~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing TO its patrons and friends, that 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
manner separate the several classes Of patients
VIZ: white and eolored male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profers retirement and
privacy far az can be wished.


Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the inhrmary Is visited daily at III O'Clock
a.. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as IL necessary for pre-
scrptions, operations and dispensing of medicines
for all such dispensary 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 sfair asd give their undivided attend
ton 10 the nursing and comforts Of the siek.
Private patients may enter the iDhrmary under the
special care Of any one 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
under the necessity Of charging patients according to
the following schedule, viz:


Private patients. ...s5 per week.


First class Of patients. ...........4 do.


Second class. ....-.............3 do.
Cases oil mania potu. 50 TO SlO do.


In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
10 tne WHO ID
to receive il, 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
stituton 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 can be received, unless
aid be given by corporation and citizens. 1t is
gratifying however, to the directors 10 have had il
IN their power the of humanity through
their dspensary 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 nfrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DIR. THOMAS MILLER,
