'• -. \ CHARTER AND BYE-LAWS QF THE NEW-YORK DISPENSARY. INSTITUTED 1790, " I was sick, and ye visited ttie." NEW-YORK : /-... % ^**l -Jt. ■*■■ __--—-" PRINTED BY C. S. VAN WINKLE, OPPOSITE THE CITY-HALL. 1810. t PREFACE. THE poor, when confined by sickness, have a peculiar claim upon the benevolence of those whose circumstances enable them to administer to their wants. For their relief many institutions have been established in this city. While the New-York Hospital, the Aims-House, and the Lying-in-Hospital receive those who are among the most destitute, and are deprived of every domestic ac- commodation, the Dispensary provides assistance for that description of poor, who when deprived by disease of the earnings of their daily labour, are also deprived of the means of procuring the medical assistance necessary for their relief. The mechanic who cannot without great inconconve- nience leave his family to reside in an Hospital, the mo- ther who cannot be separated from her children, the ten- der infant who requires the constant care and assistance of a fond parent, those who labour under chronic diseases, and are thence not objects of the Hospital, are the peculiar objects of this charity. The benefits arising from an institution of this sort, by which the poor are relieved at their own habitations, require no illustration. Its utility in this city has been long experienced and acknowledged, but the number of our inhabitants having considerably increased since the first institution of the Dispensary, and the objects of its charity having multi- plied in proportion, the trustees have found it necessary to (4) enlarge the establishment, thereby to render it more ex- tensively useful. For this purpose they have divided the city into four districts, and have appointed a Physician to each, whose duty it will be to give constant attention to the poor, who •are the objects of the Dispensary. To secure to the sick the benefits of additional advice, they have appointed four consulting Physicians, who will be called on by the attending Physicians in all difficult or dangerous cases. The Directors of the KinerPock institution having transferred their duties to the Dispensary, it will also be a primary object of the Trustees of this Institution to dif- fuse the benefits of Vaccine Innoculation among the poor. That the duties of this department may be executed in such manner as will be most beneficial to the community, they have appointed a physician, whose peculiar business it will be to attend at the Dispensary for the purpose of vaccinating such poor as shall be recommended by the subscribers. The regulations which have been adopted relative to this department, and the alterations which have been made in the mode of conducting the ordinary business of the Dispensary, will be seen in the Bye-Laws which are herewith published for the information of the con- tributors.
