    out-door department has been established, and also an arrangement has been made with the Boston Dispensary by which it sends many of its cases to the wards of the Hospital, to the advantage of both institutions. The Members constitute a Visiting Committee, and in rotation for one month each member visits the Hospital at least once in every week, often on the day of their vis¬ it lunching with the Executive Committee of the Staff. This provides a convenient medium of intercourse for suggestion and information, and brings the Members into more intimate touch with the work of the Hospital. A Social Service Department has been established for the purpose of supplementing the usual hospital work. The Corporation, while seemingly well endowed, finds its work always expanding, and the outlook for the future calls for ever-increasing expenditure. It is hoped and believed that this Hospital will receive hereafter financial aid from the citizens of Suffolk County commensurate with its work for good in the community. A form of be¬ quest is given at the beginning of the report as one way of assisting the Hospital, and another is by the endow¬ ment of free beds. This, the youngest of the hospitals in the City, may well claim a share in the generosity of the people of Boston. ALEXANDER COCHRANE, President.
