NATIONAL HOMEOPATHIC
HOSPITALS GREAT RECORD

menf, in three small rooms, a work had
been gUing on that was destined to be a
great help and blessing to the thousands
Of helpless poor in the Capital City. These
three small. poorly lighted rooms were
the beginning OF the dIspensary Of the
National Homeopathic Hospital. During
the fret years there were not many ap-
piicants for medicine and treatment A
few faithful physicians, assisted by the
house physician. gave a few hours OF
their precious time each day TO help
these suffering poor. Some one has said.
ITO pity distress Is but human; 10 relieve
Il Is godlike."
The efficient services rendered by these
faithful physicians to those to whom
surgical and medical help had been I'M
possible were soon appreciated, and these
needy ones constantly increased in num-
bers. The demands for supplies. medical
and surgical were a constant drain upon
the hospital These demands were sup
piled as far as possible, and although fast
becoming a heavy burden TO the hos
pital. no one OF its friends was willing
to discontinue this noble work. Thus no
one was denied treatment or medicine.
The dispensary was transferred to its
present quarters in the new building in
February. 1896. when the present building
opened its doors to the public, with all
modern equipment to meet the demands

his first attempt upon Delhi, in 1871,
was an ignominious failure. Owing,

There were free wards for colored and

About thirty years ago q small group
OF earnest and energetic women met IN
Washington to talk over plans for a
dispensary for the practice Of the almost
new science OF homeopathy They met
with IGany discot ragements. and many
times the idea was abandoned. but the
smoldertng IRE would break out again
and again. until two Of the most ener-
getic homeopathists, Mrs. O. II. Wilcox
and Mrs. DR.. Pope, reawakened interest
with the idea OF establishlngsa hospital.
They organized a Ladies' Aid Associa-
tlon. which Immediately selected quar-
ters and began the work This associa-
ton was a most remarkable one, as II

Original Appropriation.
A committee consisting OF Mrs. Charles
Nordhon. Mrs. F. L. Freeman, and Mrs.
f. B. Wight appealed to Congress for
recognition. Their efforts were rewarded
by the appropriation OF $4,000 for the
purchase OF a new building. With this
the present site was secured. An addi-
tIonaI appropriation Of $500 was made In
January. 1856 for maintenance and sup
plies, and the new building was opened
amid general rejoicing.
Parallel with this, another band OF
workers was struggling with the idea Of

with the greatest imperial dynasty that

of their splendid title weighed heavily
even with those who had utterly worsted
them in war. The unsentimental English
