IL commenced, without eapi tai, the LIST Of Feb

net accumulated premiums was s97,2I2 AT the
termination Of the third year. on the 2 lst January,
1886 the whole number OF policies issued was 900,
and its net accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, was s2l5, ,57l; thus exhibiting
an increase during the last year of ,07 policies is-
sued and slls, ,2so OF accumulated funds, which y
rapidly augmentng by an annual income OF s25O,-
900, growing out of original and renewed premiums
and interest on investments. r.. Hrm b. H.
This extraordinary success places the company
in strong position, and II now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Policy-holders participate in the whole OF the
profits there being no proprietary interest or sub
scribed eapital to absorb any portion thereof An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends on the first division Of profits the LIST
Of February, lS4S, 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.

~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends, that t has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated TO add 20 the comforts of the pa
tients. The infrmary has been divided in such
manner separate the several classes OF patients,
viz: white and colored, male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profers retirement and
privacy as far can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the in6rmary Is visited daily at II O'Clock,
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much tnse as is necessary for pre-
scriptions operations, and dispensing Of medicines
for all such dispensary patients as may be IN wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate r-ecuring The services OF the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided aten-
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 nstitu-
ton. ..r .. s. aH ...
In consequence OF the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according TO
the following schedule, VIZ 30 ...r.r...,

In every instance the board must be paid weekly
in advance TO the sister superior, who Is authorized
to receive it, or security for its payment must be
given, the security being responsible citizen Of this
District.
II is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable carry into effect the great design of this In
stitution as from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor as 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 ID
gratifying, however, to the directors TO have had il
in their power to serve the 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
nfmary, except smallpox and manacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made. '
