ErITY Infirmary and Dispensary.-Ths

~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing TO its patrons and friends that it has
undergone many material attentions and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts of the pa
tents. The infrmary has been divided in such
separate the several classes of patients,
viz: white and coored, male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profers retirement and
privacy as far az can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance, and the nfrmary il visited daily at 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 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 in6rmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
ton to the nursing and comforts of the sick.
Private patients may the infrmary under the
special OF any of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the insttu-
ton.
In consequence of the heavy expenses 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 S. to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
in advance, to the sister SUPERIOR who is authorized
to receive 1t, 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 to carry into effect the great design of this In
stituion, 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 it
IN their power to 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
nfrmary, except smallpox and manacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made.
The in6rmary will be open for vsters daily in the
afternoon. DIR. THOMAS MILLER,
