CITY Inf,rmary and Dispensary.-Th

| ~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to Its patrons and friends that has
| undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated add to the comforts of the pa
| tents. The inhrmary 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, profers retirement and
privacy as far al can be wished D..
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the n6rmary s visited daily at III O'Clock
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
| also devote much time as is necessary for pre-
scriptions operations, and dispensing Of medicines
for all such dspensary patients 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 infrmary
conduct its affairs and give their undivided aiten-
| ton to the nursing and comforts OF the sick
Private patients may enter the infrmary under the
special care of any of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the institu-
| ton.
In consequence Of the heavy ex penses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according
the following schedule viz:
Private patients. ....s5 per week
| First class OF patients. ...........4 do.
second class. ....., ............3 do.
Cases of mania potu. IS to $40 do.
| 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.
1t is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry INTO effect the great design of this In
shtuon, as, from the heavy expenses incurred, they
cannot extend their charities to the poor as far as
they could wish Thus fac 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 have had it
IN their powerto serve the of humanity through
their dspensary 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
lnhrmary, except smallpox and manacs. For
these, the directors regret to say provision has
been made. ". 10 .. ]
