City-road, E.G., Dec. 29, 1868.
Sits,--Permit me to appeal to your charitable
readers for a contribution in aid of the funds of the
St. Mark's Hospital for fiitula and other disease!
of the rectum. It, has alleviated the sufferings °'
21,500 patients; upwards of 500 are in att •ndauoe,
and 88 anxiously awaiting vacant beds. Of these
there is room for 50, but the funds are not sufg"
cient for more than 34, so that 16 remain enapti'
The committee would gladly keep them filled, but
the inadequacy of the means at their disposal pre-
vents them.
Last year we found it necespary to apply 0,000
of our capital to current expenses; and this yeas
has entailed heavy expenses for painting, white-
washing, and repairs.
In the hope that some of your readers will aid 'l°
in our efforts to maintain, and, if possible, exteocit
the sphere of our operations, I venture on this 313"
peal.
Contributions may be sent to the treasurer, P/'
B. Martin, Esq., 68, Lombard-street, or to tile
here.—l have the honour to be, sir, your very obe-
dient servant,

J. PIKE, Secretary.
