difficulties much advancement has been made in our work. A medical staff has been appointed to take care of the various departments. The free dispensary has been opened and a training school for nurses has been started. Group Medicine is practised in this Institution for the welfare of the patients. Several of the staff doctors competent in their respective field may examine the patient, and with the aid of (a) Clinical Laboratory providing chemical-bacteriological, serological, and pathological services; (b) X-Ray and Fluoroscopic ser- vices; (c) Physical Therapy service. With these diagnostic and theropeutic facilities available under competent super- vision and with our aim to meet the requirements of the American College of Surgeons and the American Hospital As- sociation, we are in a position to give the patients the best that medical science can offer. The great work of the hospital is recognized by the State. Last session an appropriation was passed by the legislature of Pennsylvania, so the institution is under state control, hav- ing a member of the Department of Welfare to check up the work done by the institution. and a state auditor to audit the books quarterly. The board of directors, the medical staff and the women’s auxiliary are doing their share. Will you do yours and make :his hospital, your institution, a success? To the generous public and active friends who are helping this good cause, the board of directors extend their thanks for their good work and with hopeful confidence for future success. Directors of the Belvedere Hospital are: S. W. Means, president; Dr. G. Alvin, first vice president; Dr. H. M. Goeh- ring, second vice president; W. B. Sands, secretary; W. W. Johnston, treasurer; Hon. Clyde Kelly, Dr. J. S. Mackrell, Dr. W. H. Over and the Rev. De Francesco. BRADDOCK GENERAL HOSPITAL The first suggestion for a hospital for the historical town of Braddock came from the pen of a young newspaperman about 1890. Editorials on the subject came at infrequent intervals for the next few years. Then came an anonymous gift of $200 with which to start a hospital fund.
