By the annual report of the. dire@ors ‘of 
the York Difpenfary, it appears that the num- 
-ber of patients admitted between March 23, 
1738, and March,28, 1805, is 15,332. The 
ftatement for the lat year of that period is as 
follows :—Patients remaining wnder cure at 
the laft-annual-report, 122 5 admitted fince, 
$39 3 total, 961: of whom have been dif- 
5393 relieved, and time ex- 
pired, 282: died, 36 3 diftharged irregular, 
I; remaining undercure, 9). The difburfe- 
ments of laf year exceeded the receipts 5 but 
the Direftorsof the Difpenfary fatt-r them 
felves, that, when the extert of the g od 
which is obtained at fo fmall an-expence is 
taken into confideration, they need nct urge 
mack to excice the further liberality of the 
humane and benevolent in its fupport. The 
daily application for tickets, and the un- 
feigned gratitude and. thankfulnefs of the 
poor, are plea‘ing proofs of the eftimation in 
-which this charity is held by them.
