It is an open fund that can be added to at any time, and will, in the future, no doubt, be a Godsend to the hospital. Doctor John W. Corbett, the presi- * dent of the Board, is very appreciative of the work done by his friends, and especially pleased that it is for the Camden hospital. He takes this means of thanking each Contributor, and hopes their example will be followed by others, and that the fund will rapidly increase.

This contribution to the hospital cam? in the shape of a birthday present to the president of the hospital; an excellent and acceptable way of remembering one of his increasing years, and an ever-lasting remembrance.
