benefit aside from the humanitarian side that the State accrues from
its appropriation to this Institution is that it relieves the pain and
suffering of its little citizens and by cure or amelioration enables
them to become physically normal self-supporting citizens and not
wards upon the State's bounty nor crippled beggars in our streets or
counties. Correspondence may be addressed to Thomas M. Hulings,
Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Continental Trust Company,
Baltimore, Md., or directly to the hospital.
