This Hospital Is Governed By The Lord Mayor And Aldermen, With About
Three Hundred Other Substantial Citizens And Gentlemen Of
Quality,
who generally become benefactors; and from these and their friends
the hospital has been able to subsist such numbers
Of infirm people,
and to perform the surprising cures they have done; for the patients
are duly attended by the best physicians and surgeons in London, and
so well supplied with lodging and diet proper to their respective
cases, that much fewer miscarry here, in proportion, than in the
great hospital of invalids, and others the French so much boast of
in Paris.
Those that have the immediate care of the hospital are, the
president, the treasurer, the auditors of accounts, viewers of their
revenues, overseers of the goods and utensils of the hospital, and
the almoners, who buy in provisions and necessaries for the
patients.
A committee, consisting of the treasurer, almoners, and some other
of the governors, meet twice a week to inspect the government of the
house, to discharge such persons as are cured, and to admit others.
