WILLARD NATIONAL TEMPERANCE HOSPITAL.

“The White Ribbon,” NZ.,— By this note we wish to interest you, and your friends, in the Frances E. Willard National Temperance Hospital. It is thirty years since a body of women were incorporated to operate a hospital, which should not allow alcohol, as a medicinal remedy. To-day it stands as the largest temperance hospital in the world, with a superior stalf of physicians and nurses, by whom some remarkable cures have been made. To increase its facilities, an addition to the building has just been completed, and a part of its equipment includes and amphitheatre, which has been said to be the finest in Chicago, and some give it a much higher place. This, with the old amphitheatre and private operating room, permits of three operations being perfoimed at the same time. A not unusual thing has happened in that these improvements have cost much more than was anticipated, and

we are in need of money to pay pressing obligations, furnish rooms, and do more charity work. To this plea to you and your friends for as small or large a contribution as you can give to assist in this phase of temperance work, and to make a lasting memorial to Frances E. Willard. Every dollar will help. Through these years we have had but little outside assistance, and now, if our building was paid for, the income from patients would take care of the other expenses. To bring this about, we are asking our friends for help. Provisions and fruit will also be greatlv appreciated. Thanking you for your interest, and all you may do for the hospital, we are. —Yours to assist in the uplift and help of the needy, MARTHA V. HIONIAN, President. TALITHA C. REILEY, Secretary. 1614, Oak Avenue, Evanston, 111., U.S.A. Please send all contributions to the Hosp f il, addressed to either of the above.
