XI. The Physician, who is allowed to have the liberty of pupils, attends
every committee day, and one other day in the week, and as often
otherwise as there is occasion. The Surgeon also attends the hospital
every weekly committee day, and as often as there is occasion; and the
six Apothecaries who generously attend and administer their medicines
gratis, are there monthly by rotation, attending every weekly committee
day, and two other days in the week, and as often at other times as
there is occasion.
XII. That every officer or servant who shall take any fee, gratuity or
reward, directly or indirectly, from any tradesman or other person
dealing with this hospital, patient, or friend of any patient, in
respect of any service done or to be done, shall forthwith be
discharged, and rendered incapable of being received again into the
service of this hospital. Except that it shall be lawful for the
Secretary of this hospital, upon his waiting on every Governor with a
staff and a printed copy of the rules and orders of this hospital, to
accept of a fee not exceeding one guinea.
Before we conclude this article it is proper to observe, that though
this hospital was opened so lately as the 30th of July 1751, yet so
great has been the encouragement it has met with, that on the 18th of
August 1758, the clear estate of the hospital amounted to 14,502l. of
which 14,200l. were in three _per cent._ East India annuities. At that
time the number of discharged cured, amounted to 247, and those uncured
to 138. Fifty patients were in the house; besides 20 patients who had
been before discharged, and received again at 5s. _per_ week.
