The hospital is a fine brick building, immediately west of the college, and is bounded on three sides by streets, and on the fourth side by a private passage- way. It is one hundred and seven feet square, five stories in height, and is designed for the easy accom- modation of one linndred and twenty-five patients. The amphitheatre, for clinical lectures, is one of the largest and most convenient in the United States. A museum, containing casts and wax models of inter- esting cases treated in the hospital, was established in the latter part of 1878, and is maintained at an ex- pense of three hundred dollars a year. In connection with the hospital is an out-patient or dispensary de- partment of the college, which furnishes much valu- able material for clinical instruction. The hospital building contains a marble bust of Dr. George Me- Clellan, founder of the college, and portraits of many of the members of the different faculties.

During the peried from Sept. 17, 1877, to Sept. 30, 1878, the first year in which the hospital was open, there were four hundred and forty-one patients treated, at an expense of $11,803.95, the receipts from the board of patients and the sale of drugs being $7000.12. From Oct. 1, 1878, to Sept. 30, 1879, there were 639 patients treated, and from Oct. 1, 1879, to Sept. 30, 1880, 943 patients. During 1883 the total number of cases treated was 1193, of whom 607 recovered, 426 improved, 43 did not improve, 71 requested discharge, and 46, or only 3.7 per cent., died.

In the dispensary service, or out-patient depart- ment, the total number of visits was twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and twenty, and the number of physicians employed, twenty-one. The officers of the hospital at present are as follows :

Surgeons, Richard J. Levie, M. D., O. H. Allis, M.D., Joseph Hearn, M.D., J. M. Barton, M.D .; Physicians, James C. Wilson, M.D., Oliver P. Rex, M.D., J. T. Eskridge, M.D., Joseph S.

Wills Hospital for diseases of the eye, south side of Race Street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, opposite Logan Square, owes its foundation to the benevolence of James Wills, a grocer, who died in 1823, and by his last will bequeathed to the city of Philadelphia a sum of money, which at the comple-

tion of the building had accumulated to one hundred and twenty-two thousand five hundred and forty- eight dollars. Several other legacies have been added to the fund, which is under control of the Board of Public Trusts. The corner-stone was laid April 2, 1832, and the hospital opened March 3, 1834. The pavilions were dedicated Oct. 11, 1875. The hospital has eighty beds, all frec.

It was originally intended for the relief of the in- digent blind and lame, but has gradually become the most extensive hospital in the State of Pennsylvania for the treatment of diseases of the eye. During the year 188I nearly six thousand patients were treated at the Wills Hospital, where they daily receive the gratuitous services of eight of the most skillful eye surgeons of the city.

The surgical staff consists of the following :

Emeritus Surgeons, S. Littell, M.D., T. G. Morton, M.D . R. J. Levis, M.D., W. Thomson, M.D .; Attending Surgeons, H. E. Goodman, M.D., . A. D. Hall, M.D., G. C. Harlan, M.D., P. D. Keyser, M.D., W. W. Mc- CInre, M D., W. F. Norris, M. D., G. Strawbridge, M.D., H. S. Schell, M.D.

St. Joseph's Hospital is located on the south side of Girard Avenue from Sixteenth to Seventeenth Streets. The design of establishing a Catholic hospital in Phila- delphia originated with the late Bishop Kenrick. On Feb. 11, 1846, he appointed an executive committee to be called the Council of the Hospital of St. Vincent de Paul, to establish an hospital. This effort failed. On Jan. 30, 1848, Rev. F. J. Barbelin, S.J., pastor of St. Joseph's Church, called a meeting of that congrega- tion for that evening to devise means of relieving the distressed emigrants from Ireland, and to establish a hospital. The society was formed,-Father Barbelin, president ; Father McMullen, treasurer. Property on Locust Street, above Eleventh, was purchased, but the sale for legal reasons was not consummated. On Nov. 22, 1848, the title for the institution was adopted as St. Joseph's Hospital. On Jan. 9, 1849, a " Ladies' Catholic Hospital Society" was organized to co- operate with the managers. On March 12, 1849, a charter was obtained by the managers. On April 17th, the site now occupied was purchased for fifteen thousand dollars, but additions have been made since to the original purchase. On June 18, 1849, the Sisters of St. Joseph took charge of the hospital. Then the two-story double house which was then on the ground was purchased. In the first year one hundred and eighty-five patients were cared for. In May, 1852, a building for fever patients was erected. On July 19, 1860, Bishop Wood laid the corner-stone of extensive buildings. He and Very Rev. Dr. Moriarty, O.S.A., delivered discourses. On April 27, 1864, an act of incorporation was granted to the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph's Hospital.

