OCTOBER 11, 1856. HOSPITAL for CONSUMPTION and DISEASES of the CHEST (230 Beds, with extensive Out-Patient Department), BROMPTON.—lncorporated by Act of Parliament.—This Hospital is erected in the most suitable and one of the most salubrious suburbs of London, and possesses all the adaptations that modern science can devise. It is surrounded by a capacious garden, with broad terrace walks for the patients, which are thoroughly well drained. The Com mittee of Management, in pointing to the completion of the building as the accomplishment of an object which occupied many years of unceasing labour and anxiety, more earnestly than ever solicit the continuance of that lute rest so strenuously put forth to rear the edifice, to carry it ou in its present exten sive usefulness. The whole of the Wards being thrown open, patients can now be admitted in a few days after they are passed as fit cases ; but in effecting this long-desired facility, the ex penditure is, with the most careful management, increased to about .68,000 per annum. To meet so heavy a responsibility is a matter of intense solicitude ; and the Committee feel it more than ever incumbent upon them to APPEAL to an intelligent and benevolent public, reminding them that the title of which Englishmen may well be proud—" Supported by voluntary con tributions," is still applicable to this Charity, and constitutes its sole endowment. . _ _ A donation of 911.105. makes a Life Governor, and an annual subscription of 91.95. a Governor. Subscriptions and donations in aid of this Charity are received by the following Bankers:—Barclay and Co.; Cocks, Biddulph and Co. ; Coutts and Co. ; Drummonds; Glyn and Co. ; Hankey and Co.; Berries and Co.; Ransom and Co.; Williams and Co. ; and also by F. and J.
