Report of DR.. HIiebrGnd. for the last fire months,
from October %, 1863 TO March u, 1864.
To the President and Trustees of the Queens Hospital:
During the period embraced within those dates,
there have been entered APO new names on the books
Of the hospital. As the proportion Of new applicants
to such whose names have been registered already
before, is less than one to three, the number Of per-
sons that have received hospital relief during that
time, may be fairly set down as exceeding twelve and
even thirteen hundred. The number Of prescriptions
standing in the books, which includes those for house
patients, is 2i46. 10S have been admitted as house
patients during that time. Of these II have died,
2 whites, i Chinanan, ] colored man and 13 natives;
more than one half of these deaths we're caused by
incurable chronic diseases. The greatest number of
house patients, at one time was as: at present we
have 3S.
1 would take the liberty to call the attention Of the
Trustees to the scarcity Of furniture, which is hardly
Sufficient to meet the most urgent necessities. l also
must urgently request you, to take immediate steps
for removing that nuisance which Il have so many
times brought to your notice. The rtmedies applied
have lessened but not finished the evS.
During the last month | have TAXI the RESPONSE
bility to incur a small outlay for Eating in order
the grounds surrounding the hos.ital. The road
originally laid out from the gate t. The house, had
never been filed up properly; it wa so uneven and
broken up that a person with a fract red limb could
pain. What light work had been expended on it originally, had
long ago been washed away by the foods which every rainy
small bridget watercOurse, to allow passage to the hood-water,
solidly lined with coral stones which we found ON the premises.
1t is my intention to line this road with late palms, so as TO
form in course Of time, a fine shady avenue which must become
a great ornament to the premises. As the Minister of the 1nte-
stones were found on the land, the whole expense is limited to a
few plsnks for the bridge. and the carriage of black sand,
sum you would grant a small sum for a ten. porary fence to pro-
tect a little grove Of louiu and cocoanut palms which l am
about to plant. I should consider the money we'll invested.
Respectfully submitted, VIM hLLEBRAHD, N. D.
