RIDAY EVENING

DESTITUTION AND SICKNESS.
The affluent and benevolent are earnestly solicited to aid
the efforts now making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL
FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's Inn-road, a charity established for the
Relief of the Foreigner, the Stranger, the Friendless, and the Outcast,
when in Sickness or Disease, who are here received so far as the
means of the Institution will permit.
Neither patronage nor letters of recommendation are necessary:
were it otherwise, the wretched beings for whose benefit the Institu-
tion is intended would not know how or where to obtain them, and
while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability,
perish unheeded and unknown ; a melancholy instance of which
kind gave rise to the founding of this charity. A large debt, which
is now gradually being reduced, still encumbers the operations of
the Committee, but confiding in the spirit and benevolence of an
English public in support of such a charity, they fearlessly continue
their efforts to meet tile urgent appeals daily made at their gates by
the most miserable and wretched of the human race.
