TN directing your attention to the establishment of the PRO-
VINCIACMBDICA L BENEVOLENT SOCIETY, the
Committee beg to offer a few remarks respecting its origin and
objects.
The important tank in the Medical World which the Provin-
cial Medical and Surgical Association-has now attained—the
great number of Members of which it consists—the benefits
which have resulted from its Anniversary &feelings, not only in
the advancement of Science, but in the ene%ial of social inter-
course, and the More keneral diffusion friendship end kindness
through all ranks of the profession n the provinces, and the
facilities for considering and accoru fishing any in:portant and
general object, which are affoi de y the annual reunion. of so
many professional-men from all its of the kingdo.-n, induced
some Members of the Association to conceive, that by its instru-
mentality the formaticin of a Benevolent Society, which might
eventually comprise amongst its Members the great majority of
provincial practitioners, might be the most Beadily and effectually
accomplished.
The outline of a plan, having this object in view, was submit-
ted to the Association by Dr. BARON, at the meeting held at
Bristol, in 1833. At the second meeting, held at Biiiiiinghain,
to 1831, a Committee was appointed to consider the practicability
of carrying the design inti effect, consisting of the following
Members :

Dr. Jeffreys, of Liverpool, Mr. Ransorne, of Manchester,
Mr. Wickendemßitmingham, I Dr. Evans, of Birmingham,
&kr. Wilson. of Manchester, I Dr. Booth, of Birmingham,
Dr: Baron, of Cheltenhain, I Mr. Williams, of Holywell.
To whom were afterwards added,
Dr. Jas. L. P,rds"lev,- of Manchester, and Dr. Braudreth and
Dr. Seott,.• of biverpool.
At the Third Anniversary, held at the Radcliffe Library, at
Oxford, in July last, a very satisfactory Repoftwas presented to
the Association, strongly recommending its adoption, alid de-
scribing, its objects and the principles upan which they proposed
that it should be conducted. This recomineudation wa. vvry
favouritbly reserved and unanimously adapted by the Associa-
tion, and it was resolved,

" That the original Conimittee be reappointed with ttrili,ilited
powers to .form Sub-Committees in the several-T(4ns, sO 'Xi To
enable them to carry into effect their recommendation, and that
they be requested to report their proceedings, to the uext Anni-
versary Meeting.
• "'that tint fotlowing Towns be nominated as fit place's, for the
formation of-Committees, viz., Cheltenham, .Liverpool, Man-
chester, Birmingham, Warwick, Oxford, Bristol, Bath, Reading,
Worcester, Herefiird, Chich..:sier, and Monmouth. and that Chel-
tenham be- fixed upon as the plow where the Central Committee
shall be formed.

" That SubAcriptions be forthwith entered into, and that Dr.
WILLIAM Co-NoLt.r, of Cheltenham, be appointed Treasurer
pro tempore."

It was recommended by the Commitiee that a Society be
formed to be called the " PaortNut AL MEDICAL BENEVOLENT
SOCIETY," and that a Fund be accumulated by Subscriptions
and Donations, applicable to the following purposes :
I. To the relief of Contributors who may he unable, through
sickness or casualty, to continue in the pertorinance of their pro-
fessional duties.
2. To the relief of the Widows and Children of Contributors.

3. To relief under temporary and unavoidable difficulties.
4. As temporary Loans at tha discietion of the Committee.
It was also proposed and carried into effect by the preceding
Resolutions, that Local Committees should be formed, consist-
ing of two or more Members, who shall select amongst them-
selves a President and Secretary, who shall regulate and trans.
act all hilliness in the District assigned to them,—investigate
and report upon all applications submitted to the Central Com-
mittee, and, in cases of emergency, grant immediate relief, to an
amount to be determined, from funds placed in the hands of the
Secretaries for that purpose, and also communicate With the
Central and other Committees,—and that a general report of
the proceedings of all the Committees be submitted to the As-
sociation at each Anniversary Meeting.
That any Medical Practitioner, whether a Meinber of the As-
sociation or NOT, who has contributed not less than Is. Od. for
at least five years preceding his application, shall be entitled to
relief.

The objects of this Society, it will at once be seen, are to al-
leviate the anxieties of a laborious and precarious profession—
to afford solace under hopeless prospects—and to prevent the
dejrradation of appealing to individual charity ~
There Must always be members of our profession whose
HEALTH, TALENTS, and INDUSTRY are their chief dependence,
and who, from the very nature and exigencies of their profes-
sion, are unable, for a lung series of years, to accumulate any
adequate provision against future contingencies, and to those
who are thus situated it cannot but be a matter of deep consola-
tion to feel assured, that (whatever may be their individual
fate) by a small annual contribution on their own part, aided by
the general philanthropy of their brethren, a refuge from at
least ACTUAL POVERTY, will ever bo within the reach of those
who are dear to them.

To the more fortunate members of the profession, on the other
hand, who are far removed from the contemplation of any per-
sonal advantage from the establishment of this Society, it can-
not but be delightful to reflect upon the ,rreneral security and
peace of mind which, by a trifling and unfelt sacrifice, they have
been instrumental in promoting.
Experience has fully proved the efficacy and advantages of
similar societies, even upon a small scale, we therefore feel that
we should neglect our duty did we not to endeavour to impress
upOn'your Mind the more extensive benefit's which the present
Society is calculated to produce, especially as the great number
of Towns where Committees have been already formed, and
the many distinguished individuals who compose them, afford
every reasonable hope that it has been placed on a substautial
basis, and will soon attain that degree of importance which:it so
justly merits.
The Committee; therefore, trust that it will receive vpur cor-
dial support,-,ind that you will endeavour to promote its success
in your immediate sphere; and it is hoped that many benevolent
individuals, unconnected with the medical profession, vet grate-
ful for the blessings which they have derived front. th:-, exercise
of MEDICAL SKILL, as well as from motives of general philan-
thropy, will materially assist in its advancement, an that in no
long time it will Le sufficiently matured, not only to accomplish
the primary objects of its establishment, Lot to iifford, in many
instances, permanent assistance,—to rescpe from, poverty, in all
cases, the aged and infirin—to diffuse peace and comfort through
their declining yeai.s, and illuminate, with 'fraternal sympathy,
their dark and cheerless passage to the grave.
The following Contributions have •been received, and the
Committee situated in this place will be happy to receive from
you Donations and Subscriptions, and the names of those who
Wray be willing. to become' Contributors.
By order of the Committee,.
Tilos. JEFFREYS:M.D., President.
W. SCOTT, Secretary.
