anil:,1118 was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
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-
Dc.nied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting Into its wards a very large proportion of
Inc casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
lfunds 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.
,The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to Admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
