TITY InhrmaFy and Dispensary.-Tht
~ directors Of ths institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends, that II has
undergone mary material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts of the pa
tents The inhrnary has been divided IN such
manner TO separate the several classes Of patents
VIZ. white and coored, male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profiers retirement and
privacy as far 90 can be wished. r-y
Two resident physicians arc in constant attend
ance, and the n6rmary s visited daily al III o'clock
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, whf
also devote as much time as Is necessary for pre-
scrptioLs operations, and dispensing OF medicines
for all such dspensary patienis as may be in wait
ing Besides these ATTENDANTS, the directors have
been fortunate in securing The services OF the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the phrmary
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten
tion to the nursing and comforts Of the sick 49,
Private patients may enter the inhrmary under the
special care Of any of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations Of the institu
uon. rn,a r...a.
In consequence Of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according c
the following schedule, VIZ;
| Private patients. s................s5 50 per week
First class OF patients. s............4 do.
Second class. ss.......,..........-3 do.
Cases Of mania potu .....S S. to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly
in advance, the sister SUPERIOR who is authorized
TO receive il, security for lis payment must bt
given the security being responsible citizen of lhi
District 4: -s tEsl .a
It is to be regretted that the directors have beer
unable to carry into effect the great design Of this In
suuton as, from the heavy expenses incurred, they
cannot extend their charities to the poor az far a,
they could wish. Thus far the receipts from patients
have DOT met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been can be received unless
aid be given by our corporation and citizens. IL is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had il
their power 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.
Ali classes Of diseases viii be Admitted into tho
infrmary, except smallpox and maniaes. Foi
these the directors regret TO say provision has
been made. ID ~ e . gls