The cost of the buildings at the time of their erec- tion was as follows: West wing, in 1861, cost $24,000; Central wing, in 1867, cost $67,000; East wing, in 1876, cost $56,000.

According to the annual report for 1883, the nun-

ber of patients admitted to the medical and surgical wards was 775. Of these 478 were pay patients, and 297 were treated without any charge. The results of the treatment of the cases were as follows : Discharged cured, 597 ; relieved, 19 ; removed before any definite result, 15; died, 49; remaining in the hospital, 95. The records of the dispensary attached to the institu- tion show that during the year 1883 the number of persons supplied with gratuitous treatment amounted to 3130. The number of free prescriptions given was 6310. St. Joseph's Hospital is under the care of the Sisters of Charity, who are skillful and well-trained nurses, making a specialty of hospital service. Sister Mary Rose is the sister in charge.

This hospital will favorably compare with any simi- lar institution in the city, being noted for the healthful- ness of its location, pleasant surroundings, thorough ventilation, and handsome appointments. The wards, numbering eight, are large, airy, and cheerful, accom- modating comfortably one hundred and twenty-eight patients. The private rooms, sixty-four in number, handsomely furnished, some connecting with private baths, and all affording every comfort, are a promi- nent feature of the house. The hospital is catholic in the broadest acceptation of the term, admitting all without regard to nationality, creed, or color, and ac- cording to every one the consolation of his own spiritual adviser, no matter what the religion he may profess. It is also catholic in its charities, giving to all who may apply for relief as far as its means will allow.

Woman's Hospital, corner of North College Ave- nue and Twenty-second Street, was established in 1861, in connection with the Woman's Medical Col- lege, and for the purpose of affording clinical facilities to students of the institution. It occupied until 1874 a portion of the college building, but since the erec- tion of the new building for the latter the premises formerly occupied by the college have been assigned to the hospital.

The Preston Retreat (Hamilton Street, between Twentieth and Twenty-first Streets) was founded in 1836. It is supported by income from an estate lett by Dr. Jonas Preston, who died in 1836, and is a lying-in charity for married women of good charac- ter but in indigent circumstances. The use of the building was for many years allowed to the man- agers of the Foster Home Association, It was first opened as a lying-in hospital in 1866, and during that year received forty patients.

The German Hospital .- As early as 1850 the citi- zens of German birth and descent in Philadelphia determined to establish a hospital. On April 2, 1860, a charter was obtained from the Legislature, and the first meeting was held under it on May 12th of the same year. The German Hospital of the City of

Philadelphia was duly organized with the following officers : Joseph M. Reichard,1 president; Jacob Muel- ler, vice-president ; Francis M. Drexel, treasurer ; M. Richards Muckle, secretary ; and Frederick R. Heyer, attorney.

A committee was appointed to select a suitable location for the hospital, which shortly afterward recommended the country residence of the Norris family, corner of Twentieth and Norris Streets, which was bought for twenty thousand dollars, the deed being signed on the 20th of May, 1861. Its extent was nearly three acres, and the building on it seemed well suited for the necessary wants of a hospital. In August, 1864, one hundred and thirty-eight and eight- tenths perches of land were bought of Peter Van Pelt for four thousand dollars, in order to secure an un- broken front on Twentieth Street.

