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 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, proiers retirement and
privacy as far az can be wished
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the infrmary 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 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 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. SIS per week.
First class of patients. ...........4 do.
Second class. ...................3 do.
Cases Of mania potu. IS to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
in advance to the sister superior, who is authorized
to receive 1t, security for its payment must be
gven 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
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 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
nirmary, except smallpox and maniacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made.
