DUN Ennon,—It is not generally known that we beve a well equipped hos. pita! in tbe County of Huron, and my object in writing this is to bring the institution more before the pobtio. visited the Hospital ou the 5th of tbie month, and wae surprised and delighted to leaf n we had snob a building for • the amommodation of the public and the pro. recision. The hospital is built of brick and le oonveniently satiated. It oontaine about twenty roome in all, the greater number of them being fitted op ae private wards, TM wards are of oonvenient else and are neatly and comfortably furniebed. Tbe operating room le 008 of the main featuree of the building, being large and well lighted, both with windows and sky- light:. The floor's are finished in bard. wood. It oontaine merble washstands with niokle plated tape, with a pieutiful supply of hot and mild water, bard and eoft, with everything oomplete. The walle of the wards are tastefully painted and amended, while the floors ere oover. ed with handeome rugs, giving tbe rooms a cheerful appearanoe. There are five trained names In attendanoe beside the matron. There were three major oper- atione at the hoepital on the day that I visited it, my own patient being one of the times operated on. On the followiug day there were two difficult operations. This number on two emmesive days 8 not a mufti oomarrentie but nevertheless a great many good operations are done at the Clinton Hoapital, and perhaps quite en many ae are done at County bee/Male receiving Government aid. So far only enrgioal oaeee bave been treated at the hos- pital bat provisions are being made for re. oeiving and treating medical oasee other Oban taberoolosin. Dr. Gann is Surgeon. in-obief of the hospital, and himself and Dr. Shaw look after the after.treatment of patiente. Other &atom, however, avail themeelvee al the convenience of the hospital and operate there. To maintain a hoepital like this ie an ex• pensive undertaking and I think is a Bahama that eboold commend itself to the support of the County Oonnoil ae well as to the citizens of Clinton and the pub. lio generally. A County hospital was spoken of, to be erected in Goderioh, and I think the °minty Council offered a grant of one thoneand dollars toward ite maintenances. Instead, otntIrljnot a grant be given the one that has already a repti• tation, and which ie more neutrally !mated, being deoidedly more convenient parteeof the County. I remain, to„ J.
