ed from time to time. In 1924 through the generosity of its 
friends, a six-story wing was added which increased the capa- 
city of the plant to approximately 825 beds. The hospital at 
the same time greatly improved its laundry, servants’ quar- 
ters and power plant. There is a well equipped nurses’ home 
and training school fronting on the Aiken avenue side of the 
property. 
The first school for nurses between the Allegheny moun- 
tains and Chicago was opened in the Pittsburgh Homoeopathic 
Hospital in 1884. This department has maintained a high 
reputation, its graduates being in demand over a wide area, 
and many of them having become connected in positions of 
responsibility with other ranking institutions of the district. 
At the present time this is the third most important 
Homoeopathic hospital in the United States, exceeding in 
its size all save those in Philadelphia and New York.
