T,IrY Infirmary and Dispensary.-Th


~ directors of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to It's patrons and friends, that II has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts of the pa
tents. The iufrmaTy has been divided in such
manner Us separate the several classes of patients
VIZ: white and colored male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profers retirement and
privacy far as can lie wished.
Two resident physicians in constant attend
ancc, and the lnhrmary Ia visited daily at II O'clock
u. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote much time is necessary for pre-
scriptiOns, 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 nfrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
lion to the nursing and comforts of the sick
Private patients may enter the n6rmary under the
special care of any 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 are
under the necessity of charging patients according
the following schedule, viz:
Private patients. nts................S5 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, the sister superior, who Is authorized
TO receive il, 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 carry into effect the great design of this
sttuon, 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 teen can be received, unless
aid be given by corporation and citizens 1t is
gratifying however, to the directors to have had 1t
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
infrmary, except smallpox and manlacs For
these the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made
The nfrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DR.. THOMAS MILLER,
