| The Hospital Herald, Charleston, S.C. |
The Hospital Herald is described as: The Official organ of the Association of Colored Physicians of South Carolina, edited by Dr. A.C. McClennan, surgeon in charge of the Colored Hospital and Training School for Nurses at 135 Cannon St., Charleston, S.C. Topics discussed in this issue include the financial needs of the hospital and solicitations of donations for indebtedness. Other topics include winter illnesses, sanitation and hygiene, and nurse-training.
How times have changed. They are hoping for donations of $15 to support a free bed for a month and $300 would pay the salary of the Head Nurse for a year. Click below to see local Charleston advertisers in the Herald.

i wonder if there are remnants of any of these frims. The hospital costs are hysterical. Today, $300 line item would be "Park and Walk in Door."
love this material. thank you for posting it, joan.
I know. What a deal! The hospital was on Canon St. and is now an MUSC office. Dr. McClennan the chief doctor and publisher of the Hospital Herald lived in the house I used to live in downtown. I am a big fan.
It is a treasure trove!
