Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
tinder 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, and
the cost of maintaining the charity Ins been further augmented by
high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
building. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
amount.
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
dependent fur its maintenance on it loan from the Treasurer.

•

This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the
PoPtilons and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur-
Pose of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen
and ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to
send Patients.
Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
a Moiety is eintributed by the Medical School of University College,
Iboat 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
,-, Tae
as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
'Lae disbursements amount to 5,0301. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has to
Provided for every year.
Leda and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
taw expense of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds is es-
ated at 1,500/. The number of beds which the Hospital is now
-*Fable of containing is 200.
be number of patients wits last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were
bgatients, and 504 women in childbirth, attended at their own ha-
ca;_,tlnna ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as
aPPlioants.
everyiklergy of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but
of religion
is allowed to have the advice of a minister of that form

_ Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
*ell. which C4VCTS the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
.an d its true source iu every instance disclosed, in how inaay could
t
1 be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
;:fl„,,atineuts. Excesses are always injerious ; the gift, which when
in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
teabused • the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
ethe constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
ti?aitture and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
i'e productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
anY other to which it Is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
b.
.44tenlY nd Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
relataive conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires ea
olr the closet attention and study, for what subject can
alyd more importance than the preservation of the health
be et the physical capabilities of which every man should
ijemeased. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
s of excessive Indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
,1! early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from, their Invariable consequences, unwisely entertain,: a fear of ap-
P'Ying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
quently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him sad prevent his seeking
.oaaiiistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
rgeta
that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
-4,,a15.1y characterise the intelliaent and practical physician, and to the
.1.:.,°1,e al man who can show by posse•slon of the requisite legal
,40:uileations that lie is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes-
.Pursults, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
EAT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
'utY,ttand the great extent of his practice for many years is a
aolei 'e for his professional experience, which has reference almost
Y to the treatment of these diseases.
