Kellum, who died, inter state, at FYeeport on December 8, last, left personal property valued at $11,000 and real estate in Freeport and Roosevelt valued at $15,000. The entire estate descends to a son, Her bert A. Kellum, as the only heir-at- law of the decedent. The Year Book just issued by the Naeeau Hcapital Association indicate* that Nassau Hospital is doing suh in creased business each year and that the Association is financially sound and prosperous. The report of the Auditors sihows that sevetiivy-eight more patient* were admitted to the hospital during the past yehr than for the previous year, an increase of 6 8| 10 per cent The to tal number of patients' days was the largest in the institution s • history, the number being 20,047 as against 18,50® for 1916. The report shows that the average cost of caring for a patient for one day has been $3.29 1 12 cents, an increase of 17 1|2 cents a day over the former years; the in crease being escribed to the advanced cost of supplies and labor. Regarding the increases in these lines, the report states that the rates now being charg ed for ward and private room patients will have to be corresponding ad vanced and th-'t further efforts must be made to obtain increased contri butions for maintenance. An interesting paragraph in the report is one which reveals that dhe person out of every six admitted to the hospital is treated free, showing that the institution is doing much work along charitable lines. The need for a hospital on Long Island to which contagious cases can be sent is spoken of in the report, since Nassau Hospital is not permit ted to admit patients suffering from contagious disease*. “At present,” the report reads, \such cases have to be sent to the city, where not infrequent ly the contagious hospitals are over crowded. If cared for at their homes, as is often necessary, these cases, in spite of quarantine, are liable to be come a menace to the community.” More buildings are required,” the re port reads, \and better appliances must be provided as the science of medicine and surgery advances.” • The Association has acquired about two acres of land adjoining the pres ent grounds, and this additional space will be used for future development. The report compliments the staff and the administration upon their efficiency. The hospital, during the past yfear, has added an up-to-date standard X- Ray machine of high power to its equipment, and the X-Ray room is in charge of a comnetent operator, resi dent a t the hospital. Radiographs can be obtained upon short notice and ait moderate expense. Physicians of Nas sau County and other parts of the Island have eagerly availed themselves of this arrangement and have thus avoided the danger and delay inci dent to sending patients to the city. A table of patients admitted for the year ending March 31, 1917, shows that 179 varieties of afflictions that call for surgical aid were treated. The list shows that 106 cases of appendi citis were given surgical attention; of these only ten died and only one was unimproved. There were 89 dif ferent brands of ailment that were given medical treatment; of these the greater number were for lobar pneu monia, with twenty-seven patients treated and nine deaths. The total number given surgical treatment was 909, and those treated medicinally numbered 339.
