Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the New York Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled: May, 1869 The Board, in this connection, would gratefully announce, that the disabilities under which the Society has hitherto labored for want of room and suitable appointments, will soon, as is be lieved, be a matter of the past. The foundations Of a new Hospital building have been laid, in faith and hope, with the trust that the top-stone will be raised at no distant day, with Praise and rejoicing. Its location, corner of Lexington Avenue and Forty-second Street, is eligible, salubrious, and conveniently accessible; and the structure now erecting thereon, will be sufficient for two hundred ia-patients. The completion and oc pancy of the edifice, including all the improvements in this order of architecture, which recent developments in hospital hygiene have secured, will prove, it is believed, an interesting epoch in the history Of the Society, from which it may date an increase Of usefulness, corresponding to its greater advantages. For then it will be able to receive, not only a far larger number of poor children for clinical treatment, but also children and adults as pay-patients, who, while they are benefitted themselves, may prove a source of income to the Institution. Unhappily, the Society has not yet the means for completing the building. The basement and second story are constructed, but the work will be interrupted, if not actually suspended, without enlarged contributions. Many have contributed very generously to this noble Christian charity; but owing to the high prices Of material and labor, sixty thousand dollars more than its present means are required to finish and furnish the building. Who, with a knowledge of these facts, will not respond to its claims, not coldly, but warmly and generously, as to an Object rich and happy in present results, and full Of promise for the future? Such a response will bring them into sympathy with the importunate pleas of the suffering, and with that All-compile sionate Being who, while on earth, wrought so many miracles for the crippled, the halt, and the lame. It will, in a word, be ap. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
