THE FOUNDING OF
ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL
Dr. M. C. Palmer spoke to the
Kiwania Club Tuesday at Oak Hall
about the early days of'medicine in
Polk County and about the found

and the inadequate facilities. A
short.time later the hospital was

made for the~~erection of the hos

present plant but that it is not
