HOSPITAL FARE.
(To the Editor.) Sir, — regard to the statement in Wednesday's "Star," your reporter has evidently been greatly misled. If be took the trouble to ask twenty ex-patients of the last three months, he would receive but one answer, that the food has been very inferior. H they had received the bdl-of-fare published in the " Star " they would have been weU catered for. Reading the " Star " report, you would be led to believe that the patients have the option of meat, fowl or fish. Far from it You are allowed fish or meat, according to the state of yOur health. The lemon, sago puddingplain boiled sago, without milk or sugar, and served without either. Stewed steak and tomatoes the patients never received. If everything has been as it should he, why have so many complaints been made by the patients and the outside public? Did not the patients petition for better food? Did the nurses not ask to be aDowed to interview the Board for better food for their patients? The sister-in-chorge, and not the doctors, diets the patients. "Why has there been such a vast improvement this last fort-night!-—I am, etc, TRUTH.
