Our New Hospital.
We give up the greater part of our
reading space to-day, to the history of
The Norwalk hospital,and we are sure
our readers wil‘. find it much more in-
teresting than the usual town gossip
that seems to have become a fixture in
the columns of the local press. I
Every. resident of N orwalk is, or
shouldbe, interested in the hospital.
it is a glorious institution, and if the
wealthy people of Norwalk would one
and all contribute their mite in as free
a. 1.1anner as the local press has done
s: no its inception, the Norwalk hos-
3_ tal would be the pride Of our town.
In addition to a cut of the proposed
rmew hospital, together with a plan of
its interior, is published the story of
its start and growth, carefully pre-
pared by Mr. Thomas I. Raymond.
Hon. John H. Ferris writes of financ-
ing; Miss Dotha Stone Pinneo of the
medical staff and Mrs. Isaac S.Jennings
of the board of lady visitors.
The service of our clergy is ably s'et
forth by Rev. J. McClure Bellows, of
Grace church, and Rev. J. J. Furlong
of'St. Mary’s. Dr. J. G. Gregory con-
tributes an interesting paper-on whom
and how it blesses, and the building
committee announces where and what
our new hospital is to be.
The closing article is from the pen of
Mr. Frank A. Ferris, and deals with
how to aid the special finance commit-
tee. '
The closing paragraph is so much in
line with our own opinion upon the
subject of the correct way to assist the
hospital and guarantee its future suc«
nose, that we append it in full as fol-
lows: h
"What marble monument of great
0.1 st and rare artistic beauty could for a
moment be thought so fair a memorial
to preserve among men one 3 name
here after he had departed, as the de-
votion of the sum the shaft would cost
to erect one of the Wards in our new
hospital. How many a patient during
the next fifty years, finding comfort in
his affliction by the alleviations afi’ord-
ed within its walls will speak blessings
uponthé memory of his gracious bene-
factor.” '

river levee submerged Shawneetown

those who could not swim or cling to
something that would float.
The present is no time to criticise

In all civilized countries every con-
siderable city has one or more hospitals,
sustained by charity, endowment, or
government grants. Frequently they
are connected with medical schools for
mutual advantage. Many have elabor-
ate and costly buildings; but the latest
theories are not in favor of' permanent
structures, which are believed to har-
bor germs of disease. Military field
Hospitals, first known in the 6th cen-
tury, have now, in connection with
the ambulance system been made high-
ly efficient.
To appreciate the benefits of hospitals
or homes for the sick. one needs to
visit the same to witness the care and
skillful treatment both by our able
physicians and nurses. Many lives
doubtless have been prolonged in con-
sequence, and the anxiety of endearing
friends relieved. .
The Norwalk Hospital has been my
first experience in visiting, and if out
of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh, I fain would write
much more in testimony of the high
appreciation of it. Sufficient to state
it is one of the noblest institutions we
could possibly have in our midst, where
all are received alike and treated as
brethren. As in time of peace we are
called upon to prepare for war, so
should it be in time of health, prepare
for sickness.

verging upon her three-score years
and ten, suffering from a fracture of-
the thigh. The family with whom
she lived, could ill afford the burden
of an added care and sought the chari-
ty and blessing of the new Hospital.
With these two women our Hospital
commenced its beneficient work for the
sick and needy, and today its records
show that-three hundred and twenty-
five (325) patients have been cared for
beneath its sheltering roof. 3
Of this number very many have been
the true emergency cases: victims of
railroad and other accidents, of vio-
lence and mishaps, demanding quick
and skillful treatment, and surgical
care. ' Others have been medical cases,
acute diseases, grave and mild. Mary
of the patients have been needy, want-
ing, homeless, seeking the shelter ‘of a
caring roof otherwise denied them.
No worthy case has been refused ex-
cept for want of room,—and how often
have we recognized that want or the
absolute limitation enforced upon an
emergency Hospital.
The Hospital work can no better be
told than by a few practical examples
gathered here and there from the
record book.
It is a winter night and the hour is
nearing midnight. Suddenly the tele-
phone rings out the Hospital call;
“77—2l” The nurse on duty quickly
responds and learns that there has
been acoasting accident upon one of
South Norwalk’s hills. Two girls have
been injured and the ambulance has
been summoned,—“You may expect
them in a few moments.” Immediate-
ly the beds are prepared, the doctor
telephoned, and everything is ready
before the ambulance arrives. The
girls are carefully carried to the little
ward and placed on the two beds, near
each other. At once the nurses with
quick and skillful hands take charge,
while the doctors, in time, thoroughly
examine each patient, only to find that
the double ripper has done well its
work and left a compound fracture of
the thigh and leg in one, and of the
thigh in the other. The fractures are
“set,” the sufferers are made as easy
as possible and with directions for
their care, “good night" is said and
the nurse is left In charge. The hour
is 2 A. M. =
A sailor is walking up the Wilson’s
POInt road one bright May morning.
Suddenly and without warning a blast
1s heard, and he falls, felled to the
earth bye. flying rock. The ambulance
brings him tothe hospital. The nurses
receive and care for. him until the ar-
rival of the surgeons. There has been
afracture of the skull and a broken
arm; the operation of trephining is
done. He is cared for and in little
more than a month later the record
reads: "Discharged, cured.”
A trolley car swings rapidly around

So the story runs. Our Ho'spital
though cramped in its quarters, limit-
ed in its resources and wanting the
many things now so essential to hos-
pital success in the present, has done"
good work in the past and made a
record of which we all feel proud. It
has proven its usefulness and shown its
necessity. It looks with hope toward
the future and, with increased means
and greater facilities, to a larger field
of charitable beneficence.

