with it by a corrider. This building will be devoted altoge- 

 ther to surgical cases, and will contain a roomy and well 

 lighted operating theatre. To meet the expenses of this 

 handsome addition to the hospital the Provincial Government 

 and the City Council have each granted $10,000 ; $2,000 

 from Mr. W. W. Ogilvie is available, and it is hoped that the 

 general subscriptions will bring the sum up to $50,000. Of 

 the lesser but very important equipments of the hospital — 

 the two ambulances, for example — there is scarcely time to 

 speak. 



The hospital has always had a plentiful supply of water 

 from its own flowing wells, pumped into the building by 

 steam power. It also has its o\vn plant for electric lighting. 



CONCLUSION". 



In this sketch the hospital buildings have chiefly been 

 spoken of, and indeed it is among the buildings of the hospi- 

 tal that its history can best be studied. From their extension 

 we get an idea of the number of sick that come there for 

 healing, from their uses we get a knowledge of the different 

 kinds of suffering that have to be relieved and the various me- 

 tliods applied for their relief. 



Of those who have given thought and care to the com- 

 mencement of the building up of the hospital, we can only 

 mention the presidents, A. G. B. Bamaatyne and Wm. Hes- 

 peler ; the secretary treasurers, George Bryce, Alex. Mc- 

 Arthur, Acton Burrows, C. J. Brydges, J. F. Bain. Mr. 

 TIespeler and Hon. Justice Bain are still in office. The fol- 

 lowing is the present medical staff of the hospital, which 

 gives some idea of its growth : —
