Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
under 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 has -seen 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 for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer.

Thificharity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the
IPoPstions and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
__ras a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pur-
se of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen
and ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to
_d Patients.
vr ho annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
Moiety is c.ntributed by the Medieal School of University College,
'about 2,5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
.eeraretittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
The
disbursements amount to 5,0101. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has to
De Provided for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
hi expense of supporting the occupants of 50 additional beds Is es-
naated at 1,500/. The number of beds which the Hospital Is now
,ePable of containing is 200.
The number ofatients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
Veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
Pointments. Excesses are
always injurious; the gitt, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
4,_bused.the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
S? the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
uthe nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
nproductive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
any other to which it is subject.
A This work contains an accurate and cemplete account of the
theirna and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
irelative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
fieettiree the closest attention and study, for what subject can
f more imeortance than the preservation of the health
tie 01 the physical capabilities of which every man should
sictint ebsuessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy
;earlof excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
y life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
ra their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
ir'rlYing to a qualified phyeician for relief. Shame and the dread so
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
!or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the caases of
B.sti, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
.tabY characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
Mt,_4allacations that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes-
pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
ERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
,e„rtir3'. and the great extent of his practice far many years is a
'',4,ll:matee for his professional expertenee, which has reference almost
'"lpuelY to the treatment of these diseases.
