ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCIL K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This wa,s the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of vovernors' 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 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 averk,,,e, than 0,0(10 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.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas'erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and
Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Ilerries and Co. ; Ransom and
Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and co. Glyn
and Co. ; Jones Loyd and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; Denison
and Co.; W lliams, Deacon, and Co. ; Overend, Gurney, and
Co. ; Nisbet and Co. ; Messrs. J. Barred and Co., Liverpool
and at the Hospital.
