Thirteen years ago there was no hospital for consumption, nor any shelter to be found fur the victims of a national disease. Since the opening of the first portion of the new building in 1846, no less than 3,495 in-patients, and 25,509 out-patients, have been treated, and in very many instances the disease has been successfully overcome; and so great has been the demand for admission that the names of 165 persona, upon an average, have hitherto been upon the books as unable to be taken in for want of room. This painful circumstance, continually pressing itself upon the notice of the Committee, has determined them, in lull reliance upon the necessary increase of public support, to throw open the whole of the Newying, which accommodates 130 addl. t.unal patients; and they have now the satisfaction to announce that the long and distressing delay to which patients had been unavoidably subjected exists no longer. At the seine time, how ever, tu taking so bold and decided a step, a vast addition of re sponsibility has been incurred, and upon this and other grounds the Committee earnestly appeal for kind and special considers tiOn at this very important period in the history of the Charity. Every donor of £3l 10s. or upwards at ono time, or at different periods within three jeers, becomes a Governor for life, and may recommend one In patient and eight out-patients annually. Every subscriber of £3 3s. or upwards per annum becomes a Governor, and may recommend one in-patient and eight out patient annually. Every person making a bequest of £lOO or upwards to the Hospital may nominate a Life Governor, and in the event of no such nomination being made the executor first mentioned in the Will is entitled to the privilege of a Life Governor. Subscriptions and donations in aid of the Charity are received by Williams, Deacon, and Co., the bankers of the Hospital ; and by the following bankers:—Barclay and Co.; Cocks, Bidilulph, Comte, and Co.; Drummonds and Co.; Glyn, Halifax, Mills, and Co.; kiatikeye and Co. ; Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Ran sJin and Co.; by F. and J.
