This 1S ac- counted for by the fneurable nature of a num- nd by the faet that the pa- tients have in many instances only come to the hospital when thelr diseases had gone too far ‘ber of the cases to be chee! ed. Of 118 deaths, i4 died within hours after admission, and 6 on the very day in which they entered. in 40 of the 46 cases of confinement the moth- ers were not mariied. There is no law in the rict to reach them nor are the partners ot u uiit amenable to law. Nearly all the articles of clothing and bed- ding used in the hospital are manutactured on the premises at a slight advance from te cost of raw material, For the year ending June 30, 187s, the appro- priation being $40,000, the daily cost of eacit pa- Uent for subsistence, clothing, nursing aud medicine, was 46 cents per day. ‘The reluctance with which patients leave the hospital and the readiness with which they re- turn when again sick are mentioned as proofs that the patients are well treated. The report eonchides: “The necessity for the continuance of this hospital is manifest from the constantly-increasing number of applica- uons for the admission of persons suffering from accidents, trom wounds and from severe diseases. Not less than one hundred have come in here during the past year by recommenda- tion of the police. Th fact, this is the only gen- eral hospitai for the me of all classes of tients within the District.
