THE LITTLE EATON WINGHAM GENERAL HOSPITAL We have pleasure this weak in presenting some pictures of the Winghau t General Hospital. Most of our readers, perhaps, are familiar with the establishment of the Hospital, but, as many .have probably not had an opportunity of visiting the institution, we oonoladed that some piotures of the building and its interior, with a short history of ite origin and progress, might be of interest. The growing importance of Wingham as a manufacturing town and rail- road centre, and its distance from any similar institution, had made manifest for some time the necessity of a hospital. The increasing popularity of hospital treatment in all cases of serious illness, the better results obtained and the fact that experience had shownn that wherever hospitals had been established the ultimate outcome had always bean for the good of the oommanity, indnoed a number of the promiuent citizens of Wingham to take up the matter. A little over a year ago a sub .oription diet was circulated for this purpose. The people of Wingham and the surrounding country responded generonely and in a short time sufficient funds were subscribed to warrant the undertaking. A Hospital Board, composed of some of the most repre- sentative citizens took hold of the project. The Webster•proper ty, a large, 3 -story, brick build- ing, containing some 22 rooms, situated in the high• est, airiest, and most seclud- ed part of town,was snared. The grounds are spacious and filled with beautiful hospitals in their midst now permit such an institution to close its -doors. It is only a few years since when a major °Aeration was required, a patient had to undergo the moon- venience of a long journey to some oity boapital. The establishment of a large number of town hospitals has obviated this. Today the surgical and medical equipment of some of our town hospitals is superior to that found is city institutions, The establishment of a new hospital is a school of medical uplifting to any community, and the more remote from the larger centres of medical learning the town le, the more pro• nounoed for good direotly to the local medical profession and indirectly to the people it serves, must the insti- tution be. Jest as brilliant and satisfactory results are obtainable is rural as in city hospitals. Many of the greatest surgical aeliievemeets have been secured in the rural dis- tricts," These words of encourage- ment from the annual report of On- tario's Hospital Inspector are a source of gratification to those who have sacrificed time and money to obtain hospital acoommodation in the smal- ler towns, For the convenience of many who have Signified their intention of con- tribntiug towards the maintenance of the Hospital, it may be stated that such contributions may be given or forwarded to Miss K. Stevenson, the Lady Superintendent, to Dr. A, J. Irwin, Treasurer, or to the manager of any of the Banks in Wingham, all of whom are members of the Hos- pital Board, The Board consists of the folIowiug well-known gentlemen: Chi holm M, D. 31. P. Hon. President ; Thoe. Bell, President ; W.H. Green,Vioe•President; Riobard Vanetone, Secretary ; A. J. Irwin, D,D S., Treasurer; Rev. T. S. Boyle, Richard Clegg, A. E. Smith, F. J. Taylor, D. T. Hepburn, C. P. Smith, W.F. VanStone, J.E. Tamlyn, M,D., J. R. Macdonald, M D,, R. C. Red- mond, M.D., J. P. Kennedy, M.D., B. H.

This building w a a thoroughly over.hauled. At the suggestion of Dr, R.W. Brnce•Smith, of Toronto, Iaspeotor of Hospitals for Ontario, such alterations and obarmee were made in the interior of the building RECEPTION ROOM. public. to - render it suitable for public. private and semi- private patients. . A thorough system of hot water heating was installed. by Philip flies & Son, of BerIin.. the plumbing was done by the Jas. A. Robert- son Oo., of Toronto. Many' Wingham 'Old Boys" and a large number of wholesale firms doing bnsinese with retail merchants in the town, contributed liberally towards the undertaking, The Huron Old Boys, of Toronto, donated $50 00. A number of our citizens and some former citizens kindly furnished rooms. The Loretta Ward was furnished by the proceeds of a lecture given by Rev. Father' Tobin, of London. The Hospital Board was greatly assisted in the furnishing of the building by a Ladies' Aux- iliary of nearly 200 mem- here. The ladies have mani- fested a deep interest in the welfare of the Hospital. The operating room is perhaps worthy of special mention on account of the excellence of its equipment. A doctor from Chicago, who visited the Hospital last week, says that in some respects the operating room is more com- pletely equipped than the operating rooms in many of the large Chicago hospitals. , Since the b n i 1 di ng was OPERATING ROOST. opened, about the first of February last, over 70 patients have been admitted for treatment, The rates for nursing and maintenanoe are very moderate when compared with large city hospitals, running from $3.50 to $15.00 per week, according to location of room. The Hospital is under government inspection and is open to all accredited and regularly licensed physicians. The Hospital Board desires to thank all who have so willingly contributed' towards the equipment and maintenance of the institution. The many in town and surrounding country who have kindly donated flowers, fruit, vege- tables, apples, butter, and other produce, make too large a diet to enumerate, bat all such gifts, however small, are thankfully receiv- ed and gine great encourage- ment to the. management, As it is universally admitted that public hospitals a r e never self-sustaining, dopa• tions in cash or otherwise are of great assistance in the maintenance of all such in- stituttons and are always ;tratefuliy aoknow i edged. The number of patients so far, and the results -obtained, DINING ROOM. have enrprised many, and are in reality phenomenal considering the size of our town. and the short history of the institution. There is no doubt that, as the years go by, the Wingham General Hospital will ever find a widening and increasing field of usefulness. Dr, R. W. Bence -Snaith in this year's report of Hospitals of On- tario says: "There is no doubt that a well conducted boapital oonfere incal- culable benefit on the community in which it exists. Hot only are the biti- zens, out of the fulneea of whose hearts is provision made for the proper Ohre and treatment of the Blair and injured,welt rewarded, but an addition is made to the material advantage of a town which establishes and supports a hospital. Such an destitution benefits the community also by the in.
