Webster (South Dakota) Health Home
By Hannah M. Peterson
THE work in the Webster Health Home was started Oct. 22, 1904. This place consists of five rooms, the use of which we have been given, free of rent, for one year, by one of the doctors here. We have room to accommodate only four patients at a time. Our aim is to bring the true principles of health into our home, and thus place the truth before the people. The work here has been the means of breaking down a great deal of prejudice among the people. This last month the16Methodist and Congregational ministers have requested me to come to their churches and give a talk on medical missionary work. This I have done. It gave an opportunity to let the people know the real object of our work. I am enjoying my work more every day as new experiences and blessings come. Sister Hannah Johnson is here also, and is kept very busy doing outside nursing. Our financial statement to date is as follows: Inventory, $155.90; accounts receivable, $196.50; total assets, $352.40. As we have no liabilities, the present worth is the same as the total assets—$352.40. The net gain from Oct. 22, 1904, to March 21, 1905, is $110. Remember us and the work here when you pray.
