Here patients suffering from every variety of disease and affliction assemble daily and are prescribed for by the visiting physicians and surgeons in consulting rooms specially designed and fitted for out-patient work. This department is second to none in its organisation, the best models having been studied in its arrangement. The advantage is obvious. The arrangements in this department also include a tea bar, which has proved a great boon to patients awaiting their turn for medical attendance. The bar is not worked with any idea of making a profit, but the receipts at the end of the year usually show a pound or two over the expenditure.
Any sum thus made is devoted to giving assistance to destitute patients.
