The nursing and general treatment of the patients in
the Hospital has been most satisfactory, and I am able to
assure the Council that they possess a most valuable help
in fighting Infectious disease in the existence of such a
well.appointed Hospital. In every case the patient's
friends have expressed themselves as most grateful for the
treatment received in that Institution.
