It may be mentioned here, as not altogether irrelevant to this Report, that benevolent persons might often do a very great kindness to deserving men by offering light work in garden, workyard, or warehouse, to some of the men who leave Hospital "discharged cured" indeed, but still not restored to their full strength.

The Committee request his Honor to lay this Report before the Provincial Council.
