patients to these apartments retain the full benefit of their practice. The second-class rooms are also $10.00 per week, which includes doctor's fee, medicines, etc. In the General Ward the cost is $6.00 per week, including all necessaries. All patients, at their entrance, are required to deposit two weeks' payment in advance. Should the patient leave before that time expires, the balance is refunded. The first week is charged in full, whether the patient remains the entire week or not. After the first week the charges are made by the day. If patients remain longer than two weeks, they are required to pay one week at a time in advance. The hospital building has 100 beds, 18 rooms, and 9 wards. It is constructed according to approved plans for such a structure, and is altogether a very completely-appointed hospital. Established in 1863. Chartered in 1864. This hospital is under the patronage of the Protestant Episcopal Church, but is not sectarian in its work in any sense. It is a free hospital, receiving very little of its support in fees from patients, and only from such as are able and willing to pay. The hospital property is vested in a Board of Trustees, consisting of a a President, Secretary, Treasurer, and nine members-three from each division of the city, one of each three being a rector of a city parish. The management of the hospital is conducted by a Board of Directors, composed of ladies. The Chicago Relief and Aid Society, by virtue of an endowment of $28,000, has the right to occupy twenty-eight beds. St. Luke's Free Dispensary is connected with the hospital, and is open daily. The hospital has room for fifty beds. A permanent site has been purchased on the corner of State and Thirty-sixth streets, where a building will eventually be erected specially for hospital purposes. During the year ending September 1st, 1873, there were admitted into the hospital 243 patients. Patients are admitted to the different departments by the members of the Medical Board having charge of such department. Cases of accident or great urgency are admitted at once, on application by the resident physician. OFFICERS. THE BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE, Patron. Secretary-Elijah K. Hubbard. MEDICAL BOARD. Surgeon.

Work was commenced on Sept. 18th, 1867, and has been faithfully and satisfactorily hastened to a prompt conclusion. The building is of Joliet stone, the main building in the centre being four stories in height, and the long wings for the wards, running north and south, being three stories in height, with a basement under the whole. The foundation walls are three feet six inches in thickness, grading to two feet at the upper story. The dimensions of the main building are 94 feet 4 inches, north and south, by 57 feet 8 inches, east and west, while the total length, including wings, is 340 feet 3 inches. The appearance of the edifice as a whole is not unattractive. On the west side the main entrance may be approached by a stone stairway, with a neat covered piazza, while at either end is a substantial stone portico and verandah. A Mansard roof surmounts the central building, while that of the wings is more nearly flat, and filled with small windows for ventilation. The division of the interior space appears to be conducive to convenience and comfort. The basement contains the kitchen, dietkitchen, bakery, pastry-rooms, and a multitude of store-rooms, all with water-tight cement floors.
