This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of eovernors' letters. it is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
putted by sickness and disease, t d is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into 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.

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 reheve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
