SAN FRANCISCO FEMALE HOSPITAL. - Loca- tion, 930 Clay street. This hospital was opened for the reception of patients on the first day of April, 1868. The object of the institution is the care of poor, sick women. There is no rule as to the nativity, rell- gion, or social condition. It is a charity in the broad- est sense of the term. Any woman who is poor and sick is entitled to share its benefits. It is a general hospital for all diseases, and for lying-in. During the twelve years it has been open there have been near- ly one thousand births. Of the whole number of births over fifty per cent. have been illegitimate, showing conclusively the need of such an institution, as, if it were not for this hospital, the probabilities are that the greater number would have shared the fate of so many thousands of innocents murdered in their moth- ers' womb. There have been besides a large number of patients admitted for general discase. There have also been a very large number of outside patients treated, the physician and surgeon being in attend- ance every morning from ten to eleven o'clock to treat any poor persons who may come. It was sup- ported by voluntary contributions until 1870, when the State appropriated $5,000 a year for its support. lu 1879 the appropriation was reduced to $3,000. The Hospital is under the care of Dr. C. B. Hutchins.

SAN FRANCISCO LYING-IN HOSPITAL AND FOUNDLING ASYLUM .- Incorporated April, 1868, for the care, protection, and proper treatment of un- protected single women, with their offspring, together with all other children that may be left in infancy by outside parties. Said children will be considered foundlings.


The Trustees design to make this institution in the highest degree respectable and efficient, and available to women thronghout every county in the State, re- gardless of religion, sectarianism, or nationality. Those who are in a position to pay will be required to do so, therefore, all applicants are questioned as to their ability to pay for the accomodations offered by this institution. But each must give satisfactory proof of having heretofore sustained a good moral character, and been esteemed re- spectable. It is expected that the institution will be supported by receipts from patients, donations, and contributions from different sources, appropriations by the City and State Governments, and, in time, by bequests, legacies, etc. It is a spec- ial hospital, and for the specialties for which it was organized affords facilities not to be found elsewhere on this coast. No cases of disease are admitted for treatment. It is therefore expected that it will be kept free from erysipelas and other contagious dis- eases that become the bane of lying-in wards con- nected with general hospitals. It is thoroughly ven- tilated, and will afford all the comfort that is to be found in the best conducted homes, and free from all intrusion. Competent nurses are in attendance day and night.


For consultation the attending physician will be found at the Hospital, 913 Tyler street, from eleven to twelve o'clock A. M., daily (Sundays excepted), or at his residence, 20 Twelfth street, from half-past cight to nine o'clock A. M., and from half-past six to seven o'clock P. M. Letters of inquiry should be directed to Dr. Benjamin F. Hardy, 20 Twelfth street, San Fran- cisco, California, inclosing a stamped envelope, prop -. erly superscribed with the name and address of the applicant.
