EFiendieSls and Su1erteS
The establishment of st. Nincenfs Hos
pital, in November last, as q refuge for the
homeless and friendless overtaken by
disease, was not only a charitable but a
wise measure on the part Of the city,
Through 'he agency of the Nashville Med
zeal College, the expense of this hospital,
aside from the medicines furnished, is only
one dollar per day for each patient, and
the care bestowed upon the miserable I'M
fortunstes who find their way there would
do credit to any Institution of the kind in
the country. rst4sf
Yesterday il was visited and Inspected
by DIR. Mitchell, the Health Officer. in
company with the Mayor and CITY Mar
shall. The hospital building, No. l59
South College street is a two story struc-
tIlre, with a basement, and extends a con-
siderable distance back from the street. On
the north side is a long yerandah, and the
doors leading to the apartments are con-
structed with view to ample ventilation
The floors of the rooms in which the pa
tients lie, are remarkably clean and white,
and there is an air of neatness about the
whole place that would hardly be looked
for.
There are al present not more than
twenty patients, nearly all of whom are
paupers. We saw only two white women
among them, but there were number of
white males under treatment. Among the
colored patients, scrofula seems TO be an
almost universal disease One old woman
was stone blind with it, and her cheeks
seemed about to fall from the bones on
which they rested, 20 far had the disease
advanced.
A negro child, about two years of age,
with the most intelligent countenance We
ever saw upon one Of its race, was suffering
from terrible burn, and the physicians
said both of its legs would have to be am
putated in order to save its life. The
mother was present and doing all she could
for the little sufferer
The Mayor expressed his entire satisfac
ton at the manner in which the hospital
is being conducted. DR.. Lindsey and DR..
Briggs, with the corps of attending ply
sicians, and the kind matron, Mrs. Teney,
are making it all that could be desired, and
the economical plan on which it is es-
tablished will doubtless secure its perms-
nence az an institution of the city.