The corporation received at that time its first lega- cies, namely, from the estate of F. M. Drexel two thousand dollars, F. L. Jolin one thousand dollars, J. H. Ullman two thousand dollars, and a donation from Mary de B. Brown of one thousand dollars. A Ladies' Aid Society was organized in April, 1861, whose efforts were most effectual in assisting in raising a portion of the purchase money. The managers had at that time finished their preparations for throwing doors open to the sick and wounded, when the civil war broke out, and for the purpose of assisting the government in its need for comfortable hospital ac- commodations, the entire establishment was leased to the United States for a nominal sum, for the duration of the war. The corporation did not get possession of its property until July 31, 1866, and in the same year, on Thanksgiving day, Nov. 29, 1866, its doors were opened to the sick. It soon became apparent that the building, being old, would soon need extensive re- pairs, and at the same time the locality did not appear to be central enough. It was then thought wise to look out for a better location. The handsome man- sion of the Misses Davidson, at the corner of Corin- thian and Girard Avenues, being then offered for sale, was purchased in the spring of 1872 for thirty-five thousand dollars.

In October of the same year possession was taken, and over fifty patients were domiciled in the house. It was decided to remodel the house, and at the same time enlarge it very considerably. In May, 1874, the new plans were submitted to the man- agers and universally approved. Building was soon commenced, and at the end of the year was so far ad- vanced that part of the new building could be utilized. The very extensive outlays for the building and for its improvement were partly defrayed by donations and legacies which the hospital was favored with, among which may be mentioned the very liberal endowments for two beds, presented by Isaiah V. Williamson.

On the 26th of October, 1875, the formal dedication of the finished buildings took place, and since that time the hospital has been steadily advancing in favor, and anxious and willing to afford relief to the poor and wounded, as far as the limited means of its treasury would allow. The old hospital lot, on the corner of Twentieth and Norris Streets, was sold at auction on the 2d of November, 1879, to the highest bidder, the amount realized being fifty-five thousand dollars, which sum enabled the managers to pay off the mortgages on the new hospital lot, and with the balance of the fifteen thousand dollars to make the first permanent investment.

A considerable piece of ground, bought from the city, has been given to the hospital corporation, and additional buildings are likewise in contemplation, which will also be presented to the corporation.

At the meeting of the corporation on the 11th of January, 1882, it was determined to adopt a new charter, and, after several preliminary meetings, the new charter was duly signed and approved Dec. 2, 1882. This new charter went into effect on the 8th of January, 1883.

The Charity Hospital (1832 Hamilton Street) was chartered in 1858, and is supported by private sub- scription. Daily elinics are held in the hospital, where advice and medicine are given gratuitously to the worthy poor.

The Jewish Hospital (Olney road, near York pike, in the Twenty-second Ward) was organized in 1865, and admits all sufferers from bodily disease, regardless of religious beliefs, sex, or nationality. The institution occupied for many years buildings at Westminster Avenue and Haverford road. The lot of ground now occupied was purchased in 1872, and the corner-stone of a hospital building Inid October 9th of the same year. It was ready for patients in 1874. The association also has under its charge and supports a home for aged and infirm Israelites.

The Presbyterian Hospital (corner of Powelton Avenue and Thirty-ninth Street, West Philadelphia owes its foundation to the appointment of a commit- tee on hospitals by the Presbyterian Alliance in 1870. At that time Professor Courtland Saunders offered to the institution, if it should be formed, an entire square of ground, upon which were his mansion and the Courtland Saunders Institute. The gift was not ab- solute, but the offer was so liberal that a valuable property, worth at least fifty thousand dollars, came into the possession of the managers of the hospital for a small sum. In 1871, obtaining a charter, John A. Brown, of this city, made a liberal donation of three hundred thousand dollars to the hospital, the interest to be applied to its support. The hospital was for- mally opened July 1, 1872.
