TITY Inhrmary and Dispensary.-The
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends that It has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts Of the pa
tents. The inhrmary has been divided in such
TO separate the several Glasses Of patients
VIZ: white and colored, male and female; and from
its position and regulations, proffers retirement and
privacy as far an can be wished ..| .a


Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance, and the nfrmary is visited daily II O'clock
a. m, by the attending pb byscian asd surgeon who
also devote as much time as Is necessary for pre-
scriptions, 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 SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided at,en-
tion to the nursing and comforts of the sick.


Private patients may enter the in6rmary under the
special of any of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations Of the insttu-
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. ts................S5 per week.
First class OF patients. .-..........4 do. ..
Second class. .-.........-.... IS DO.
Cases Of mania potu 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.


Ii is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable carry INTO effect the great design of this in
sution, 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 corporation and citizens. 1t is
gratifying, however to the directors have had il
IN their powerto the Of humanity through
their dispensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of DOOR, 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 naniacs. For
these the directors regret to say, provision has
been made. i#F. ...att &"


The nfrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DIR. THOMAS MILLER, ,
