FEBRUARY 10, 1855:

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION
AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST: Instituted 149;
incorporated 1650.—The Committee of Management have the
pleasure to announce that Hie Grace the Duke of RICHMOND,
the president of the Institution, has kindly consented to take the
ehait at the FESTIVAL to be held tu Cotumemoratiou of the
opening of the New Wing, on Weduesdey, the 9th of May next,
in Willie's Rooms, St. James's.

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 blues the opening of the
first portion of the new building in 1848, no less than 3,11t15 In-
patients and 28.304 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 10 persons,
upon an average, are always upon the books as unable to 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
support, to throw open in the course of a few weeks the whole of
the new wing, which will accommodate 130 additional patients;
that, in taking this decided step, avast addition of responsibility
is about to be incurred, and upon this ground the Committee
earnestly appeal for kind and special consideration at the pre-
sent very important period in the history of the Charity.
