~ directors of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing TO its patrons ard friends, that II has
undergone many material attentions and improve
ments calculated TO add 10 the comfortP Of the pa
tienLs. The inhrmary 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, proters retirement and
privacy as far az can be wished


Two resident physicians arc 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 Tune as is necessary for pre-
scrptons, 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 inhrmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
ZION to the nursing and comforts Of the sick


Private patients may enter the inhrmary under the
special care Of any Of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations Of the insuu-
uon. .r. .... J.. ..... ... . ...ra. .


In consequences Of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they are
under the necessity Of charging patients according 10
the following schedule, viz F~ r.r..


Private patients. nts................sS per week.


First class oil patients. ............4 DO.


Second class. .......S oo'


Cases Of mania potu. IS to $40 do.


In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
in vance 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
stitutioD 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 or can be received, unless
aid be given by our corporation and citizens. 1t is
gratifying, however to the directors to have had II
IN their TO serve 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 no provision has
been made.


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