GNITY Infirmary and Dispensary.-The
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends that 1t has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated TO add the comforts of the pa
tients. The inhrmary has been divided in such
manner 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 - can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the nfrnary is visited daily at ii O'clock
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as Is necessary for pre-
scrptions 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 infrmary,
conduct its AFFAIRS and give their undivided atten-
ton to the nursing and comforts of the sick.
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
ton.
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

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 carry into effect the great design of this
stitution as from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor far
they could wish. Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been be received unless
aid be given by 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 maniacs For
these, the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made.
The infrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DIR. THOMAS MILLER,
