Everybody loves the "good old days"—excepf when it comes to hospital care!

Who would want to enter a hospital today offering the some service—even at the old low rate—offered 20. or

even only 10 years ago? Nobody. that's who!

The "good old days" meant having an operation without any satisfactory pain reliever. But today. remarkable developments in anaesthesia have made the thousands of trips Canadians make yearly to the operating room safer

than ever before.

The "good old days" meant having babies at home. Back in 1935 only 37 out of every 100 babies were born in

hospitals. But today. practically all babies first see the light of day in a hospital.

T

all of which are of direct benefit to every person in the com munity.
