ir IS GOOD
Skagwav H s Thoroughly
Equipped Hospital
The White Pass Employees' hospital '
is one of the institutions with
which Skagwav will begin the New j
Year o( which every citizen has reason
to be proua. It is to a very large ex
tent one of the deve opments of the
good Old Year the sands of whose
time have nearly all escaped.
Under the experienced direction of
Dr. F. C. Normac this institution has
been all but transformed this year into
a modem hospital, where the sick- can i
get the attention and the benefit of ap-l
pi iances and skill that usually are ob
tainable only in the large institutions
of the large cities. Not only has the
house been renovated from top to bot
tom but new equipment, new instru
ments, electrical appliances and other
improvements, whose value is fully
appreciated oaly bv the profession, have
been installed.
For the purpose of improvin the sani
tary conditions and providing against
contagion of an; kind, all tbe rooms of
the building have been hard-finished.
The floors of all the wards and private
rocos have been finished with hard
wood floors. The floors, walls and ceil
ings ar" washed after the discbarge of
each patient and the room occupied dis
infected. Every room in the building,
including the wards, the private rooms, j
office, corridors, kitchen and dining
rooms, lavatories, etc., are kept spot
lessly clean and thoroughly disinfected.
Hot and cold water and bath rooms
have been installed on eaoh floor of the
building, and everything has been made
as convenient and comfortable as in any
twentieth century hospital.
The operating room has been equip
ped with'a s'eriliziog machine from
which hot' atid cold water can be
secured at any hour. of the day or night.
The ruom is made impervious to terms
of all kinds and surgical instruments to
the value of $SI'0 have been placed in it.
Across * small ball from : he operat
iog ioom and on tbe floor with most uf
the private rooms is the electrical room
where the X-ray machine snd the other
electrical appliances are in readiness
f.-r use. Here can be treated all the
rheuma'ic and nervous deseases which
stubbornly refuse to yeild to anything
except electricity. The eff cacy of the
ippliances when directed by Knowledge
and skill <sb iog proved almost daily.
Oo'y the best of nurses ai d other as
sistants are kept by tbe hosplial.
Ti e reco:d of the hospital for tbe
ye r ju-t closing is one of which all
those conn cted with it have much
r a>ou 10 be proud. One week ago 203
I patients bud been inmates of the hos
pital for the year. Of these 95 were
employees of the railroad and 108 out
siders. Of the whole number there
were only two deaths
These patients have come not only
from Skagwav but from Dawson, Atlin,
Whitehorse, Haines, Juneau, Douglas
and other places. As a rule the patients
from out of town were very serious
cases. All of them were highly
pleased with their treatment, tbe gen
eral efficiency of the hospital corps and
the preparedness of the hospital to care
for them.
During the last summer manv physi- !
cians from the i<irge cities of tbe states
have visited the hospital. All of them
have been very emphatic in their ex
pressions of surprise and pleasure to
finding a hospital so 'horoughly equ p
prd ard so well managed so far from
the boundari.s htyond which they had
beli?ved civilization refused to go.

Screamed with Pain ? Suffering
Nearly Broke Parent's Heart
Twelve Years of Misery? Doctor
Called Case Incurable ? Helped
from First, and
SPEEDILY CURED BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a .stop to
twelve years of misery 1 passed with
? my son. As an in
fant I noticed on
his body a red spot
and treated same
with differentrem
cdies for about five
years, but when
the spot began to
get larger I put
him under the rare
of doctors. Under
their treatment the disease spread to
four different parts of his body. The
longer the doctors treated him the worse
it grew. During the day it would get
rough and form like stales. At night it
would be cracked, inflamed, and badly
swollen, with terrible burning and itch
ing. Whti?- 1 think of his suffering, it
nearly breaks my heart. His screams
could be heard down stairs. The suf
fering of my son made me full of misery.
I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor
could 1 sleep.
" One doctor told me that my son's
eczema was incurable and gave it up
for a bad job. One evening 1 saw an
article in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
" I tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold; and when 1
had used the first box of Ointment there
was a great improvement, and by the
time I had used the second set of Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine' and
smooth as silk, (signed) Michael Stein
