It Is mentioned, In the able article under the heading
''The Charities Of New York." that the city Of New
York s taxed this year for the support OF Its
dispensaries, and among those receiving city and
State aid is mentioned "The New York Dispensary
for Diseases Of the Throat and Chest.n This is an
which beg you kindly correct as an act of
justice to this dlspensary and the benevolent
subscribers to It's fund. The New York Dispen-
sary for Diseases Of the Throat and Chest,
with which institution have been connected both
as trustee ana physician In charge, from its very

ported and has been carried 70 Its present successful
condition by the voluntary contributions OF benevo-
lent persons especially by NUMBERS Of the trustees,
by patients OF mine and BY friends. We shall pub
sh list OF those donors In our next annual report
Finally, ought to mention that an appropriation
OF $4,000 for this institution passed last year both
branches OF the City Council; the order was ap-
proved OF by the Mayor, and the same entered into
the Tax Levy, but was lost at the last moment
through the evil influence OF some individual deter
mined to deprive the poor OF the benefit OF this
much-needed charity. Its friends, however, came
nobly to the rescue, and hope for better success
In our future EFFORTS. Respectfully your servant,

jority doto read and consider King James version
OF the Old and New Testament. Now say the read.
