| The {Richmond &}
Danville Railroad Hospital |
| Since the recent battles on the
Chickahominy several new hospitals have been established in the city
and surroundings for the benefit of wounded soldiers. Among these may
be favorably mentioned the Danville Railroad Hospital, in the railroad
shops in Manchester, under charge of Surgeon A. S. Mason. Having been recently fitted up,
everything is new and in admirable condition. The buildings are
commodious and airy, and as soon as the full arrangements are
completed, it will be among the best of our surgical hospitals. Both
shops contain four hundred and sixteen beds, all of which have been
filled. The location, immediately upon the opposite bank of the river,
is very pleasant, while near by are several springs of fine water.
This adds very much to the comfort of the patients |
