CITY Infrmary and Dispensary.-

A lnufmdTy anu
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends, that has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add TO the comforts OF the pa
tents. The inhrmary has been divided N such
manner as TO separate the several classes Of paeots
vlz white and colored, male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profers retirement and
privacy as far Al can be wished. .... .t.-.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the infrmary ia 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 dispensary patients as may be IN walt
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services Of the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the iDirmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
ton to the nursing and comforts Of the sick. u
Private patients may enter the IL trmary under the
special care of any one of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the institu
ton.
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:
Private patients. .S5 per week
First class OF patients. ..........4 do. .....
Second class. ....-,......-.....3 do.
Cases of mania potu. S. 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
gven the security being responsible citizen of this
District. s.. s...
1t is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable carry into effect the great design Of this IN
sttulion 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 can be received unless
aid be given by our corporation and citizens 1t is
gratifying, however, TO the directors to have had Il
in their serve 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, no provision has
been made
The nfrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. Or. THOMAS MILLER,
