VERMONT BOTANIC INFIR-
MARY, AND
INSANE HOSPITAL.

X. j. WRIGHT opened his lnfirma-
~ ny in this village, in April last, since
which he has administered medicine-not
poison-to several hundred patients. Hav-
ing more business than was anticipated, he
has been obliged TO take a larger house,
and has accordingly taken the large three
story building, 30 by 20, corner of Maine
and Hubbard-streets, opposite Shepherds
Hotel. 1t is occupied exclusively for the
accommodation of the sick, where he may
always be found, except when visiting his
patients abroad, as he is determined 10 de-
vote his whole time and attention to the
science of Medicine.
The INFIRMARY is situated in a central,
airy, and pleasant part of this Aourshing
village; has separate apartments fitted up
for gentlemen and ladies'; and is, in every
respect, convenient for the accommodation
of the sick. The location being central,
near the capital of the State, where stages
are coming in from all directions, the In
Urinary will be easy of access to the south
ern, northern, eastern, western, and central
parts of Vermont, and their vicinities-
Canada, w-Hampshire, New York, &c.
1t will be n home for the sick, the lame,
and the insane, where they can be cured of
all their infirmities, on the true principles
ofphilosophy and science. Ladies, in par
ticular, can be attended on at the lnfirnary,
as rooms will be fitted up expressly for that
purpose-or, at their homes.
DIR. WRIGHT has been acquainted with
| the Thomsonian System of Medical Prac-
ticc for many years; commenced his
! practice i'll this, his native state, then moved
| TO Acton, Massachusetts, where he practiced
two years within twenty-five miles or Bos-
ton, enjoying all the advantages resulting
from an acquaintance with DIR. SAMUEL
THOMSON, the father of the System, aud
the Managers and Practitioners of the
principal Infirmaries and Hospitals in the
city; has cleaned all the good he could
from other Systems of Medicine; and has
had an extensive practice in this village and
vicinity for seven months past, not tooSing
one patient. With these advantages and
qualifications, he hopes he shall continue to
receive, as he is no,O receiving, a large share
of public patronage.
