Magruder Mrncaster, N. D.. secretary,
| makes the following statement:
I'm making a. report Of the Woman's Dis
| pensary for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1895, we desire TO call particular atten-
| ton to the large amount OF medical and
surgical relief that has been afforded the
poor people of that section out of the small
| amount OF money allowed by the District
Commissioners, together with the slight
aid from donors.
THE llowance, ,from the Commissioners
Is $500 and the amount received from
other sources is J362 2.23, making a total
OF Ss62.23.
.'Out of little less than that we have
managed to COMPOUND and give away
4.099 prescriptiots; treat 1913 male and
LOGO female medical cases; 81 male and
lS9 female surgical cases; made SIC ex-
tcrnal applications, and attended 3,56S :
patients.
This has been accomplished only by the
strict supervision of the board OF directions.
No salaries ire paid. with the exceptionofa

"while We have sufficient wards fos
the accommodation of many who require
hospital treatment, it is source of great
regret that we have been compelled to close
the hospital portion for several years. ow-
ing to lack of funds to pay for nurse hire
and provide proper food.
The amount required for that pur
pose is SO small compared with the great
amount of relief that may be afforded the
many sick women and children who daily
make applications that We earnestly re-
quest that the Appropriation be Increased |
to 81 ,OOO.'
