Medical Dispensary.—This interesting association, which has alleviated so great a portion of the distresses of the unfortunate in this town, has thus far, met the most sanguine expectations of its benevolent supporters. The report of the attending physicians, which we publish to-day, reflects much credit upon the physicians who have voluntarily bestowed their services, to advance the designs of the Dispensary. It is an honorable trait in the character of the medical profession, that its services, when required, are never withheld from the poorest patients, though they can offer no pecuniary compensation. But in many cases, much suffering is experienced, from a reluctance to call upon a physician under such circumstances.—The Medical Dispensary obviates this difficulty, and its continued success must be earnestly desired by every friend of humanity.
