NEW AUDUBON HOSPITAL - OPENED LAST WEDNESDAY

The new Audubon hospital was opened last Wednesday for the inspection of the public and more than 300 persons were through it during the day. The Misses Rose McNally and Cora McIllvaine, graduate nurses, are in charge of the hospital. There are now six beds in five rooms of the building on the second floor and other necessary rooms have been fitted out. The operating room is on the second floor as is also the sterilizing room, and both are electrically equipped. All of the building is steam heated. The nurses will maintain living quarters on the first floor until such time as more room is needed, when three other rooms on that floor can be fixed up as patient's rooms.
