Incorporated by Act of Parliament. Thirteen years ago there was no hospital for consumption, nor any shelter to be found for 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 28,508 out-patients have been treated, and in very many cases the disease has been successfully overcome, and so great has been the demand for admission that the names of 165 persons 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 full reliance upon the necessary lucre are of public support, to throw open the whole of the new wing, which accommodates 130 additional patients, and they have now the satisfaction to an nounce that the long and distressing delay to which patients were unavoidably subjected exists no longer. The Committee have also the pleasure to report that the SANATORIUM at BOURNEMOUTH will be opened on the Ist of next month for the reception of convalescent patients. The branch, it is believed, will prove a mast valuable auxiliary, and give completeness to the Charity. In taking these decided atepa a vast increase of responsibility has been incurred, and upon this and other grounds the Committee earnestly appeal for special considera tion at the present very important period. Every donor of 311. 10s., or upwards, at one time, or at dif ferent periods within three years, becomes Governor for life, and may recommend one in-patient and eight out-patients annually.

LETHEBY, Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in the Medical College of the London Hospital. and Chemical Referee to the Corporation of London, dm. &c. dm. " I have frequently had occasion to analyse the Cod Liver Oil which is sold at your establishment. I mean that variety which is prepared for Medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and sent into commerce with the unction of Dr. DT JONOII, of the Hague. " In all eases I have found it possessing the same set of pro perties, among which the presence of etiolate compounds and of iodine in a state of organic combination are the most remark able : in fact, the Oil corresponds in all its characters with that named ' Hulls bnine,' and described as the best variety in the masterly treatise of DR.
