Wo are frequently asked how we expect to support the institution which wo have, In tho past few days, launch ed out In Ardmore. If thero arc no patients, thero will bo no expenses except the usual expenses of maintain-1 ing our family. When a patient en ters for treatment, an income begins; It matters not whether tho patient bo ablo to pay or not We have thor oughly tried the experiment and know that a hospital that is built and run upon an economical basis, for the good of humanity, will bo supported. Wo have energy to devoto to tho up building of Havenwood Hospital and wo expect to make it a blessing to hu manity. In order to make It most ef fectual, we are not going to let It bo controlled in the Interest of any cer tain physician, but all reputable gen tlemen of the profession of Ardmoro or elsewhere, will bo allowed all the privileges necessary for the effectual treatment of their patients who need hospital accommodations. Tho Insti tution will be Incorporated at an early date, the plans being already mature, and shares of Btock will be sold to any Individual who 1iqb an interest in tho good work and the funds secured by such sale of stock will be devoted to tho improving of tho property, and at any time after six months the full amount of the share, $25, will be re funded to the shareholder In case ho docs not desire to retain bis or her Interest in tho hospital. In order to accomplish tho main ob ject we have in establishing a hospital In Ardmore, we want to co-operate with tho different church workers in caring for the sick among tho poor, who often suffer greatly for lack of proper medical care. We will furnish medicines for such patients and give such other aid as Is found necessary, Any other information will be read' ily given to anyone, and wo will bo glad to assist any whose object Is to help the work. In an Investigation of what we are doing. We expect the people who contribute to the Institu tion to appoint a board of directors to control and guide the work to a glo rious succesB.
