Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
Tist Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
Maker circumstances of more than usual urgency.
It is now two years since the last festival.
During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and
general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, a.ld
tiro cost of maintaining the charity has I.een further augmented by
high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
Molding. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
arnount.
A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been
4ePottdeat for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer.

This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the
Vollulous and increasing neighbourhood in which It is situate, is open
as a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur-
base of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen
and ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to
lend patients.
Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
moiety is contributed by the Medical School of University College,
"*boat 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
~_ Nantittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
The disbursements amount to 5,0001. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has be
be provided for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
nual expense of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds ts es-
timated at 1,5001. The number of beds which the Hospital is now
'callable of containing is 200.
The number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were
In-patients, and 508 women in childbirth, attended at their own ha-
bitations ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as
casual applicants.
A clergyman of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but
every patient is allowed to have the advice of a minister of that form
at yeugten which he himself professes.
The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is pro-
lnoted, and much consequent benefit conterred on the public of all
classes by the existence of the School of Medicine, of which this Hos-
pital forms so important a branch.
Tickets, One Guinea each, may be had of the Stewards, of the
Treasurer, at the Tavern, at the Hospital, and at the Office of the
University College, London.
Donations and Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer and
the following Bankers :—Coutts and Co., 59, Strand—London and
Westminster Bank, Bloomsbury Branch—Scott and Co., 1, Caven-
dish-square— Smith, Payne, and Smith, 1, Lombard-street. At the
hospital the Apothecary, the Matron, and Clerk to the Committee
have printed receipts, signed by the Treasurer, ready for delivery to
Itenefaeters.
B enefactors and Subscribers who do not make their payments to
the
Bankers are requested to take printed receipts signed by the
Treasurer.

In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
Prom their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
Plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
