It originally occupied the building on the corner of Second and Folsom streets, owned by Gen. H. W. Halleck, whence they removed the children in March, 1854, to the present building, corner of Laguna and Haight streets, just then completed, at a cost of $30,000. This house, built of stone and brick, ex- pressly for the purpose, is highly creditable to the institution, as one of the noblest monuments of San Francisco benevolence. During the years 1862-3, a large and convenient addition was made to the pres- ent building, at an expense of $30,000, which. to- gether with the main building, will accommodate two hundred and fifty children. As a complement to the Sansom Hook and Ladder Co., who, upon dis- banding, donated to the asylum the building and lot owned by them, the new addition is called the " San- som Wing."
During the past year the upper story of the build- ing has been fitted up, and for the first time in its history the entire capacity of the asylum has been made available. The present number of children in the asylum is two hundred and seventeen.

In 1862 a farm of fifty-three acres, near Bay View, South San Francisco, was purchased, where there has been established a branch institution for very young children, called the St. Joseph's Infant Asy- lum. On this same tract of land a large and com- modious wooden edifice, with all the modern con- veniences, was erected in 1872. The present building is beautifully located on a hill, commanding an ex- tensive view of the surrounding country.

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, 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 eleven years it has been open there have been over nine hundred birtlis. Of the whole number of births over fifty per cent. have been illegitimate, showing conclusively the need of such an in titution, 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 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, up to the present year, for which the appropriation was reduced to $3,000. The Hospital is under the care of Dr. C. B. Hutchins.
Officers,-Mrs. A. Y. Trask, President ; Mrs. Isaac Hecht, Vice-President ; Mrs. Noyes, Secretary ; Mrs. E. B. Pond, Treasurer.
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 throughout 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, for they do not consider it charity to do for nothing for persons who have the means; 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 respectable. It is expected that the insti- tution 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 Asylum, 913 Tyler street, from nine to ten o'clock A. M. and from three to four o'clock P.M., daily (Sundays excepted), or at his residence, 20 Twelfth street, from five to seven o'clock P. M. Letters of inquiry should be directed to Dr. Benjamin F. Hardy, 20 Twelfth street, San Francisco, Califor- nia, inclosing a stamped envelope, properly super- scribed with the name and address of the applicant.
