practical pnilanthropc character, being based upon
founded on the simple idea Of enabling persons to
help themselves, OF developing the spirit OF indie.

AMBULANCE CORPS
2. The commissioners have provided two ambu-
lances at Bellevue Hospital for city use These am.
balances are furnished with the necessary accom-.
paniments, and one Is always kept on duty, ready
to start at moments notice to any part Of the CITY,

THE SICK POOR.
3. The commissioners have divided the city into
twelve districts and have appointed one physician to
each district to visit and attend the sick poor The
poor thus receive at their own homes the necessary
medical advice and medicine free Of COST The
physicians are paid by the department..
This Is an important and necessary addition TO the
dispensary SYSTEM and tends to repress the spirit OF
pauperism by keeping the patients within their own
domestic circle instead OF exposing them to afilia-
ton with confirmed paupers.

SIR: Since seeing you a moment last evening,
have read some twenty different papers proclalmng

until something more definite is divuged and the Book
Concern must be holden responsible for it, Now as Dr.
anahan seems to have started these rumors and as all
eyes are anxousy turned toward him for information 1t
seems to me to be the duty Of the Agents to state dis
tinctly over their signatures, whether there has
really been any "defacsOn" or not. They owe 1t to
the Concern, OF which they are the honored Gus
todians; they 1t to the parties
who stand implicated by their agency, and to
the public which manfess much interest In the ques
