Portland Dispensary.


At the annual meeting of the Dispensary
held in April, the following board of mana
gers were chosen for the ensuing year; Oliver
Gerrish, Joseph c. Noyes, VIM. Willis, James
7. McCobb, I. G. Hersey, Rensselaer, Cram,
Henry B. Hart, Eben Steele and Andrew
Spring. Mr.. Gerrish was reelected Chairman
of the Board; Mr.. Noyes, Treasurer; DR.. S.
w. Weeks, Secretary; Attending Physicians,
Doctors ii. N. Small, A. S. Thayer and S. K.
Weeks; Consulting Physicians Doctors Dana,
Robinson and Foster.
1t appears by the report of the attending
Physicians that the whole number Of patients
who had received the benefit of the Institu-
ton during the preceding year, was 760, of
whom 20 were treated at their homes, the re-
mainder at the rooms of the Institution. OF
the patients 251 were children under 15 years
of age-of the remainder 139 were males and
$40 females, some of whom were in advanced
age.
We are sorry to say that this excellent In
stitution does not receive the patronage it de-
serves from our citizens. The amount of re-
lief and comfort it administers to the poor,
intitles it to place among our best charities,
ate with the substantial benefit it confers up
on class which is perpetually with, and con-
stantly appealing to us. The Society makes
no popular demonstration, no loud proclama-
ton, but it goes noiselessly about doing good.
And with the sma II means at its command
it does more good than any other benevolent
institution in the city. The attending physi-
clans steadily and faithfully discharge the
onerous duties OF their Office, without the
slightest remuneration, and no officer receives
any compensation. But there is rent to pay
and medicines which in most cases have to be
furnished sratuitously, and contingent ex-
penses which cannot be avoided. The fund is
very small and not sufficient to meet the just
demands upon such an Institution. What
noble endowments have responded to appeals
for such establishments in Boston and many
other large cities; what a field IS here for gen.
erous action. 1t is repetition of the case Of
that unprejudiced Samaritan who bound up
the wounds of the friendless stranger, and
ministered to his needs.
The payment of $25 constitutes a life mem
Der, and of 50 year an annual member. Will
not our citizens freely contribute one of those
sums to bind the wounds and heal the dis
eases of large class of distressed and suffer
ing poor who are not strangers, but our own
people?" A most worthy association appeals
earnestly to your sympathy. Contributions
may be handed to the treasurer or to Mr..
Oliver Gerrish.

LIFE INSURANCE. 1t is now universally
conceded by all who have given the subject
any consideration, that no investment can be
made for the benefit of ones family, which can
be relied upon with so much certainty as
policy of life insurance. About twenty life
companies are represented in this State,
among which is the Continental of New
York represented by Mr.. J. r. Clafln. This
company has already given unmistakable ev-
idence of the wisdom and prudence of it's
management. 1t is emphatically R9e
company having done more than double the
amount of business ever accomplished at the
same age by any other company in this coun-
try or Great Britain. 1t has on its books of
insured, the names of leading business men
and statesmen, from Maine to Oregon.
While its growth has been unprecedented it's
business has been managed with so much re-
gard to economy that it's ratio of claims and
expenses to income has been over four per
cent. below the average of all companies
We believe it can offer to persons contempla-
ting insurance the most favorable terms and
unquestionable security. Ya-s
Rev. DR.. Fish of Newark, N. j., who has
written several popular and widely circulated
works upon life Insurance, says of this COM
pany:
know every man in it, and every piece of
timber in its superstructure; and there is not
sounder company in the world / am in
sured in it myself. Money put in there is as
safe as in the Bank of England and far more
protitably invested. This company is prod
ICY in the way of success. In years time it
virtually arrived at full grown maturity.
The reason is two-fold; it has men at the bot
tom who are known as first class, honest. com
prehensive, and driving men, who can be
trusted. lNE
The New York Evening Express says: t
Those learned in Life Insurance matters are
perfectly astounded at the triumphal course of
the Continental of New York and although
its affairs are conducted in a quiet and unos-
tentatious way, there is vitality and energy
in the management which proves wonderfully
effective. From circular lately issued by this
company, we find that the amount of their
business has more than doubled during the
last six months; and in doing this, they have
refused all but hrst class risks, of which fact
the writer had practical personal illustration
few days since. Indeed, the able and pru-
dent manner IN which its affairs throughout
are managed, must be source of general sat
lsfaction to its numerous policy holders, all of
whom are entitled to participate equally in its
profits, and to whom every advantage is grant
ed, consistent with the interests of ali con-
cerned.
The success of the Continental thus far is
full guarantee for its future prosperity and
stability.
