Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Please allow us to call your attention to
the recently chartered Homeopathic Grace
Hospital society, to be located in New Ha-
VENTS needs and claims.
To meet the demands growing out of the
increasing patronage of homeopathy, ho-
meopathic hospitals have been established
in different states of the Union and are
meeting with the greatest success in caring
for all the departments of the sick, and as
result are receiving ample financial aid
The necessity of having a homeopathic
hospital in Connecticut or q place where
the patrons of homeopathy could be cared
for has been felt for many years.
To meet this demand the homeopathic
physicians of the state have been trying in
vain for years to secure certain privileges
in the old established hospitals whereby
who needed the superior advantages which
hospitals furnish and yet desired to con-
tinue homeopathic treatment.
Their patrons all over the state have
urged that if such rights cannot be grant
ed in hospitals under allopathic control in
view of the fact that they are equally tax
ed to support these various hospitals,
there should be distinctive hospital es-
tablishment, where homeopathic physi-
clans, who are willing to bear their share
of the burdens in caring for the sick, can
treat patients who desire their form of
treatment.
These claims have been placed before
our legislative bodies, and, as q result, we
have secured this charter; and the state
has also promised to give US twenty thou
| sand dollars ($20, O00) toward starting this
hospital plant, provided its friends will
raise an equal amount. In harmony with
the spirit of this charter the society has
been thoroughly organized for it's work.
One of the finest places in New Haven
| has been purchased for the hospital plant,
and it is our purpose to make it one of the
most thoroughly equipped hospitals in New
England.
It is our purpose, also, to incur no ex-
pense in its construction or management
that we have not funds to meet
In establishing this hospital its in.
corporators and friends do not contem.
plate conflicting in the least with the
workings or prosperity of the old estab.
lished hospitals.
They are doing large and noble work
| and deserve due support, but there is
| ample field for us all in this work of char
| ity for suffering humanity. Science is de,
veloping for us new theories in regard to
the pathology of disease and giving to us
new agents for it's cure. Well regulated
hospitals are doing much toward establish
| ing the truth of these scientific claims, and
are the only places where the many can
| avail themselves of the best methods OF
treatment Certainly no truer charity can
be bestowed than caring for the sick; and
| If the lf-sacrifcing physician is willing
| to give his services for the relief of the
afflicted, il is due from others that q place
be provided where the ailing ones can be
| cared for.
For this purpose we appeal to you fol-
| aid and inasmuch as we have purchased
| a place for our hospital, and the contribu-
ton from the state is contingent upon ou1
raising an equal amount, our appeal is the
more urgent Large sums have been
pledged, but we desire that all Of its
friends shall contribute something toward
the fund. Any sums you may feel dis
! posed to give toward starting or funding
this very deserving enterprise, either
large or small, will be most thankfully re-
ceiyed.
Our authorized solicitor will call upon
you, who will take any subscriptions yor
have to make, or you can send your con
tribution to any of the directors, or to ou1
treasurer, John A. Richardson, cashier Of
the Yale National bank.
