From this it, will ho seen tllat n50. per cunt. higher rntcii than we

do and still have a deficit at tlic end of inch ycar. in fact this ill)- piies to hospitals all over th-c World.

During the year just closed lil- tliough our total number oi patients was something less than in 1922. the number of free patients tretiieti was considerably larger and in ad- dition to tlim we have a greater number oi‘ nnpnld accounts than we have lever ‘had before. There is no doubt that money has been source during the past year especially in the country districts an dthis has re suited in n large number oi‘ inlpuid lit-counts.

The Trustees have mnny difficult situations put up to them in connec- tion with 1.11s admission of patients to the Hospital. We are continually being offered incurable cases. 501118 of whom nro uble to pay but most oi‘ tllenl free patients. ‘The Hospital is not. supposed to take, this class of patient under any consideration jut wc have, where at all possible, always been willing to help out. Tiicn ilrere is the case of old peo- ple without a home or friends to look after llieni and many well men. ning people think we should take care of these patients when offered nnd the Trustees are very often criticized when they tare obliged to refuse admisison to such cases. We would ask the public to please bear in mind that a hospital is th-ere to render medical or surgical treat- ment to cases that can be improved by such treatment and that. if we do not adhere as strictly as pos- i=ible to tlils rule, we would soon have our institution turned into an Infirmary and a home -for incura- bles.

We have today a splendidly equip ped institution and have just been given funds to make such altera- tions and repairs as are necessary but we must hnv cihe continued fin- nncin-i support of Quinn's and King's Counties if we are to carry on each year without a serious de.
