The Fifth Schedule - The Story of Waimate's Open Community Hospital 1874-1975

Published by Craig Printing Co. Ltd, Invercargill, 1984, 219 pages. Spine of dustjacket faded, with signs of minor wear.

The hospital's 100 years of history is here recorded against the background of local and national events: an eight-day bush fire, early and late epidemics, local body and parliamentary elections, health legislation, the effect of three wars, advances in medicine, and always the Waimate community's concern for the sick and aged in its midst.
