Nurse Lillian Craib, who was consequently appointed matron, and who is expected to take up her duties in a fortnight from date. The hospital is to be congratulated on securing the services of such a qualified nurse as matron. She comes highly recommended by both Drs Fearnley and Edmeades, of Charters Towers where she has her home. Nurse Craib, who has been on active service in India and elsewhere, comes to us with unimpeachable testimonials.
