INSTITUTIONS PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL,
ON WHICH IS ENGRAFTED RY AN ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE.
THE LYING IN & FOUNDLING HOSPITAL:
The patients to be admitted into this Hospital, are the sick in body or mind, except with contagious diseases ; these are admitted from the Hospital Dispensary as out patients.
Forty paupers are allowed to be received at one time, and no more, the funds at present not being sufficient to provide for a larger number ; but the charity will be ex- tended to the poor, in proportion to the increase of the capital stock, which can only arise from future legacies or contributions, no tax being assessed on the citizens for the support of this institution.
XXXV
In the mean time the affluent are received, as pay pa- tients, at 3 to eight dollars a week, according to their cir- cumistances in life, and the profit made by their board is applied with the interest of the capital, to the support of poor patients.
Accidents however, such as fractures, bad bruises, are admitted GRATIS, if brought within 24 hours after they happen, and the doors are to be opened at all hours to receive them.
In all other cases, applications should be made to one- of the attending physicians and managers, whose names are published monthly in Poulson's papers. But on the 4th and 7th day of every week, those managers and physicians attend regularly at the hospital from 10 to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, on purpose to receive and discharge patients, where if the applicant applies, it will often save much trouble.
Legacies are usually given in the corporate name, viz. " I give to the Contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital, and to their successors, &c." Contributions and donations are sent or taken to
