‘85—A recent issue of the quarterly,
Medical Missions in India, contains this
account of the new hospital erected
within the last two years, in connection
with the work of Dr. Frank Van Allen
in Madura:
“—Medical Mission work has been
carried on by the American Mission at
Madura for a number of years. The
building in which this good work had
been carried on gradually became dilap-
idated and outgrown by the enlarging
work, and another building became
a necessity. The medical work had got-
ten into the good graces of the Zemin-
dars of the Madura and Tinnevelly Dis-
tricts, and also of the Nattacotta Chet-
ties, or merchants living in and around
Madura. These, together with some
other native gentlemen, have given to
the Mission all the funds for the erection
of the new hospital. The total cost has
been Rs. 42,000. Two and a half years
were taken in its erection. The build-
ing was completed in October, 1897, and
opened the same month by His Excel-
lency the Governor of Madras. The
opening was a very pleasant occasion.
The building is 68 feet wide and 118 feet
deep. A portico projects at the front, to
protect from the morning sun. The
foundations are entirely of stone, the
superstructure of brick. On the first
floor there is the office, compounding
room, treatment room, dark room for
eyes, and insane cell, also wards for
patients. Upstairs is the operating
room, store room, laboratory, and wards
for in-patients. A veranda ten feet
wide surrounds the hospital. Accom-
modation for in-patients is arranged on
the principle of small individual wards.
Each ward is 13 feet square, and in-
tended for a single patient. When the
hospital is crowded, two patients are
placed in a ward. To have a number
of single wards instead of one or two
large general wards increases the cost
of construction, and also increases the
work of nursing, but it is popular with
the patients. There are 19 wards. The
Christian religion is taught faithfully
in the hospital every day, both to the
out-patients and to the in-patients.”
'87—George E. Hill recently made a

Captain Phil Bailey, who was recently
poisoned in Cuba. The young man was
able to write and apparently wished to
make as little of the affair as possible.
It appears that there had been more or
less depredations on the plantations ;
wire fences had been cut and various.
things stolen and one of the offenders
had been arrested and shut up. All
the party had been in good health when
this attack upon their inner selves be-
gan. They were all taken sick except
one man. He set off on horseback for
the city (Santiago), but it was hours
before he returned with a physician.
When the doctor arrived he gave up one
man as going to die. All the sufferers
were stretched out on the ground and
in immense distress. The physician
took them in charge and they all recoy-
ered. There is no clue as to who is
guilty of the crime or what the poison
was. The chief thing is that they all
have escaped the close call and here-
after will exercise more caution.”
