Following is the report OF Mr. Taylor;
Richmond. Va. October 8. 1899.
TO the Stockholders and Board of Direc-
tors OF the Virginia Hospital:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fiscal year has
closed, ana ! submit my sixth annual re-
port as director IN charge. l am glad
10 say that the good work has continued
and much has ben accomplished In the
RELIEF OF suffering, especially of those who
have received free board. nursing. medi-
cine. and medical and surgical attention.
We have had as guests OF the hospital
many who have seen better days, but
who are now unable 10 pay for hospital
treatment. All speak in the highest
praise OF the management Of our insti-
tuition by its superintendent Miss A. NJ.
Robertson. who has given general salts
faction.
The medical staff have performed their
duties faithfully and without hope OF COM
pensat.on. The nurses have carried sun
shine into each sick-room by their patient
and ready skilfulness.
The Ladies Board has worked hard
during the year. and the excellent condi-
ton OF the building attests their efforts.
having had the halls and rooms kalso-
mined and painted and the exterior re-
paint d. The build ng now has the up-to-
date appearance Of q modern hospital.
Ths German Ladies Aid Association has
given the Ladies Board valuable assist
ance. but for which much would have re-
ma ned unaccompshed | wish 10 re-
turn my sincere thanks for the interest
manifested.
Miss Brown. our house-keeper. has
proven the best We have had and gives
entire satisfaction The same IS true OF
the druggist and record clerk. Mr.. Ne
vette.
FEWER FREE PATIENTS.
The number OF free patients are fewer
than In past years. due largely TO the per
diem, per capita fee OF 81 paid by the
University College OF Medicine for the
care OF their clinic. This charge was for
board. nursing. medicine. and surgical
dressings. and was paid to the treasurer
Of the Ladies Board, and applied 10 the
running expense. I submit for your ap-
proval the same agreement made for the
ensuing year.
The committee charged with the Sc
lection of a house 10 he used as
nurses home have thought best 10 post
pone the purchase. / regret being I'M
able 70 announce the acquisition OF
suitable building for this purpose Visits
10 several hospitals. during recent trip
have impressed me with the necessity OF
a suitable home for the nurses, apart
from the hosnital building, and contrib
uted 10 my desire that we secure one
if possible. during the coming year.
The reports Of the treasurer and Of
the Auditing Committee furnish a cor
rect account OF the receipts and dis
bursemcnts.
gratefully acknowledge the cordial
support given me IN The discharge Of my
duties. ana pray the richest blessing Of
God upon our institution and upon those
whose labor and interest make II success
ful. I also present the statistics for the
past year.
Yours very respectfully.
r. d. TAYLOR,
Director in Charge.
