ALEXANDER KNOX, Chairman. LAMBERT SUYDAM, Secretary. THE F01._TY- I GHTH ANNUAL J EPORT OF THE NORTHERN DISPENSARY. To THE SUBSCRIBERS: The close of another. year reminds us of our duty, and our privilege, to render you an account of our stewardship as Trustees of the Northern Dispensary. The past year, although adding one more to the period of our existence, has nothing extraordinary to mark it as an epoch in its history. Every year goes freighted with its thousands of visits from your vigilant physicians, its tens of thousands of prescriptions, its multitudinous labors of its various officers, as shown by the accompanying tables, that also exhibit an amount of labor and care, that no cursory examination can adequately appreciate. Each visit requires, not only time but personal exertion; extending from attic to cellar. The patients are found in all stages and degrees of illness, in close rooms of overcrowded tenement houses, in the cold and cheerless apartment, where not only the fire is wanting, but human sympathy; except that which is extended through your Physician and your benificence. Summer and winter, heat and cold, day and night, are no barriers to the duties of your faithful Physician. We may thank the Father of Mercies, for the benign influence of that Christianity, which has made this age so marked for its many noble charities, and this one, among the number, and we may rest assured that we may claim the benediction that, " Inasmuch as ye have done it, unto one of the least of these my bretheren, ye have done it unto Me." In none of the channels of benevolence do the smallest sums bestowed a greater work than in our institution. Such a sum procures a healing medicine, that judiciously bestowed often restores a parent to health, and give his family thus a support, whilst the want of such medicine, would insure suffering and often death. Well then may the subscribers, and all engaged, be encouraged in this noble work, and do what in them lies, to carry forward this 13 health and life saving charity, and though we have been deprived to some extent 6f City and State aid, and our income has fallen short of our expenses, we may still work and hope in the assurance, that we shall not be forgotten, and that the work solong and so well sustained, handed down by others to us, may be by us handed down to coming generations, as an example of the promise that they shall reap, if " they faint not." Once more we are called to mention the departure of one of our Trustees. Floyd Smith, died April 6th, 1874, in the eightyfourth year of his age. His name stands with those nwho obtained our Act of Incorporation dated November 28th, I828. He was President during 1841 and 1842, and senior Trustee at the time of his decease. He was identified with this Institution from its infancy to manhood, and stood by it with heart and hand, through adversity and prosperity. The cheerful spirit that pervaded his character, makes his absence morefelt, but he has obeyed death's summons to accept his reward, whilst the voice of monition to us, says, " Be ye also ready." As the early reports of this Institution have long since been out of print, and there are several interesting historical facts concerning its origin, unknown to many of our subscribers, it may be desirable again here to refer to a few'of them, that they may be placed once more on record. The First Annual Report of the Northern Dispensary was made April I4th, 1828. We are therefore in the forty-seventh year of our existence. That Report says, "As far back as October, I824, it appears by the records that,'A number of benevolent individuals organized themselves into an institution denominated the Northern Dispensary, which was intended to extend gratuitous medical relief, more certainly and effectually, than had been heretofore done by the City Dispensary to the indigent inhabitants of the North-western district of the city. But from the operation of causes not known to the present Board of Managers, this Institution did not acquire sufficient vigor to insure its continued existence, and consequently suffered a premature decay, and ultimate extinction.'" "Under the impression that the remote situation of the City Dispensary rendered it unable to supply the wants of the indigent of this district, a number of individuals met at the schoolroom of Messrs. Flint & Kidder, on the 4th of April, I827, to take into consideration the expediency, of either reviving and infusing new life 14 and energy into the former institution or to erect upon its ruins another of more durable materials." It resulted in a unanimous resolution to form a new institution. An able Board of Physicians and Surgeons was appointed. The Finance Commnittee " provided well-arranged accommodations for the Dispensary at 64 Herring, (now Bleecker street) corner of Commerce street." " In consequence of the owner finding another occupant'by business better adapted to the original designs of the building, other excellent apartments have been obtained in Carmine street, near its junction with the Sixth avenue. "' The Third Report is dated April 3d, I830. The following paragraph is worthy of note. " Hitherto the Dispensary can hardly be said to have had a'local habitation.' The office has been removed from place to place, in obedience to circumstances producing sometimes inconvenience and always subject to an expense of rent, which it has been ill able to bear. But the Board are most happy to say that in this particular, better prospects are now presented. By the ever active liberality of the City Authorities, a lot of ground has very lately been granted for its use, centrally situated at the corners of Christopher, Sixth and Factory streets." The Trustees say they, "have had to resort to ordinary and extraordinary means to raise funds to carry on the building. They solicited donations from friends, they have asked sermons of clergymen, and through them collections from their congregations, and have established a course of Chemical and Philosophical lectures." The Fourth Annual Meeting, was held for the first time in this building, April I2th, I83I. In the Report then presented, it was stated, that the building is nearly finished at an expense of about five thousand dollars. The Fifth Annual Report was made April 6th, i832. In which the Building Committee report, "They have built a cistern, and have connected therewith a rotary pump, and have supplied several fixtures, so as to render the building complete, as will be seen by an examination thereof, and that the whole expenditure has been $4,725.99 which has been entirely paid off, with $291.OI on hand, subject to the order of the Trustees." The supply of funds to carry forward the daily expenses of the Institution was always a matter of solicitude. Personal applications were continued, as were the efforts of various clergymen and popular lecturers, to provide the necessary funds for the Treasury." 