REPORT OF TIE CRY HOSPITALS SINCE THEIR Or
oANIzATroy, SHJwNa THE HEALTH OF THE CITY
DURING THAT PERIOD. Thu une1ampled good health
enjoyed by our city this year has been owing in
great measure to the sanitary regulations adopted
by the Board OF HEALTH under tho supervision of
Dr.. George S. Pelzer City Registrar. The nor
trary reports published weekly have shown g
Gradual diminution in the number Of deaths which
aro confined principally to the freedmen, the
whites having suffered to comparative small e1-
tent There is perhaps, no truer estimate Of the
health of the city than the Official reports of the
condition Of the City Hospitals-the number Of
patients received and rao number of deaths that
have occurred since their reorganization to the
30th OF October.
The Mazyck-s.rset Hospital was organized under
Dr.. F. P. Porcher, January 1st, 1866 For some
time this vas the only hospital in the city, but the
Ropor Hospital was subsequently rccpened, and
the number Of patients having increased it was
deam d advisable to create branch at the Tucker
House. low known as the Hampstead Hospital.
This latter was opened and organized June 18th,
1857, under Dr.. F. P. Porcher, that in Mazyck-
street remaining in charge Of Dr.. 5. c. Brown.
Since the opening OF the Maz ;ck-atreet Hospital
73O whites and 1899 freedmen have been received,
Of this rumbe- 69 whites and 49, freedmen have
died, LEAVING total OF 1886 patients that havo re-
covered. The Hampstead Hospital has been in
operation but few mouths, anu from the 18th OF
june to tho 90th Of October the returns show 2t5
whites and colorol pat,clts r~ccivoa y tlat
