~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing It's patrons and friends, that II has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated TO add TO the comfortF of the pa
tients. The infrmary has been divided in such
manner as to separate the several classes of patients
VIZ: white and eolored, 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
ancc, and the nhrmary is visited daily at III O'Clock,
a m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as is necessary for pre-
scriptloLs, operations, and dispensing of medicines
for all such dspensary patients as may be in wait
ing Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services of the SS-
TERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
tion to the nursing and comforts of the sick.
Private patients may enter the infrmary under the
special care Of any Of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations of the instltu-
| ton.


| In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according to
| the following schedule, VIZ:


Private patients SIS per week.
| First class oil patients. ..........4 do.
| Second class. ..................3 do.
Cases Of mania potu S5 to $40 do.


In every instance the board must be paid weekly,



to receive it, or security for its payment must be
gven the security being responsible citizen of this
| District.


II is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable carry INTO effect the great design of this
stitution, as from the heavy expenses incurred, they
cannot extend their charities to the poor far
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 dispensary 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 maniacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, provision has
been made.


The in6rmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DR.. THOMAS MILLER,
