as-well as they can to- wards paying the Cost, all money so paid by patients helps other less for- tunate ones: but whether patients are able to pay or not is‘ never. a. condition in their kindly welcome, good atten- help .the helpless, but there should be a manly ambition in adobe 3. work for ' Icach t6 help hImself all he can. _ '7: :‘V I —If you hge a; house to sell ply-rent AZE'I'I‘E will bring you a ' gregational Church at his home, tiOn and skillful cattle.
