Meigs. He was also Consulting Physician to the 
Women’s Hospital, to the Blind Asylum, and to the 
Children’s Hospital. 
The services he rendered to the Pennsylvania Hos- 
pital were most devoted and loyal, as has been the 
case with so many of those connected, as managers or 
as members of the medical staff, with that venerable 
institution. For many years Dr. Meigs sacrificed a 
large part of whatever summer recreation he other-

He was a model Hospital Physician. His manners 
to the poor sick seamstress or servant girl in his ward

has filled for twenty-five years past, and which has added largely to the

Resolved, That in addition to the faithful discharge of all his official 
duties, this Board recognizes the obligations of this hospital to Dr. Meigs 
for other ways in which he has testified his interest for the Institution,— 
notably in procuring for it pecuniary aid, and in the thorough manner in 
which he has completed the historical record of the hospital to the year 
1876. 
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be engrossed, signed, on 
behalf of the Board, by the President and Secretary, and sent to Dr, 
Meigs.
