Report of the Committee :
The Committee of Management have pleasure in assuring
the promoters of the Institution, that its career has been
marked by progressive usefulness, in effecting to a conisdera
ble extent, the objects for which it was originated, and that al—
though little publicity has been given to it, upwards of 1,600
nts have been entered upon the books ; and it is with pe-
culiar satisfaction that the Committee are enabled to add, that
the majority of these patients have been either cured or have
received substantial relief.

The Surgeon of the Institution, Mr. Yearsley, has pre;ared
a Report of the medical proceedings at each s u cceedi g half
sear, to which the Committee might refer, were it necessary,
as exhibiting some very remarkable and gratifying cases of
cure.

The Committee, from their own personal observation, can
bear testimony to the great zeal and ability which have uni-
formly been displayed by Mr. Yearsley ; and they consider it
a subject of congratulation, that the indigent, suffering under
the class of diseases to which the Institution is devoted, should
continue to have the advantage of a professional adviser who
not only knows how to appreciate improvements in the depart-
ment of science to which it refers, but who can also judiciously
and skilfully apply them.
To carry out, however, to their ful extent the various bene-
ficial purposes for which the Institution was established, addi-
tional pecuniary aid is required; and the Committee, therefore,
put forth their claim to the benevolent consideration of the
public, in full confidence that it will not be made in vain.
The amount of good which they believe has rewarded their ef-
forts, with the small means hitherto at their command, affords
an assurance that with increased funds the benefits of the
Charity can be most advantageously extended, by not only
affording gratuitous advice to patients, but also supplying such
medicines as their cases require ; whilst to those poor persons
whose maladies resist all efforts of professional skill, suitable
acoustic instruments could be furnished more extensively than
the present state of the funds admit of for their alleviation.

It should be observed, that no efforts have hitherto been
made, no urgent appeal to public sympathy attempted, with a
view to improving the condition of its finances, for a reason
which the Committee persuade themselves must be generally
approved : they consider that it was their duty to show the
necessity of such an Institution before any application was
made in its favour ; so that, in fact, every contribution which
it has heretofore been their pleasing duty to acknowledge, has
been, in the strictest sense of the word, voluntary, because un-
solicited.

Subscription; are received by the following bankers :
Messrs. Cockburn and Co., 4, Whitehall; Mesrs. Drummond
and Co., Charing-cross ; by Messrs. Nisbet and Co., Book-
sellers, Berners-street ; or by Mr. Yearsley, No. 29, Sackville-
street.
