All the adjuncts of a large and well-managed farm could be found on the Ancon Hospital grounds—a poultry yard, a piggery, a large garden, all of which contributed largely to the comfort of the patients, and to the economy of administration. The poultry yard contained some two thousand hens; also, pigeons, ducks, etc. Ancon being in the suburbs of the city of Panama, and on the mountainside, was always considered a most desirable place of residence. Out of compliment to the Church, the French Company erected for the Bishop of the Diocese of Panama a residence just within the hospital gates, and fixed up the approaches to this residence in very handsome style. A macadam road led from the hospital gate up to the front of the building, and a broad flight of some thirty-five or forty steps led from the main roadway directly up to the building itself. A noble row of fifteen or twenty royal palms partially screened the building in front. This building was used by us as quarters for the superintendent of Ancon Hospital. The laboratory for original research, which I described above, was located across the roadway some fifty or sixty yards in front of this house. I have also mentioned that part of the function of the laboratory was that of an undertaking establishment, and many of the funeral services for those who died took place in a small chapel connected with this laboratory. At one time in the early days when a number of the Americans were dying of yellow fever, the Governor of the Zone, like many of the others one day felt cold chills creeping down his spine. He went over to the laboratory to consult Major La Garde. The Major took his temperature, felt his pulse, made a careful examination and looked exceedingly grave. He insisted upon the Governor’s going up into his (Major La Garde’s) house, the one I have just described as overlooking the laboratory.
