HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION
AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST: instituted 1?-42;
incorporated 1830.—The Committee of Management have tne
pleasure to announce that his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND,
the President of the Institution, has kindly eonaeuted to take the
shalt at the FESTIVAL, to be held In Commemoration of the
Opening of the New Wing, on Wednesday, the 9th instant, in
Willis'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 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
support. 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.
