Under allopathic direction ten years; under homœopathic direction since 1842. Located at 67 West Tenth street, New York. REPORT OF THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN. The following is the report for the year ending December 1, 1870: While there is something to regret, there is much to be thankful for, in the experience of the last year. There have been more or less cases of most of the contagious diseases of children: mumps, chicken-pox, hooping-cough, measles and scarlet fever; also, intermittent fever, cholera morbus, dysentery; a great many cases of croup, and some serious casualties. Ophthalmia has been less prevalent and more manageable. The eruptions have been well kept in check by the vigilance and assiduity of the nurse. A number of the patients have been a great tax upon the nurse, requiring unusual attention. No death has occurred during the year. Number of children under care, three hundred and eighteen. I would renew the recommendation that more attention be paid to the physical training of the children, and that suitable means be provided for that purpose. LX. Report of the Albany City Dispensary.
