ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Grav's-inn•road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at ISing's-cross.

Patron—The QUEER.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCIT, N.G.
Treasurer—Edivard kasterman, Esq.

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-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may he 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 atlords 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 rdmit and relieve the distressing eases that
daily present themselves.
