sive ami cultured pities in the west

of Providence, who have no equal for
excellence and thoroughness in such
work, Medford's new hoi-pitnl, erected
at n cost of $150,000, is without a
peer on the Pacific coast. Each les
son taught by the erection of Mich
buildings throughout the nation ha
lent ils influence to the local stni -
turo and it is as near ported as. can
be deviled. Someone has said that
success consists in never making the
same mistake twice. Years spent in
erecting hospitals have taught the
sisters of Providence much. Here it
is found applied.
Visitors Surprised.
Little has been said regarding the
Sacred Heart hospital in this city,
the sisters in charge of the work pre
ferring that the building should be
complete before entored and dis
cussed by the general public. There
fore the hundreds of local poople who
made their way to the top of Nob
lull Sunday to attend the dedication
ceremonies and formal opening of the
institution were little prepared for
wlint they found. True it is that they
expected a modern structure well
equipped, but not one who was not
amazed at the detail, the complete
ness with which the builders wrought.
There seemed nothing to be desired.
And yet, of course, thoe who had to
do with the planning and erection ui
the building could point out errors
which will not occur in later buildings.
Put those are few. Jt is an alien
laud to the germ, the microbe. There
is no place in which thoy may bide.
On nil sides are seen little conveni
ences which mean much to those fa
miliar with such institutions,
ltooius Splendid.
MedfordV new hospital provides
for 125 patients in private rooms.
The wards will nccommodate as many
more. Each room is well lighted and
at somo time during the day, sun
shine, that groate healer, will find IU
way into tho apartment. Each room
is conveniently and comfortably fur
nighed. The antiquated system of
electric bells or buzzers for sum
moning u nurse is done away with,
electric lights being used instead.
This does away with noise and at the
same timo the light stays on until
tho call is answered.
There is no place for dirt. Every'
corner in the building from cellnr to
roof is round, affording the ensiost
itccess to nil dust. No place is found
where it can accumulate. Tho build
in" is so complete that it is tho ousiost
thing in the world to get rid of dirt.
' Ventilation flood.
The building is ventilated by elec
tric fans. The fresh air enter a
room nenr tho floor and escnpos near
tho ceiling. So marvelous is the sys
tem that every particle of air in the
building, on every lloor and in ovor.v
room can bo changed in four ininuto.
Jot a single "iiunil air space,' m
dreaded by tho modern physician, can
bo found.
The building is heated with hot
water pumped throughout, which is
pronounced by physicians to bo tho
most satisfactory way of heating u
sick room yet dovised. And tempera
ture desirablo can bo hocurcd and
maintained in n very short tune.
An adjacent building gives room for
the laundry, the heating plant and
storerooms for wood and feiipplifs.
A "silent" ward is provided where
nil enscs likely to create ho'ibo are
treated. Those include tho insane
rases and tho like.

Storm of Last Week Gives Way to
Perfect Weather Heaven Smiles
on Dedication Ceremonies of New
Hospital.
Nature, over bountiful where the
Rogue Iliver valley i concerned,
came to the rescue Stiuday afternoon
with jierfect wonther. It seemed s
if Heaven desired to show its pleasure
in the dedication ceremonim at the
new Sacred Heart hospital. So a day,
perfect as only southern Oregon days
can be. was sent. Following a storm
of a week during which rain had
fallen almost continuously and tit one
timo so liHrd as to break records fur
a 12-hour period, the clouds cleared
away oarly yestorday and although
an occasional cloud drifting acro-s
the face of the heavens brought slight
showers during the afternoon, the
day on the whole was delightful, mak
ing the outdoor ceremonies at the hos
pital a pleasure, and affording the
greatest opportunity for iewing the
valley, which is prfect Ironi the site
of the hospital.
The hundreds of people who at
tended the ceremonies at the hospital
yesterday afternoon were amazed nt
the beauty of the valley at this season
of the year. Tho oarth has taken on
a new covering of green which was
intensified where the sunshine broke
through the drifting clouds. From
Nob Hill the valley never appeared to
a greater advantage. It was warm
enough to stand uncovered without
discomfort during the impressive
ceremonies.
Tho Sacred Heart hospital will
provo an. ideal upot for convalecmm.
From nearly every window a broad
sweep of valley is tieen and thU alone
will be un incentive for healthfulnesw
and man's full strength:
An observation platform on the
roof will also provo olio of the mout
perfect viewpoints tho vbIIov baa,
the operation room, lining taken there
under tho influeuco of chloroform,
mid a miiwV preparation room.
Put to write of all the detail is im
possible. To the layman it socm
niurvolniiH, to n physician gratifying,
many declaring that nothing was loft
undone which should have been done.
The chapel in the hospital i com
plete anil xory beautiful. On oitlit-r
side of tho choir loll are aiok
rooms which will bo ued by iton
who aro ill, small windows being pro
vided so that oven if a iter be con

INSTITUTION;
Speaking for Medical Fraternity of
Southern Oregon, Well Known
Physician Lauds Enterprise Which
Made Hospital Possible.
Dr. E. Uarton I'ickel. member of
tho stale board of health and active
in tho work which led to the erection
of tho new Sacred Heart hospital in
this city, spoke Sunday afternoon at
llio dedication ceremonies on IhjIihU
of the medical fraternity, pointing
out the vat benefits to be derived
from biich an Institution, not from a
dollar and cout standpoint but from
the standpoint of thoae wuoe busi
ness It la to awve buaiati life. Dr.
Piekel pralsod the sixtors for under
taking the work and the complete-
nts with which thoy carried out
tholr plans. Dr. I'ickel said:
"It gives me great ,nr to rop
reiont the medical profooalon at thlH
tlaio. An event that inarka tho 1m-
ginnlnx of a new era of jirogreM of

physician appreciate tho value and

Uiiilding .'Magnificent.
"Through the untiring energy and
master effort thlu nobln order, Sis
ters of Providence, liavo plaeod at
our disposal a building of magnlfl-
eont proportions, satisfying our most
critical domands In. mlnutost detail,
every feature most modern and com
plete, Including a most thorough and
up to date system of ventilation, no
dead air spaces, no nooks, corners or
resting places for germs, the terror
of the modern physician and surgeon;
in every sense of the word a hos
pital, and we are proud of It.
Time was when medicine was
looked upon solely as an art. but the
progress of the scientific side has
been so rapid we can claim substan
tial gains. Medicine as an art has
merely to do with a patient suffering
with disease; as a science, with the
disease itself. Tho successful doctor
of today must possess both. The
science 'Of medicine Is obtained in the
lecture room. In the laboratory, In
the dissecting room, In tho morguo
and from books. The art is gained
by years of practical oxpurluncn In
the lok room. When fccienco bus
prueontod a now moans of accurate
diagnosis, or developed a hotter treat
ment or it surer prophylaxis tho pro
grossivo doctor utilizes tho discovery.
The .Medical Calling.

Ijattlo on the sldo of humanity In Its

heard and was phased, for tho storm
cloud which had hung over the vnl

townspeople had made their way to
the top of Nob hill to inspect the new

uooii the orridors and stairways of
