The gloctors in charge, Lieut.~Col, R: J. Gardiner, A. D. M. 8S, and. Captains Hicks and Filson, are loud in their praise of the splendid equipment of the operating room and declare it a valuable addi tion to the medical services of this military district The hospital is in a delightful part of the city and-.situated on the lake is in also one of the hoalthiest places imaginable The fact that there is now a fully equipped and well-con- ducted operating room for the use of the military patients adds greatly to its value.
