A FREE HOSPITAL.

There is a good deal to recommend the proposal of a member of the Palmerston North Hospital Board that a hospital should be free to all patients. The man or woman who usually pays for treatment in the institution is tlie one who pays in rates for the maintenance of pauper patients. In China and some other parts of the world medical attendance is free to the individual, the physio, iahs .being maintained by the State. And, after all, it pays the State to keep its people healthy. The person who avails himself of hospital treatment is usually an object for sympathy and'commiseration, and it not infrequently happens that he is handicapped for years through his physical misfortune and the demands made upon him for hospital treatment. The ideal of a free hospital is a very fine one.
