SAN FRANCISCO FEMALE HOSPITAL. - Loca- tion, 806 Stockton 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, reli- 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 80 many thousands of innocents murdered in their moth- ers' womb. There have been besides a large number of patients admitted for general disease. 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. In 1879 the appropriation was reduced to $3,000. Dur- ing the past year this appropriation has been with- drawn entirely, consequently fewer patients will be admitted free. The Hospital is under the care of Dr. C. B. Hutchins.
