ANNOUNCEMENT.

Donald MacLean Memorial Hospital, 
WHEATLAND, IOWA.

At the beginning of our fourth year, having so far perfected our methods of operating and systematized our management of the hospital as to materially reduce the cost of caring for patients we are enabled to announce the following fee bill, which will remain in effect until further published notice:

All operation not requiring drainage                   $100 to $150

All abdominal operations requiring drainage    $150 to $200   

Operations for Piles                                                $50 to $100

            These fees cover entire cost of operation and hospital care including laundry.           

            Only trained nurses in attendance.  We do not conduct a school of training nurses  

            Our head nurse speaks German, French and English.

            All patients will have a special nurse for the first week and during the entire time in the hospital if the comfort of the patient demands it.

We have not had a death from any operation in thirty months.

            Until further published notice no fee of any kind will be accepted either for operation or hospital care for any of my operative cases, dying while in the institution.

            The following business firms kindly permit reference as to class of work done in this institution and as to results obtained by
