in announcing 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 inhrmary has been divided in such
separate the several classes Of patients
VIZ: white and coored, male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, proflers retirement and
privacy far az be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance, and the n6rmary is visited daily at ii o'clock,
a m, by the attending pb ysician and surgeon, who
also devote as much tune as is necessary for pre-
scripiions 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
TERS OF, CHARITY, who reside in the nfrmsry,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten
lion to the nursing and comforts Of the sick
Private patients may enter the inhrmsry under the
special of any one of its directors, but other

the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity of charging patients according to
the following schedule, viz: '"

In every instance the board must be paid weekly
in advance to the sister SUPERIOR who is authorized
to receive it, security for its payment must he
given, the security being responsible citizen of this

1t is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable carry into effect the great design of this
stituon, 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 II is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had it
their power the of humanity through
their dspensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines, with medical and surgical advice.
