" directors OF this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends that has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated 10 add TO the comforts of the pa
tents The in6rmary has been divided n such
manner to separate the several casses of patients
VIZ: white and colored, male and female and, from
its position and regulations, proFers retirement and
privacy as far az can he wished.


Two resdent physicians are in constant attend
ancc, and the Inhrmary Ia visited daily ii o'clock
a. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time az is necessary for pre-
scriptiohs, operauons and dispensing of medicines
for all such diBpensary patients may be in wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services of the SIS
TERS 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 infrmary under the
special care of any of its directors but other
wise will comply with the regulations OF the insu-
ton.
In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity of charging patents according to
the following schedule, viz:


Private patients. .S5 per week.
First class OF patients. ............4 do.
second class. .................3 do.
Cases OF mania potu S5 to $40 do.
la every instance the board must be paid weekly,
IN advance, TO the sister superior, who is authorized
to receive it,, 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
sttuon, as, from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities 10 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 can 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 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 infrmary will be open for vsters daily in the
afternoon DR.. THOMAS MILLER,
