It is conducted under the management of a WORLDS FAIR GLOBE. Warden, appointed by the County Commissioners. The visitors will be much interested by a walk through the spacious wards and corri- dors of this immense institution. The Cook County Hospital was established in 1865, though it did not begin its work until January, 1866. Previous to that time the city had been accustomed to board its sick at Mercy Hospital. But in January, 1866, it fitted up two wards in the old City Hospital, at the co...rner of Eighteenth and 100 PICTURESQUE CHICAGO AND GUIDE TO THE WORLD'S FAIR. Arnold streets, and moved to them twelve patients from Mercy Hos- pital. These wards were soon filled and additions to the building were erected. But very soon these also were overcrowded, and in 1876 the institution was removed to its present location, at the corner of West Harrison and Wood streets. The new buildings, which were not all erected at the same time, consist now of a long administration build- ing of imposing appearance, and a pavilion of four wards, and a wing of three wards on each side of it, with generous spaces between all these buildings, conducing greatly not only to their appearance, but to the light, ventilation and comfort of the wards.
