TITY lnhrmary and Dispensary.-The
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
IN announcing to its patrons and friends, that il has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated TO add to the comforts of the pa
tients. The in6rmary has been divided in such
manner as to separate the several classes Of PATIENTS
VIZ: white and colored, male and female; and from
its position and regulations, profiers retirement and
privacy as far AZ can be wished.


Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance, and the inhrmary is visited daily at O'Clock
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as is necessary for pre-
scrptIohs, operations, and dispensing of medicines
for all such dispensary patients may be in wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services of the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten
ton to the nursing and comforts Of the sick
Private patients may enter the inhrmary under the
special Of any Of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the insttu
ton.


the directors in making the arrangements they are
under the necessity of charging patients according to
the following schedule, Wis


Private patients. SIS per week
First class OF patients. ..........4 do.


second class. ....... ............3 do.


Cases OF mania potu ......s s. to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly
in advance TO the sister SUPERIOR who is authorized
TO receive it, or security for its payment must be
given the security being responsible citizen of this
District.


1t is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry INTO effect the great design of this IN
stitution, as from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor as far as
they could wish. Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been be received unless
aid be given by our corporation and citizens 1t is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had it
IN their power to the cause of humanity through
their dispcnsary arrangement, by which hundreds
Of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines with medical and surgical advice.
All classes Of diseases will be admitted into the
infrmary, except smallpox and manacs. For
these, the directors regret TO say, no provision has
been made.


The ,n6rmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DR.. THOMAS MILLER,
