most needed, i. e., at night; and, finally, in summer it is not needed, for the end and side windows would give ample ventilation, if there was any wind blowing, and, if the air was calm, a small fire burning in the grate (with the air-duct closed) would soon renew the air.

Not having the bills at hand, I cannot state exactly what each item cost, but the total expenditure was $2,500. This included the whole outlay for the building, painting, plastering, plumbing, the purchase of a cooking stove with the necessary kitchen utensils (including a large boiler), tables, chairs, twelve iron bedsteads with beds and bedding, and, finally, the erection of two lightning-rods made of threefourths-inch iron rods welded together (planted each in a small well reaching to the wet subsoil and filled with powdered coke) and reaching some distance above the top of each chimney.

I have thus attempted to show how a small hospital in every way adapted to the treatment of cases of small-pox, or of any other contagious or infectious disease, may be constructed at a comparatively small cost.

This plan of a small hospital is not presented as a model or typical one, but merely as a suggestion, in the hope that it may stimulate and in some degree assist in the erection of some such hospitals in various quarters of the State, where, as every one must admit, they are very greatly needed.
