Interesting Facts Concerning This
 Valuable Local Institution-Num be r # of Patients Treated and Their Natfon-
 aIity-FinanciaI Report.
 The seventy third report of the di- rectors of the General Hospital Society, for the year 1899 has just been issued. The report contains 50 pages and sever al pictures of various departments of the hospital and buildings. The first report of the volume of the medical re- port by pr. John s. Ely, secretary of the medical board. shows that in all >490 medical eases were admitted during the past year. Of these cases 29 were for acute alcoholism, 2S for typhoid fever IT for phthisis pulmonaris, 15 for pneu- monia, IS for malaria, and 12 for tuber- culosls chronica. The surgical report by Dr. Lewis B, Porter, house surgeon, shows that 593 surgical cases were ad- mitted during the year, of which 20 were for appendicitis 16 for endometitis, IS < for hernia, 13 for hemmorrhoids, and 28 for scalp wounds
 The report of Oliver S. White and John w. Bristol auditors, concerning the funds of the hospital society is as follows:
 The only funds belonging to the So- ntn+ of ,,, ed, are CD the General Fund, which in- cludes the following:
 1874, Irene Larned Fund. .... $5,000.0O 1878, Nelson A. Hotchkiss Fund. ...... .. '. !. ...................... 5,000.00 1885, Mary A. Miller Fund ... 100000 1890, Henry J. Prudden Fund. 1,72O.01 .1S94, Andrew l.. Kidston ...... 100000 and (2) the Annie R. Winchester Dye Fund, 100000.
 The Marett Clifford, and English Funds are Charity Funds, and the in- come can only be used for the support of poor patients. There seems to be general impression that these funds nave IIldu6 lll6 I1OSp1ldl IlCli, anu tiidl it does not need more money. This Impression is an erroneous one. The funds mentioned are very great help to the institution in carrying on it's strictly charitable work, but there still remains each year the same failure of receipts to meet expenses, due to the fact that so-called self-paying, town, and State patients do not pay the cost of their support.
 With regard to the Free Beds, it must be borne in mind that the income from the endowment of each bed ($5,O00) is not sufficnent to support patient con- tinuously throughout the year.
