NEW ORLEANS, La. June "A, 1901.
To the President and Members of the Po-
lice Juries of the State of Louisiana.
Dear Sirs:
have the honor to hand you, :,
herewith, the Eleventh Annual Report of the
Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, of New
Orleans. La.
Permit me. at the same time, to call your
attention to the work done by this Institution
in relieving the poor Of the parishes of Louis
lana, outside of New Orleans.
By reference to the Report, Folio 81 Won
will see that, up to December 81, 1900, we
have treated 1925 poor; and those coming
from the parishes are generally the most COM
plicated cases requiring, not only surgical at
tention, but also to be kept in our Hospi-
tai for days, after operation, at very great
expense to us.
In transmitting this report to you, we deem
it but proper to lay these facts before your
Honorable body, and to request that small
annual contribution be allowed us to meet the
expenses of the Institution, which are increas-
ing in proportion to its popularity.
The State does nothing for us, and the ms
titution is only supported by contributions,
and the officers and surgeons give their valu-
able time gratuitously.
Trusting to hear from you, favorably. am,
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH A. HINCKS,
Secretary.
