MONTREAL GENERAL HOSPITAU 
 
 WMMMPm 
 
 HIS Institution originated in the acknowledged^ 
 and growing insufficiency of the accomodations for 
 the reception^ and cure of Diseased Poor, the number 
 of whom has for some years past, increased beyond the 
 natural proportion, of the population, by the almost con- 
 tinual arrival and passage of emigrants through the 
 city. ,0 
 
 It was therefore proposed to endeavour to raise by vo- 
 luntary Subscription, the means of building an Hospital 
 sufficient tor this purpose. This has succeeded beyond 
 the most sanguine expectation : and although a consid- 
 erable sum has been expended beyond the means deri- 
 ved from that source, yet it is confidently hoped that the 
 deficiency will hereafter be made up by those well dis- 
 posed in the cause of humanity.
