I was especially struck with the unremitting attention with which Dr. Trevor was treating a bad case of amputation at the shoulder. I was afraid the man would die ; but subsequently I found that he made a satisfactory recovery. The nursing department has been greatly strengthened by the addition to the staff of Nurse Doyle, who is a very capable assistant to Mrs. Mackay.
