smallpox and 64 cholera patients. We find that of the cholera
patients, 36 recovered.
The years following the Civil War were specially trying.
For a time during this period the infirmary was used by the
Government as a marine hospital for the men stationed at
this port—but during the year between 1887 and 1892 the infirmary
 was closed.
In the year 1892, four thousand dollars was spent in thoroughly
 cleaning and reconstructing the building so that it was
again ready for admission of patients in 1893. Sister Katherine
 Foerster took charge of the infirmary at this time, and
won many friends for herself and the institution by her cheerful
 loving service. There were not many patients admitted
the first years after the reopening—as physicians wanted
more modern equipment and buildings, the old being inadequate.
 Accordingly plans were begun for a new addition,
but the death of Dr. Passavant in 1894 hindered the completion
 of these plans for a time. Rev. Wm. A. Passavant, Jr.,
his successor, at once began a campaign for making the
fiftieth anniversary of the deaconess’s work in America.
In 1899 an addition, costing $54,000, was added to the old
infirmary, which is the middle section of the present hospital
building, and the name was changed from Pittsburgh Infirmary
 to Passavant Hospital as a memorial to its founder.
The bed capacity was now 80. We note that admissions for
the first year were 285 and the expenditures $5,980.84.
In1902a laundry building was erected and also a nurses’
training school established; 1904 saw the sisters’ house and
nurses’ home erected, also power plant installed. In 1908 a
new laundry with servants’ dormitory was erected. The old
building was remodeled for laboratory and men’s dormitory.
[n 1914 the hospital was again too small, and a campaign was
launched in 1916 for funds for another addition. This was
erected in 1917, cost $190,000, and increased the bed capacity
 to 158 beds. Since the establishment of the training
school 211 nurses have graduated. Eighty-six doctors have
served as internes.
A fair estimate of the present work of the hospital can be
obtained from the statistics of one year: Number of patients
cared for, 3,831; nursing days, 48,233; pay nursing days, 28,-
