Medical men OF eminence commend in the high

disorders govt acidity of the stomach, &c. and all

invariably followed. In torpid state Of the liver
its action upon the system has been so beneficial
that its energies have been revived and its healthy
tone restored.
No preparation has ever been introduced to the
notice of the medical profession or public which has

CITY Iniirmary and Dispensary.-Th,

II
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing TO its patrons and friends that il has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts of the pa
tents. The infrmary has been divided in such
manner to separate the several classes of patients
viz: white and colored, male and female and from
its position and regulations, proilers retirement and
privacy as far az can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the nhrmary is visited daily at III O'Clock,
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as Is necessary for pre-
scriptions, operations, and dispensing of medicines
for all such dspensary patients as may be in watt
ing Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services of the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
ton to the nursing and comforts of the sick.
Private patients may enter the infrmary under The
special care of any one of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the insttu-
| ton. ~
In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according
the following schedule, viz:
Private patients. IS per week.
| First class OF patients. ........4 do.
l. Second class. ................3 do.
| Cases of mania potu. So to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
in advance, toehe sister superior, who is authorized
to receive it, or security for its payment must be
given the security being responsible citizen of this
District.
1t is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry into effect the great design of this
stitulion as from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor far as
they could wish. Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been be received unless
aid be given by our corporation and-citizens. 1t is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had il
in their power to the cause Of humanity through
their dispensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines, with medical and surgical advice
| All classes of diseases will be admitted into the
infrmary except smallpox and maniacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, provision has
| been made. .. ... E...
The infrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DR.. THOMAS MILLER,

This company is organized on the purely mutual
principle and its business is restricted by the char

and interest on investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
in strong position, and 1t now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Policy-holders participate in the whole Of the
profits, there being proprietary interest or sub
scribed capital TO absorb any portion thereof. An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends on the first division of profits the Isl
Of February, IS45, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits il they survive that period.
The premiums are paid annually, and are as low
as any American company, and lower than the
English with participation in the profits. Policy
holders are secured by investments in bonds and
mortgages on real estate in the city of New York
and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned
thereon, and in stocks Of the State and city OF New
York.
The transactions of this company are on the
cash principle-consequentl the survivors of par
