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-
panied by sickness and disease, ad is now of sufficient
rnapiitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
the casual sick
capable of admiofttin this

funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creature:4. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-paiiente a
week.

EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,

The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the

has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom

rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
