VOL. III. RICHMONC
SUCHIEN,
By M
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
hoy's playground and the foreign teacher's
future residence. The avenue
of trees are willow, and in
" : ~
auuiucr year will lliUKe delightful
shade. The school
property is bounded on the ^jC^WB
sides not having a wall by . ^
just such rows of trees. To "65
the right is tfie residence of
Dr. Bradley and further on -I
the Hospital. To the left the
Boy's School. Now take a m
closer view of the front of the
Hospital. The entrance, as
well as the building itself
faces North, with a little tilt
Westward, so that in the
rainy season when everything is so damp
the afternoon sun pours 011 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
secretary, with his big spec- '
taclcs on, taking the names of
those who come in to be examined
for their various diseases,
near hv is a nnimioi*
behind which stand two helpers
who dispense mcdieines as
last as they come from their
In
room wait tliose who must
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.
Still further on to the
left, and we come to two pri- i-=^=?
vate rooms, and to the extreme
left the men's ward. Come ?
back now past the door of the I
Clinic, and we pass the woman's
waiting room, where a 3? -' 1
Jiible woman sits several
%?[C>\ hours in the day, and tries to
^ give those who eome an idea
TP ' of the Glad Tidings. Here to
,~ the extreme right we find a
V. counterpart of the ward on
_ ^ ^10 ?f tl,ose wards
can aecommodate 8 (eight)
patients, and has a bathroom.
The number of stairs seems
superfluous, but we must remember

us the other day real
operation, an old lady (Jo
years old. Her son brought
her, and he stood by all the
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
eome and get up on the operating
table that they had been j
used to operations all their
lives, they say so little, never
opening their mouths about
anything. During this operation
as Dr. was euttim- awn v

upon which is inscribed flatJR

good deal and it is a very
k popular way to express apprcciation
among the Chinese.
