In the picture titled South End Property we
see the Boy's School and the Hospital, and in
the foreground large grounds reserved for the
boy's playground and the foreign teacher's
future residence. The avenue
of trees are willow, and in

property is bounded on the
sides not having a wall by
just such rows of trees. To
the right is tfie residence of
Dr. Bradley and further on
the Hospital. To the left the
Boy's School. Now take a
closer view of the front of the B
Hospital. The entrance, as
well as the building itself
faces North, with a little tilt
Westward, so that in the r~
rainy season when everything is so damp
the afternoon sun pours on the whole front
face of the building. Down stairs, could you
come in to see us some day,
you would see in one room the "77

have careful and long examination,
or washing for former
treatment, and further on in the room beyond
is an operating table where examinations are
made and slight operations under cocain performed.
Stall further on to the
left, and we come to two pri- r_===_^^_^_
vate rooms, and to the extreme
left the men's ward. Come 9
back now past the door of the ||
Clinic, and we pass the woman's
waiting room, where a
Bible woman sits several E*
%?[?>\ hours in the day, and tries to
?-? give those who come an idea
TP of the Glad Tidincs. Hereto
^ the extreme right we find a B
V. counterpart of the ward on S
_ ^ .3L, the left. Rach of these wards
can accommodate 8 (eight)
patients, and has a bathroom. B
The number of stairs seems
superfluous, but we must remember

ing is the sterilizing room, and beyond small
closets with windows for dressing rooms for the
helpers, and for the storing of the comforts for
covering. What a joy and comfort, and how
many lives this clean, well
lighted, well equipped operating
room has saved, it would
be hard to calculate. The
slu;rs going up to the dormer
window room lead up where
the helpers live, a half storv
_ large room warm in winter
K|H and fairly cool in summer and ^
Fl capacious enough for several
young men to occupy. You
iggjgll can see at a glance that the
S BEb| nice cool breezes of summer
are available in every room,
the morning sun pours in, and
the warmest exposure possible ;jjjj
is obtained for the winter months. The patients 1
get the sunshine in their rooms whereas if the

land where windows are small I
and rooms are kept tight shut
in winter, and often there is
H only the door to let in the
outside air and light, the windows
make a great impression.

her, and he stood by all the 3
time. The operation was not
a serious one, but the old lady was a wine drinker
and took cloroform badly. She is a nice old
lady and they are well off. You would think
from the way the Chinese
come and get up on the operating
table that they had been
lives, they say so little, never
opening their mouths about
B| you make my mother well we
will send you a bien." This
is a large pair of long panels
upon which is inscribed flattering
mottoes, they cost a
good deal and it is a very
popular way to express appre"ciation
among the Chinese.
