The Committee, in expressing their earnest hope that upon this occasion the friends of this Charity will give their influential sup port and attendance, beg to notice, that thirteen years ago there was no Hospital for Consumption, nor any shelter to be found for the victims of a national disease ; that since the opening of the tiret portion of the new building in IM6, no less than 306 in. patients and 2/4.306 out-patients have been treated, and in many instances the disease has been successfully overcome; that so great is the demand for admission, the names of 165 persons. upon an average, are always upon the books as unable:o be taken in for want of room ; that this painful circumstance, continually pressing itself upon the notice of the Committee, has determined them, in full reliance upon the necessary increase of public s upport. to throw open the whole of the new wing, which accom modates 130 additional patients; that, in taking this decidfid step, avast addition of responsibility is incurred, and upon this ground the Committee earnestly appeal for kind and special con sideration at the present very important period in the history of the Charity.
