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:

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

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

the material advantage of a
