CITY Infirmary and Dispensary.-Th,


~ 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 as to separate the several classes of patients
viz: white and colored, male and female; and, from
its position and regulations profIers retirement and
privacy as far an 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 dispensary patients 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 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 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. ...-....,.l......5 DO
| Cases of mania potu. -. s. to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly
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
stitution 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 can be received unless
aid be given by corporation and citizens. 1t is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had il
in their power to 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, provision has
been made. ..t..~.ls. .,.,..

BY merely pouring water a teaspoon full of
this aperient, a cooling and grateful efervescing
beverage is obtained resembling soda water TO the
taste, and imparting to the constitution all the bene-
fits Of the celebrated Sezer waters of Germany.
Medical men Of eminence commend in the high
est terms the preparation known as Tarrants Effer-
vescen Seltzer Aperent. Its success in bilious af-
fections, 'spepsa or Indigestion, heartburn febre
disorders, govt, acidity Of the stomach &C.. and all
the various complaints caused by the sudden
changes OF temperature so usual in warm attitudes
has been great that IL has been highly recon-
mended, and has, in consequence, been generally
prescribed; and the most satisfactory results have
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
given such universal satisfaction as Tarrants Effer-
yescent Seltzer Aperent. IL should be freely used
at this season preventative and dispeer Of those
sick headaches languor Of the body loss of appetite,
acidity of the stomach, &C., the forerunners of
bilious febrile attacks. A teaspoon full taken
| regularly every morning never interferes with the
avocations Of the day, and invariably creates an
elasticity Of mind and flow of spirits which gives a
rest to every enjoyment.

D-Asa family medicine, mild and gentle pur.
gative, and purifier of the blood. The general
use Of these celebrated pills throughout the United
States for these forty years past and the strong rec
concentrations they have acquired from all classes
of our fellow-citizens, places them in much more
elevated situation in public estimation, than any
other remedy which has heretofore been introduced
The following are among the many diseases for
which DR.. Dyotts celebrated pills are SO deservedly
distinguished for curing. By their counteracting
properties in removing the bile from the stomach,
they prevent and cure the bilious fever; chils or
bilious cholic; peurisy; dysentery; worms; bilious
vomiting; sick and foul stomach.
By cleansing the bowels and stomach from all inn
purities, they restore the loss of appetite, remove
hatuency cure the headache, habitual costiyeness,
Colds coughs, asthma, epileptic fits, hypochondra,
hystercal complaints, stranguary, gravel, &c.
BY general and copious use, they will be found
very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and govt,
lumbago or pains in the back.
All impurities in the blood yield to their happy
effects, whether proceeding from constitutional all
ment, or from indiscreet ntemperance.
These celebrated pills have been used to verv
great advantage in curing the dyspepsia, or indiges-
ton, bronchitis, liver complaint, &c.
They are an infalble medicine for female com
plants generally and especially for removing those
at certain periods; they possess the eminent advan-
tage over most other purgatives, that, while they
operate gently, they produce neither costveness de-
bilty, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is predispostion to receive
disease from marsh efuvia, or from too copious
of ardent spirits from n vtiated state of the
bile, these pills will assuredly counteract it.
They are highly recommended to travellers by
sea or land, and may be made use of with safety
without change of diet, and in situations where no
exercise can be used They will be found particu-
lary valuable for preventing diseases incidental to
hot climates they deterge and cleanse viscid humors
open distractions and promote the secretion OF
good bile operate as an easy cathartc, as power
| ful diuretic, and as diaphoretic.
| DIR. Dyott, under the strong conviction of the
power Of his pills to relieve the afflicted recon-
| mends the use Of them to those who are in health
as well as the afflicted, at leace once fortnight du-
| ring the spring and summer months, in which he
feels assured those who attend to his advice will
find the benefit they seek.
