rITY Infirmary and Dispensary.-Th

~ directors of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends, that it 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
to separate the several classes Of patients
viz: white and colored, male and female; and from
its position and regulations, proers retirement and
privacy as far az can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the infrmary 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-
scrptons, 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 nirmary
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
lion to the nursing and comforts of the sick
Private patients may enter the inhrmary under the
special care of any one of its directors but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the instu
ton.
In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they
under the necessity Of charging patients according to
the following schedule, viz
Private patients. ...............S SIS per week.
First class of patients. ...........4 do.
Second class. ...3 do.
Cases of mania potu. SIS 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.
It is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry into effect the great design of this
stltuon, 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 be received, unless
aid be given by our corporation and ciazens 1t is
gratifying however, to the directors to have had it
their power to 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
nfrmary, except smallpox and maniacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made.

Net amount of accumulated premiums, S2l5,57l.
This company is organized on the purely mutual
principle and its business is restricted by the char
ter TO the insurance Of lives, and granting annutles
and endowments.
1t commenced, without CAPT tai, on the LIST Of Feb
ruaryT l543. At the close ofits second year, (3lst
January, l945, it had issued 06G policies, and its
net accumulated premiums was s97 ,272. AT the
termination Of the third year. the 2lst January,
1896 the whole number of policies issued 1000,
and Its net accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, was s2l5 Sill thus exhibiting
increase during the last year of ,O47 policies is
sued, and Sis, 1888 Of accumulated funds, which is
rapidly augmenting by an annual income of $780,
600, growing out of original and renewed premiums
and interest on Investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
in a strong position, and 1t now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Policy-holders participate in the whole of the
profits, there being no proprietary interest or sub
scribed capital to absorb any portion thereof. An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends the first division of profits the LIST
of February, l84S, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits if they survive that period.
The premiums are paid annually, and are as low
as any American company, and lower than the
English, with participation in the profits. Policy
holders are secured by investments in bonds and
mortgages on real estate in the city Of New York
and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned
thereon, and stocks of the State and city of New
York.
The transactions of this company are on the
cash principe--consequent the survivors of par
ties nsuring with it will not be subjected TO the
heavy drawback of accumulated premium notes;
reducing the benefit of the to a small pit
lance.
Persons may effect insurance on their own lives
and the lives of others. A carried woman insure
the life of her husband, which will enure to her sole
use and that Of her children.

mutual life insurance, and illustrating its advan-
tages, with forms Of application, may be obtained at
