quest that we are notified at our Office
when hydrants are to be opened, and
that they be opened so as to prevent
fire alarm at the works. Yours truly,

MEMHIs. October II. 1873.
A. D. Langstaff, President Howard Associa-
ton:
DEAR SIR must and do most ear
nestly protest against the habit
which some of the practitioners have Of
sending their dying patients to the Wal
thall Infrmary. 1t is barbarous and
cruel both TO the patient sent and preju
dicial to the conyalescing patients in the
In6rmary. Irequest that you give no
tice that no more patients will be re-
ceived there who have been placed I'M
der treatment by other physicians. All
will be received, white or colored, who
have had no medical aid prior to their
application for admission.
Yours, respectfully,
L. P. BLACKBURN,
Attending Physician.
/ respectfully call the attention of
physicians to the above letter, and re-
quest them to govern themselves ac-
cordingly. A. D. LANGsTAEF.
