In this connection, the board of lady
managers of the dispensary have is
sued the following letter:
1t is now nearly three years since the board
of lady managers of the st. Paul free dis
pensary through the medium of dramatic
entertainment then given, made an appeal tc
the citizens of st. Paul for the needed funds
to maintain this most excellent and lndis-
pensable charity. That appeal was met by
liberal response by our citizens, and large
part of our Indebtedness was then paid off
At that time the dispensary was occupying
premises furnished through the generosity Of
the stockholders of the st. Paul Medical col
lege. Later in the same year a new corpora
ton was formed and board Of trustees Sc
lected to hold and manage the real estate
and building of the dispensary, which hat
been acquired principally by gift from tbs
former owners of the dispensary premises
The gentlemen who have consented to act a:
trustees are: James ]. Hill, Victor NJ. Wat
kins Daniel r. Noyes, Greenleaf Clark, Viii
liam P. Clough, Henry P. Upham Alber
H Lindeke Dr. Jacob E. Schadle, Nathanie
P Langford.
The detailed management is under the con
troll of a board of lady managers, and of
medical stalf selected from among the bes
physicians and surgeons Of st. Paul.
There is no work of charity in the city O
ST. Paul that is as far-reaching and impor
tant that of the dispensary: The receipts
of the society from contribution and mem
bership during the past year were 81, ,629. "A
During this time we have had 1000 applfca
tions for treatment. There are twenty-five
of the leading physicians and surgeons o
St Paul many OF whom are specialists, VIII
devote to this work sufficient time each da!
to examine and prescribe for all Applicant
for relief-and this service is rendered b!
them without any charge and thus the poor
est of these charitable patients receives al
the care and medical attention that the rich
est citizen of St Paul can command. Ih
