Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
Pcnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
Magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admittito its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
R The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
Weekly APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to_ enable them to admit and relieve the distressing, cases that
daily present themselves.

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED IN THE GREAT
frxnfurrioNs OF 1851 AND 1862), is allowed by upwards of
Two Hundred Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective
nvention in the curative treatment of HERNI A.
The use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its effects,
s here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the
ondy, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the
lloe-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease
nd closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn
during sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the
truss, which cannot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the cir-
cumference of the body, two inches below the hips, being
4ent to the manufacturer,
