AMERICAN HOSPITAL.
Applications for admission into the American Hospital must hereafter be made
to the American Consul, A. B. Corwine, Esq., who is authorized to grant permits
for that purpose.
Notice is also hereby given to persons admitted into the Hospital that after
they shall have been pronounced convalescent by the Resident Physician, they
will be required to leave the premises, as the institution was established for
the benefit of the destitute sick, and not for the maintenance of paupers.
