METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL,
for the GRATUITOUS RELIEF of the SICK POOR of
EVERY NATION, 29, CAREY-STREET, LINCOLN'S INN-
FIELDS, and 8, DEVONSHIRE-SQUARE, EISHOPSGATE-
STREET.

TABASURER.—J GURNEY HOARE, K.G.,
The objects of the Metropolitan Free Hospital is to provide, gra-
tuitously, daily medical and surgical advice, and appropriate medi-
cines and treatment, for poor sick persons of all creeds and countries,
without the impediment of a governor's letter of recommendation—a
Perm which too often operates as a bar of exclusion in cases requiring
aid, and still more frequently causes prejudicir' and sometimes even
fatal delay. _ _ _

The efficacy of this principle of unrestricted admission was made
strikingly apparent duffing the prevalence of the recent pestilence,
when numerous cases of diarrhoea and incipient cholera presented
themselves, and, by timely treatment, were prevented from becom-
ing dangerously developed. Since the estabiishment of the Institu-
tion in 1836, upwards of 120,000 persons have been admitted as
patients, and the annual average of this number is on the inert:re,
more than 10.000 cases ha'ing been registercd during the past year.
To meet this increase thc Committee have taken new and more ex-
te.,sive premises in Devoush.e-square. Bishopsgate-street, a locality
contiguous to the poor and densely populated eastern districts of the
metropolis. These districts have hitherto been inadequately supplied
with the means of affording gratv'tous snedical relief, the London Hos-
pital being the or'y one, previous t the establishment of this, conve-
nient to the surrounding population ; and when it is remembered that
the locality spoken of cemorisas Shoreditch, Bethnal-Green, Spital-
fields, Whitechapet, and other places equally populous aaddestltute,
the benefit this hospita, is likely to prove to the poor inhabitants of
these neighbourhoods can scarcely be overated.
Little need be said in the way of appeal on behalf of an Institution
so palpably beneficirl. It is to those whom Providence has blessed
with abundance that the poor look up in their affliction for some
alleviation of their hard lot, and the Committee feel assured that
they do not rely in vain on their fellow-citizens, and the affluent
and humane generally, for the support requisite to maintain this
Hospital.

session o' heably vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun-
dancy, to the latest period human life. Ps operation in cases
of baldness is pecoliarly active ; so that, in numerous instances
wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ItOWLANDS'
