A very large proportion of those attended to at the dispensary department are likewise from country districts. The Governors earnestly appeal to the humane to contribute towards the support and relief of those from their counties who may be admitted to the wards of this Institution. They would, also, especially request benevolent persons, wishing to pro- cure admission or advice for patients, to inquire into their pecuniary circumstances, and to recommend those only who are really fit objects for charity, and who would be admis- sible to public charities in their own localities; also to have such patients, when possible, examined, in the first instance, by medical men in their vicinity, so as to learn the nature of their disease, and whether they are likely to be benefited by treatment in hospital. A medical statement should first be forwarded to the officers of the hospital, together with an inquiry as to when the person can be admitted. It is, however, absolutely necessary, that means should be previously provided by those who send them, for the removal of patients](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2245021x_0006.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
