NEW YORK HOMEOPATHIC DISPENSARY. R. McMurray, M.D., Delegate. John S. Linsley, M.D., House Physician. The success of this institution, as regards the amount of good accomplished, has been great, and is constantly increasing. The following is the classification of cases treated during the year 1867: - 1,363 11,073 43 . 109 Surgical Department Vaccinations . Whole number of cases treated in the Visiting Depart ment, and not included in above classification It is believed that no similar institution in the world can show more success as regards the saving of life, or greater results as regards the treatment of a large number of sick, for so small an amount of money. Of the 43 deaths out of the 11,073 patients, nearly every one was from some illness incurable from its very nature. The actual cost of treating 11,073 patients last year, and supplying them with medicines, did not exceed $3,200! This of course included every item, rent, printing, etc., etc. The Dispensary is open from 10, A.M., to 4, P.M., daily, except on Sundays, when it is open from 1 to 2, P.M. BROOKLYN HOMEOPATHIC DISPENSARY. J. Lester Keep, M.D., Delegate. A. E. Sumner, M.D., Medical Director. C. T. Hamilton, M.D., House Physician. This institution, which was incorporated in 1852, has, during the past few years, been rapidly increasing in usefulness and prosperity, until it now ranks as the foremost among the outdoor charities of the city of Brooklyn. Its pecuniary condition is highly satisfactory. It owns its building and its appurtenances; is entirely free from debt, and has an assured income sufficient for its support. The entire building is devoted to its use: it contains separate suits of rooms for each department, including a Pharmacy, Library, and Reading-room. The Surgical Department is replete with every convenience, including complete sets of instruments, etc. During the year ending May 1, 1868, the number of prescrip tions was 27,523, and the number of patients 9,145; the number of patients being upwards of 3,000 more than that of the oldest and most important allopathic dispensary in the city. GATES AVENUE HOMEOPATHIC DISPENSARY. J. Lester Keep, M.D., Delegate. J. Lester Keep, M.D., Physician in Charge. This institution was incorporated in February, 1867; and, notwithstanding very many embarrassments, has eclipsed all of its predecessors in the amount of business done the first year. It is now under the direction of a Board of Trustees, residents of that part of the city, and the prospects for the future are quite encouraging. During the fifteen and a half months ending May 1, 1868, the number of prescriptions dispensed was 5,124, and 2,477 patients received treatment. BUFFALO HOMEOPATHIC DISPENSARY. L. M. Kenyon, M.D., Delegate. This institution was opened Nov. 1, 1867. In the first eight months of its operation, about eleven hundred prescriptions were made; these were generously dispensed by C. S. Halsey's pharmacy at a very small charge for each. Thirteen of our physicians share its responsibilities, and the cases treated have mostly done well. The Dispensary is in a very prosperous condition. POUGHKEEPSIE, (N.Y.) HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL AND SURGICAL DISPENSARY. H. N. Avery, M.D., Delegate. Levi Hubbard, M.D., Attending Physicians This institution was founded Nov. 20, 1865, and in two years treated 1,582 cases. More than three hundred were cases of intermittent fever; they have been treated with the most gratifying results. With the exception of a few cases, cures have been effected without the aid of quinine. The total number of cases treated the second year was 724: of these 612 were cured; 49 relieved; 3 died; 57 were still under treatment; and of 3 the result was unknown. The number of cases of intermittent fever treated this year was but 71, -64 of these were cured, 1 relieved, and 6 still under treatment. But for the better health of the city this year, and particularly the less amount of intermittent fever, the results of the second year would compare still more favorably with the first. At the retirement of Dr. Hofmann, many for a while, supposed the Dispensary closed, and sought relief elsewhere. The total receipts of the year were $316; expenses, $228.13, leaving $87.87 in the treasury. NEWARK (N.J.) HOMEOPATHIC DISPENSARY. J. J. Youlin, M.D., Delegate. F. B. Mandeville, M.D., F. A. Rockwith, M.D., Attending Physicians. S. B. Tompkins, M.D., During the past year, 1,500 prescriptions were made for 450 callers and 400 out-patients. The fatal cases were five, convulsions, two; phthisis, two; and one from typhoid fever. from DISPENSARY OF THE HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE OF PENNSYLVANIA. H. N. Guernsey, M.D., Delegate. This Dispensary is attached to the College, and is located in the College Building, Filbert Street, above Eleventh, Philadelphia. It is visited daily by a large number of the intelligent poor of the city, seeking relief for their ailments from the gentle force of homœopathy. Nearly twenty thousand prescriptions were dispensed during the past year. The use of the ophthalmoscope, laryngoscope, and kindred diagnostic appliances, is fully taught by Prof. Macfarlan. It is proposed to organize also, in connection with this Dispensary, a lying-in charity and nurse's home, for the proper education of women to act in the capacity of nurses in sick-rooms under homœopathic care.
