' occupancy of the original
Invalids' Hotel building, which at the date of its erection was the
largest and most complete establishment of its kind in the world, we
believe we have, in the building of the elegant structure illustrated
herein, made great improvements over the original Invalids' Hotel, for
the accommodation of our patients. Although our new building has only

large sum of money in erecting and furnishing this national resort for

be superior in culture, experience and skill.
