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.
