Another great improvement in our means of caring for our surgical
patients is the establishment of hospitals all over the land. These,
happily, are not limited to our great cities, but in every country town
and not a few large villages small but well-equipped and well-managed
hospitals have been established which have done incalculable good. It
is not too much to say that every city or town establishing such a
hospital is repaid a hundredfold.
