STRATHMORE PRIVATE HOSPITAL.

Press. 3 Some time back a description of 'he | Strathtnore P.ivate Hospital just, tb-.-u coin- s pleted and fitted with the latest and mom up j to date appliances, including the operating | room, constructed eutirely of ylass, appeared \ in our columns, SL-.ce its opt?mng the Hospital has been visited by the Mlowing medioal gentlemen outside CanterLury, who have recorded their high appreciation of it, j viz. :—Dra. A. M. Thonasou, Napier; U j Bynott, Hobart; H, -W.ilker, Auckland;] S. B. McGahry, Superintendent Prince « Alfred Hoapit 1, Sydney ; tuul G. A. bytr.e, i Melbourne. At first Mrs T. Uoomiu-e ] Brown, who initiated ihe Hospital, in- \ tended it exclusively for disc isea of women, j but aa the many advantages to the palKuui j to be derived from the appliances at the I disposal of the medical g,:nilemeu atiendmt; became ao wiJely known, and mauy male natienta applied for admission, a male ward waa added. Since that time, however, the number of patients who wished to be treated in the Hospital increased to largely that Mrs Browu decided upon making Mtteasive additions to the institution oi two lartfe wards, one for male and the other far female patients, and these additions have just been concluded under the supennten aenoaofMrS Hurat Seager. The Hospital Bow affords accommodation for upwards of forty patients. A member of the staff of the Press on Sunday paid a visit to the Hospital to inspect the additions referred to. On entering the wards one cannot fail to be ■track by the entire absence of anything taggeative of a hospital, except, per haps, the ipotless oleanlines* and neat ness which are noticeable. There is an airi ness, brightness and cheerful appearance which must go a long way in the direction of aiding the recovery of patients, as a great deal depends upon the surroundings. The new building is 80ft in length, the entire building being 136 x 26. On the eastern Bide a male ward h<w been added to accom modate six patients, The ventilation here is admirably contrived so as to give the maximum or air without any draught what ever. Off the vestibule, which is wide and •irv, is a private ward, of which there are six in the hospital. Ihe other new ward la on the ground floor, and is 80x26. ihia will accommodate twelve patients, giving each patient an average of 1200 cubic feet of air. Over each of the windows is a ventilat ing fan light, worked and controlled by a patent screw, which enables air to be ad mitted on the windiest day without discom fort to the patients. The windows them ■elves all open widely, and the groove of the window works into a piece of sheet iron, ao as to prevent any possibility of draught when closed. Under each bed is a ventilat ing slide communicating with the outer air, and outside, over these, is an iron shield, preventing the wind blowing directly in, but allowing of a sufficient current of air for ventilating purposes. Under each window inside, and quite close to the head of each bed is a water service for connecting a cj d ooil. In the large chimney at the end of the room is an air shaft, which is to be used for the diffusing of disinfectants. These are sent into the room by means of a circular ventilating f m driven by water, which is placed in the ceiling in the centre of the room. All the bedsteads, wire mattresses, &c, have been made specially, and the blankets also specially woven. The walls are colored French grey, and the ceiling cream, giving a nice cool appearance, and the walls thtoughout the building, aa well as in this ward, have been painted with duresco, a material which allows of the greatest amount of scrubbing and cleaning without injuring the sutface. The ward is lighted with four incandescent gaslights, fitted with sunlight mantles, which give a very mellow light. All the floors are polished, and beside each bed is a patient's locker. 'Ihe nurses' room m off the t-n trance to the ward, and there is a tlida window through which, without leaving her room, the nurse can free into the ward. A patent easy lowering lift bring* the patients from tho operating room to tiie lower ward, ami they a:e then tekfin on a trolly with india rubber wheels, so that, no jatring take"! place whatever. A wir.i kitch:m is attached with all ga3-stove appliances for heating or corV ing at any time, should it be required ; and a sink is provided with hot and cold water. The ward on the upper floor, which is devoted to femalo p-itier.ts, is exactly timilur alike in siz^ and fittings to the one l'u-t described. A 1 the most up-to-date of recent appliances in connection with hospitals are to be found hvre, including a very large fr.e cay electric bath, &c. With the addi ions just completd, the Strathmore Private Hospital is now one of the most perfectly equipped ia Australasia, and it maybe noted that Mr T. Brown is well known as the local manager of the Westport Coal Company.
