- Description
- A sick child is photographed in bed with two nurses at her bedside. A baby sleeps in a carriage. The Report of the Physician in Charge reads: "The season of 1912 brought to our hospital for treatment fifty-eight little sufferers, ranging from three weeks to five years of age. The major portion of the cases were due to the diarrhea diseases incident to the Summer weather. Of the total number, twenty-nine were discharged cured, twenty improved, and nine negative. We were fortunate this year in having no deaths."
