-{{anchor:s2}}In publishing their Fourth Annual Report, the Trustees of the Central Homoeopathic Dispensary, have discontinued their tabular statements: as they believe that the result of dispensary practice, cannot be arrived at with sufficient accuracy to make its statistics of any value. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s3}}The information that fifty cases of croup, for instance, have been cured out of fifty cases treated, can be but of very little value unless this statement is accompanied with the details of the <span grade2>symptoms</spanin the various cases. {{anchor:​s4}}The elemental constituents of case of this disease, evidently differ as the characters and medical experience of those who make the record. {{anchor:s5}}The stage of the disease at which treatment is commenced, the constitution of the patient, the <span grade2>​intensity<​/span> of the inflammation,​ and various other circumstances,​ must modify the result{{anchor:​s6}}From this instance, an idea may be formed of the small value of most <span grade2>​tabular<​/spanstatistics. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s7}}During the year, 1467 cases have been treated, 6 deaths have occurred. {{anchor:​s8}}There have been dispensed, 3914 prescriptions ​at a cost, including rent, fuel, etc., of $282.75. {{anchor:​s9}}The receipts amounted to $259, leaving a deficiency of $23.75. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s10}}In the Third Annual Report of the Bond Street Homoeopathic Dispensary, the Manager publishes a long tabular statement, showing a totality of 1808 cases treated, 1083 cured, 130 relieved, 240 results unknown, 5 deaths and 173 remaining under treatment. {{anchor:​s11}}The yearly expenses amounted to $677.50; the subscriptions,​ $685; leaving a balance of $7.50. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s12}}The Physicians of the Northern Homoeopathic Dispensary publish their First Annual Report, with the following summary:​-1384 cases, of which, 1047 were cured, 73 relieved, 46 results unknown, 5 death and 68 remaining under treatment. {{anchor:​s13}}The expenditures amounted to $161.25, while the receipts were but $118, showing a deficiency of $43.25. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s14}}From the Secretary'​s Report of the Homoeopathic Medical Dispensary of Boston, we make the following extract:- +
- +
-{{anchor:​s15}}"​Number of cases 195; cured 18; relieved 44; called once 66; results unknown 22; remaining under treatment 44; not relieved 1. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s16}}"​It will be noticed that the number of cases coming under the head of '​cured'​ is comparatively small. {{anchor:​s17}}But it should be remembered that in institutions of this nature, it is always extremely difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a full report of the results of the treatment. {{anchor:​s18}}If a patient recovers, he generally does not take the trouble to return to the Dispensary and report the fact; if he is discouraged,​ and seeks other treatment, he is still less likely to be heard from. {{anchor:​s19}}Still,​ judging from the nature of many of the diseases which have been treated, and the improved condition of many of the patients at their last visit, it may be fairly inferred that many of the cases coming under the head of "​relieved,"​ '​called once,' and '​results unknown'​ were in reality cured by the treatment they had undergone."​ +
- +
-{{anchor:​s20}}From Dr. A. R. Shaw, Physician to the Homoeopathic Dispensary, Philadelphia,​ we have received a short sketch of the institution,​ with which he is connected, and regret that our limited space forbids our publishing his letter. {{anchor:​s21}}From it we learn that during the four months ending July 31st, 1858 the total number of cases amounted to nearly 2600. {{anchor:​s22}}In April the number was 672; in May 702; in June 607; in July 587. {{anchor:​s23}}These were exclusive of out door patients. {{anchor:​s24}}The doctor states they are laboring under difficulties similar to those mentioned in the above extract. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s25}}In addition to the relief afforded to those unable to pay for medical advice, and the benefit resulting to our cause from the success thereof, Dispensaries and Hospitals are invaluable to the homoeopathic student, as the variety of cases he sees there is but seldom met with in private practice, thus affording opportunities unsurpassed for clinical study. {{anchor:​s26}}We wonder that in all of our principal cities, dispensaries have not been established,​ if only for the benefit young practitioners can derive therefrom. +
- +
-**{{anchor:​s27}}CITY HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO.** +
- +
-{{anchor:​s28}}On the 14th of March 1837, a petition, numerously signed by many of the most intelligent and respectable citizens of Chicago was presented to the Common Council of that city, asking that a portion of the new hospital, then in course of erection, might be assigned to the treatment of patients under the homoeopathic theory. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s29}}The petition was granted and on the 9th of July following the Board of Health appointed a homoeopathic and allopathic board of physicians and surgeons composed of the following gentlemen. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s30}}HOMOEOPATHIC BOARD.{{anchor:​s31}}-<​span grade2>​Consulting Physicians-</span>A. E. Small, M. D., A. Pitney, M. D. +
- +
-<span grade2>​{{anchor:s32}}Physicians and Surgeons-<​/span> H K. W. Boardman, M. D., D. A. Colton, M. D., N. F. Cook, M. D., R. Ludlam, M. D., S. Seymour, M. D., and G. B. Shipman, M. D. +

- +
-{{anchor:​s36}}To the latter of these boards, three-fourths of the Hospital was to be granted, and to the other, one-fourth, each to be independent in its own sphere. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s37}}The Hospital is finished; but has not yet been opened for patients owing, we understand, to financial difficulties. +
- +
-**{{anchor:​s38}}PROTESTANT HOSPITAL OF ST. LOUIS.** +
- +
-{{anchor:​s39}}This institution was established by Mr. L. E. Nollan, a German clergyman, assisted by many of the citizens of St. Louis. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s40}}It was commenced in a small way without any funds or endowments. {{anchor:​s41}}A five dollar gold piece was presented to Mr. N. as a New Years gift, January 1857. {{anchor:​s42}}A friend added five dollars more; a book seller, from whom a blank book was asked for keeping accounts, presented the book and ten dollars more; another friend gave a lounge and ten dollars in money, besides other furniture. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s43}}Mr. N. borrowed $2025 upon his own account, to purchase a building with, and on the 10th of February 1857 it was opened for patients. {{anchor:​s44}}They now have twenty-four beds and all the necessary furniture. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s45}}During the year 1857 the whole number of patients admitted and treated was 101. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s46}}The receipts amounted to $l,293.93, while the expenditures were $2,187.36 leafing a deficiency of $893 43. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s47}}It is intended to apply to the Legislature for a charter, and have the Hospital placed under a regular Board of Trustees. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s48}}Drs T. G. Comstock and E. A. Fellerer are the attending physicians. +
