HOSPITAL FOR ANIMALS.
A wonderful hospital for -the treatment of animals, from the largest to the smallest, has been equipped by the University of Philadelphia, U.S.A. An operating table has been set up, and is dssigned specially for big animals, such, as horses and cows. They are treated' like patients in a human hospital, except that, of course, everything is on a much bigger scale. It takes a quart of chloroform, for instance, to get a horse into a sleep ready for an operation. Operations are not. the only part of the hospital's work, and many sick animals are nursed back to health.
