SOLDIERS' HOMES.3
In this connection it may not be out of place to state that since the establishment of these "National Homes, " and up to the present time, 560 Michigan soldiers have received admission—345 at Dayton, Ohio; 178 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin; 17 at Togus, near Augusta, Maine; and 20 at Hampton, Virginia.
While asylums affording ordinary yet comfortable homes are provided by their governments for the disabled veterans of foreign armies, it has been reserved for America to take the advance in this field of humanity and right by placing the "National Homes" of our country, for her maimed veterans, on a scale incomparably high and infinitely superior.
