Every attention is manifested towards them; they have the best medical practice among them in the country, and yet better, they have in the fair daughters of Winchester mothers, sisters, whose beneficence and constant attention to their wants are daily ministered by their fair hands, with their prayerful admonitions to the Throne of Grace.