Where and What our New
Hospital is to Be.
There is no public work associated
with our town that should appeal to
our sympathy and to our pride more
than the erection of a suitable build-
ing for the hospital. It would give a
cheerful home for the suffering poor in
time of accident and severe sickness; it
would be the means of saving life and
relieving pain, and could be made a
thing of joy to every one who might
assist in the building. It appeals to
the rich and to the poor. . Every citi-
zen of N orwalk should have an interest
in its welfare, and contribute to its
success. It is a great work of charity,
and must appeal to every church; it
will be a great benefit to the town, and
should therefore. appeal to the loyalty
and to the pride of every citizen. The
Building Committee has prepared plans
for a building, and the Association has
approved them. The cost of the build-
Ing, Including heating, lighting, venti-
lation, plumbing, etc. will. not exceed
$16,000. There is now to the credit of
the Building Fund about $8,000. The
work of construction will commence as
soon as the additional amount of $8,000
is subscribed.
DESCRIPTION OF' BUILDING.
The design is for a sightly building,
but does not include any extravagant
ornamentation. The cost of this. build-
ing has been reduced as far as the
needs of a. complete hospital would per-
mit. .Mr. Harrison, G. Lamson, the
ArchItect, has given a general colonial
style that Wlll be most acceptible to
the beautiful location of the grounds.
The arrangements of the wards, oper-
ating room, executive department,etc.,
have been submitted and approved by
prominent architects and physicians.
The Executive Building is nearly 50
ft. Square, having three stories and
basement. The basement gives ample
room for kitchen, boiler room, etc.-
The first floor is approached through a
vestibule With a wide hall running

How and Whom it Blesses
The doors of the Norwalk Hospital
were opened in the early part of J uly,
1893, for the care of emergency and
such other cases as the limited accom-
modations would permit, and on the
morning of the let its first patient was
admitted. She was a woman suffering
from some internal trouble, weak and
debilitated, and needing the care and
s tillful professional attention, which
her st‘raightened circumstances and
home life forbade. , . - s,
Late in the afternoonof the following
day, there was, also, brought to the
Hospital an old. though worthy woman,
driving over an unguarded railroad
crossing. Suddenly there appears a
backing train; there is a crash and he
is hurled from his wrecked wagon some
fifty feet, onto a gravel bank. He is
taken up, carried to the depot, and
thence transferred by ambulance to the
Hospital. There is concussion of the
brain and spine, and fractured leg.
The Hospital gives him the care which
his home c >uld ill afford, and the
anxious wife is relieved of an added
burden to her household duties.
Little Harry English. the messenger
boy, falls from a tall chimney in Me-
chanic Street; striking upon his head,
he is taken up unconscious and almost
dead and carried to the Hospital.
With a fractured. skull, compound and
comminuted, his case seems almost
hopeless; yet the depressed bone is re-
moved and the nurse sits by his ,bed-
side for many a. weary hour and gives
the needed stimulant which holds the
feeble thread of life and he is saved.
Today, an active youth, he owes his
life to that skillful attention which be
there received and which his own home
could not provide.
These are but illustrations of its
work, silhouettes from the pages of its
history. Others more remarkable
could be told. There have been
typhoids, and fevers, taken from un-
sanitary abodes and nursed back again
to health. Women and men have come,

ful care, whose homes supplied no hope

private wards, bath room, dining
room, Doctor’s room. Nurse’s room,and
award-kitchen. The third floor has
six good sized rooms that may be
used for wards when necessary.
THE WARDS.
At the rear of the Executive Build
ing are the wards of one story,
and covering a. space 60 feet by 100
feet. The wards are separated from
the Executive Building by a wide
corridor, designed for exercise for the
convalescent patients. From this cor-
ridor are the entrances to both the
male and female wards. The male
ward will accommodate 12 beds and the
female ward 10 beds. Each ward has
its bathroom and all necessary appoint-
ments. .
Conveniently situated to these wards
are a dining-room,ekitchen,- and serv-
ing room. On the west as you approach
the wards by a driveway is the general
entrance for. the patients, and there is
an accident ward with bathroom at
this entrance. On the east side of the
building there is another entrance,
and- a private ward to accomodate
patients coming from the operating
room. Below the floor of the wards is
a. cellar which is cemented, and which
may be used for storing purposes, etc.
The heating, ventilation, sewerage,etc.,

Of the Eight thousand dollars now
accumulated in the BuildingFund, nn-
doubtedly the larger proportion is the
result Of the gifts and labors of wage-
earners; their devotion has been e-n-
thusiastic, self—sacrificing and constant.
As of old “not many rich——«” are ade-
quately represented in this total. Those
who read the history of this noble en-
terprise as above given so fully, will
note that it has been, from first to last,
a work of pure philanthropy.
The best medical talent of our town,
serve at call night and day, without
the slightest fee and through the en—
tire list of direction, committees, visi~
tors, etc., not a man or woman of them
all has other reward than the sweet
satisfaction of helping the suffering in
the hour of their bitter trial. All
these workers give their best thought
and time to duties which continue
fifty-two weeks in the year.
The time has now come when those
who can give, if they will, hundreds
and thousands of dollars instead of
five’s and ten’s to the happy comple-
tion of the new hospital, are especially
called to rise to this high privilege.
Our Maker has put an awful respon-
sibility on those who for a time hold
wealth. At the moment of His will
the largest fortune drops from the dy-
ing fingers, and that which is called
mine to-day is gone forever, but the
accounting for its wise and beneficent
use is Still to come.

Alas and alas, I found almost no in-

ages they haVe been scattered far and
wide, either as treasured tokens of the
past, or even as building material or -
