A CITY IS
EVERYBODY'S CONCERN.
"Hospital service means .mora
than care of the sick: it is a matter
of vital importance to those who are
well to know that the sick. and es-
pecially those who are unable to
pay, receive the necessary hospital
treatment. and is. of course. a
source of real satisfaction. Every-
one who is well likes to know that
when ne'neada hospital care he will
find it at hand.
"But public interest in hospitals
cannot stop there. Hospitals con-
stitute a formidable defense of ava'ry
home in the city against sickness
and disease. They safeguard the
health of the community: their ser-
vice protects every individual mem-
ber of it. To support that service.
therefore. is not merely a work of
mercy: it is an investment of health
protection. To give this community
the kind of service it should have.
