20 The Sir Oliver Mowat . Memorial Hospital The Sir Oliver Mowat Memorial Hospital is back on a civil basis and is well filled with patients. The change from a military to a civic basis was splendidly accomplished through the untiring efforts of Dr. J. C. Connell, president, J. M. Camp- bell, vice-president, and Dr. Bruce Hopkine, superintendent, backed by the support of two dozen other im- terested Kingstonians.

These patients were chiefly Infected ex-sol- diers, whose health was precarious from tubercular affections. And it is likely for some years to come the government will have to continue to use the safatorium for the treat- ment of its wards. The governmgnt, too, was gener- oug in Its ald in turning over its furniture, beds, linen, and all mas- ner of hodsehold goods, at a very nominal rate.

To carry on the work Involved much care, thought and attention and on Dr. Conpell, Mr. Campbell and Dr. Hopkins devolved the res- ponsibility of watching, instructing and carrying out the details, They are entitled to the heartiest praise for fheir untiring efforts, Mr. Campbell devoted much time in see- img that the necessary work was done in an efficient and economical way. He had many difficulties to surmount, but with cheerfulness and energy tackled the jobs and succeed- ed. Dr. Connell in & co-ordinating way, put the sanatorium on a good basis and Dr. Bruce Hopkins with skill and experience effected a sys- tem of successful financial, medi- evl and administrative authority that has gone far in making the ine stitution first class in every way. But now having put the sanato- rium on a splendid basis the great- est care and attention is required to keep it up to A standard equal to the other sanatorinms in the province. The chief burden will be the financial one, Before the hospi- tal was faken by the government, the Health Association. had awaken- ed. Interest in the work of relieving the city and district of "the white plague." It had reached a point where the people were beginning to realize what & momentous problem was the eradication of the scourge of tubergulosts, a scourge that has been and is a menace to the human race. The Health Association's mission is to restore if possible the diseased bodies of those attacked by "the white plague" and it feels its work can be ably seconded by the helpful advocacy of the real methods for the restoration of the afflicted. The THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG spreading of "the glad tidings" 'of relief and hope for those attacked by the disease, is a work that should have the heartlest commendation of all true citizens. And it is to get back to the Teal work of the association that it ap- 'peals for sympathetic, generous and helpful service. And what time is more appropriate than Christmas season when' hearts and purses are open to the call of affliction, of lonesomeness, of distress and dis- comfort. To give relief to the gor: rowing, the discomsolate, the poor in mind and soul and estate is a God- given privilege that should be widely accepted and practized. And MR. J. M. CAMPBELL AAA A tl AANA ANN what more worthy cause than the Kingston Health Association? Already thére are sixteen pati- ents from Kingston and neighboring places in the institution and this number is growing, as the know- ledge spreads that the hospital is ready to receive sufferers from tu- beroculosis.

The me- thods adopted are eminently sciem- tiie. Dr. Bruce Hopkins, the super. intendent, having spent his life ih the study of tuberculosis, and in re- searches and opier ways, has dis covered methods of a highly reme- dial character, The hospital is thoroughly equipped ang available for all who need care and attention for tubercular troubles.
