Wonderful Hospital Work At London Hospital
The secretary of London hospital released figures showing vast annual activity. About 1,500,000 pills were used by patients, over three tons of cough lozenges, ninety two miles of lint, 478 miles of bandages, six tons of cotton wool, nine miles of plaster. Each day half a ton of ice and 400 syphons of soda water were produced. Eggs laid end to end would form a chain sixty six and a half miles long.
