From The
Hospital
Mrs. H. E. Jones afßr a stay of
nine weeks in Hie Riverside Hospi
tal was brought Sunday to her
home here by her husband. A
recent trouble with her throat
necessitated the removal of tier
tonsils and caused her to lose
much in weight
To say that her “home coming”
was heralded with joy by the pa
tient, her relatives «nd friends,
but mildy expresses a fact.
The Liberal joins with her many
friends in hoping that soon Mrs
Janes will he able to leave her
rooom and will regain perfect
health.
