LONDON HOE CEOPATH IC HOSPITAL. The six-
teenth annual general meeting of the governors of this
institution was held yesterday in the board-room, Greet
Ormond-street ; Lord Ebury in the chair. The report
of the committee of management, read b 7 Mr. Ellis,
stated that the year 1865 had been an exceptional year ha
the annals of the institution, not only for the hearty and
open-handed support which it receive] at the anniverisry
dinner, but also for the necessity of a greatly increased ex-
penditure. The total number of patients heated during
the year was 5,971, of whom 38.1 were in-patienta.
Compared with the returns of 1864, this showed
a diminution of DS in the number of in-patients,
due to the partial closing of the hospital during the preva-
lence of small pox, which unhappily developed iLself in a
patient, who when admitted did not present any symp-
toms of the dimes. On the other hand there was an in-
crease of no less than 1,561 in the number of outpatieets,
which wax a most satisfactory proof of the value of the
hospital to the sick poor. From the opening of the hospital
in 18.7,0 down to the close of 1565, there kid teen 51,961
patients treated, of which 3,624 were in-patients. Of
the 383 patients received into the institution 11 wring the
past year, 36 remained under treatment at the 31 Decem-
ber (hint, 6 had died, 42 left the hospital unrelieved,
64 were improved, G 7 much improved, and 168, or 484 par
cent. of the whole number fully treated, were completely
restored to health. The exertions of the friends of
homnopathy raised the income of the hospital in 1864 to
the unusnol amount of 2,966/. 16s. 2d., exceeding that of
1664 by 742/. Be. The net proceeds of the dinner were
1,081/. 95., but notwithstanding this addition to the funds
of the hspital the committee had been unable, owing to
the increoased expenditure, to reduce thebalance due to
Sher
banker by more than 43/. 3s. 10d., and a aim of 2611.
7s. 50. remained still outstanding against them. The
report concluded by expressing a hope that, with the im-
provement which had been effected in the &cep:an:iodation
of the hospital, and the liberal contributions of its friends
and supporters, the institution would be rendered still
more useful in curing and relieving diocese. The report
was agreed to. Thanks were voted to the committee of
management, the medical officers, and the lady visitors of
the institution, and the proceedings concluded with the
usual compliment to the chairman.