15 In the Seventh Report, April 4th, I834, it is stated that to procure more funds and make the Institution more known means were taken to "bring its claims more directly home to the feelings and knowledge of the inhabitants of that quarter of the city especially under the charge of the Institution. That portion, south of Twelfth street, was subdivided into thirteen districts, and a Committee of the Board allotted to each, with instructions to call personally at every door and solicit subscriptions, or contributions from each individual supposed to possess ability or inclination to aid in either mode. The labor was cheerfully performed, and the result was donations amounting to $I I9.26, and seventy new annual subscribers." In the Ninth Report, presented April ist, 1836, it says, the field of the Northern Dispensary is "extensive and important, embracing that portion of our city, having as a boundary, Spring street on the South, Broadway and Bloomingdale on the East, Thirteenth street on the North, and Hudson river on the West." We have thus presented some of the earlier historical facts of this Dispensary. The whole line of Reports, shows that the large and respected body of citizens, who sustained the work by their subscriptions, and gave their valuable time to manage its affairs, esteemed this charity worthy of their highest consideration and respect, and the efficient manner in which it has been carried forward, shows they displayed the same skill and energy, which they manifested in their own professionl or mercantile business, that placed many of them in the front rank of the most respected and successful men of this great city. May all who -are now engaged in this good work, do like honor to this Institution, and to themselves by the faithful performance of the duties with which they are entrusted, and receive from the "giver of every good and perfect gift," as well as from their fellow men, the approval of " Well done good and faithful servants." THEODORE MALLABY, WILLIAM K. THORN, Secretary. President. This Institution has been established for the purpose of affordingg Medical and Surgical relief to such sick, poor and indigent persons as reside in that portion of the city, bounded on the North, by West 23d Street; on the East, by Broadway; on the South, by Spring Street; and on the West, by the North River. Yet its benevolent object knows no boundary, as all deserving poor who seek its aid are welcome. 16 STATISTICAL REV'ORT OF THE HOUSE SURGEON TO THE NORTHERN DISPENSARY, For the?year endingq December 31st, 1874. 1874.

JOHN W. QUINCY, C/lairalllt, J. HARSEN RHOADES, Secretary. I' IH E IFTIETH }N NU A L EPORT BOARD OF TRUSTEES ()OF TlE NORTHERN DISPENSARY. T'o I HE SUBlSCRII ERs: In presenting the Fiftieth Annual Report of the Northern l)ispensary, the Trustees would first acknowledge their dependence upon and gratitude to Almighty God, for his care and protection through this long period of time, and would humbly implore a continuance of the same-that the Institution, which has done so much to relieve the distress of the poor and needy in the past, may be enabled to continue its good work for the coming fifty years, thereby completing a Century of Christian Charity.'Ihe Trustees would again call the attention of the Subscribers to the continued effects of the depressed and disastrous -condition of business in this city upon the financial condition of the Institution, and earnestly urge upon them the necessity of renewed efforts to fill the treasury by enlarged subscriptions, and by supplying the places of those annual subscribers of whom death has deprived it. By the Treasurer's report, it appears that a small amount of debt must be carried to the new year, and without increased receipts from its donors and subscribers the Board will be obliged to curtail its work and reduce their prescriptions. Early this year the Board was called upon to mourn the loss of three of its members; and last month, that of one who, though no 13 longer an officer or Trustee, was a warm and kind friend to the Institution. _Mr.\V. H. Brainan died on the 24th'of February, Mlr. (;.W.\Velsh,on the 24th, and Mr. J. B. Hillyer on the 3oth of Alarch. Mr. Bramah was elected a Trustee in I86o, Mr. Welsh in 1872, and Mr. Hillyer in 185 1. Alr. Hillyer was chosen, in G863, as Second Vice-President, as First Vice-President for 1864 and I865, and served as President for the year i866. Mr. Washington R. Vermilye was elected a Trustee in I841, served as Secretary for 1843 and.1844, and as First, Second, and Third Vice-President and as President from I849 to 1855. For their services, and especially for those of Messrs. Vermilye and Hillyer of over a quarter of a century, the Dispensary cannot be too grateful. Death has visited the Institution itself, and removed from his accustomed place, on the 23d of July, Robert Emmett Curran, our late Apothecary, who for thirteen years had well and faithfully performed every duty laid upon him, and who truly can be said to have died in the harness. The Trustees would impress upon all the importance of making provision for the increased demands that will be made upon the Dispensary this Winter; for it will not only have its regular recipients, but many who have never before been forced to avail themselves of its free gift; and it may be that some of those who in former years have helped it to do its work of charity will come for that charity for themselves. By reference to the detailed report of patients treated during the year, the diseases from which they were suffering, the results of their treatment, and the number of prescriptions dispensed, some idea of the magnitude of the work accomplished, with the relatively small expenditure of money, may be obtained. D)uring the year 1875 there were 15,297 patients treated, at the average cost of 364 cents per patient, including the 23,551 pre 14 scriptions dispensed for their use. This year shows 17,56I patients treated, at 3I cents, and 25,792 prescriptions dispensed. The Board of Trustees cannot allow this opportunity to pass without commending to the hearty approval of the Subscribers the staff of Attending and Visiting Physicians, as well as the House Surgeon, and all those connected with the Institution, for the faithful performance of their duties and their successful treatment of the sick.

This will account for the very few who have applied and received vaccination within the doors of the Northern Dispensary. To the Board of Health is due the credit of literally stamping that loathsome disease (Small-pox) from your Dispensary District. EVERARDUS B. WARNER, M. D.
