[ beg to state that my Apothecary, Dr. T. Grange Simons, who also performed the duties of House Physician, has given his earnest and zealous attention to the work entrusted to him, and lias efficiently seconded me in the effort made for the relief and comfort of the inmates. I cannot conclude my Report without also commending the assiduous and diligent manner in which my Steward, Mr. Tor- la)', and his assistants, have performed their various duties. Very respectfully, F. PBYEE POECHEE, M.D., Surg con in Charge. City Hospital. Mazyck Street, ) Charleston, January 1, 18GS. j Dr. George S. Pelzer, City Registrar, &c., of H. I). Sir: — Until last May. the City Hospital, Mazyck street, re- mained as at date of my last Report, January 1st, 18G7 — the Refugees under the care of Dr. F. Peyre Porcher, the Freedmen and Insane under my charge, in separate and distinct apart- ments. A necessity having arisen for increased accommodations, from the crowded state of the Wards, and tjie great number of appli- cations for Hospital relief, a suitable building was leased, and the Refugees moved, thus leaving the apartments formerly oc- cupied by them, having first undergone extensive alterations and improvements under your immediate direction, for the Freedmen. As will be seen by reference to the accompanying Report, there have been six hundred and eighty (G80) Freedmen, and one hundred and eighty (180) Refugees admitted and treated during the past twelve (12) months, involving almost eveiy variety of case. Medical, Surgical, and Obstetrical ; the mortality among the Freedmen being one in five and two-thirds, (5f,) whilst among the Refugees but one in fifteen (15.) This com- pares favorably with that of the previous year. It should be borne in mind that many cases reported as hav- ing died in the Hospital were in a moribund condition, when admitted ; some were not even taken to the Wards. The pa- tients usually received, are those who have been most neglected, deprived not only of food, but of shelter; and where shelter may have been afforded, it was in ill ventilated and crowded apart- ments. The very large proportion and increase in the number of cases of Struma and Tubercle among the Freedmen, is a matter, I think, worthy of remark, confirmatory of the experience of Dr. McGuire, Professor of Surgery of Virginia Medical College, and Physician in charge of Freednien's Hospital at Richmond. 90 Scrofulous Ulcers, Scrofulous Abscess, Tuberculosis of Joints, Tuberculous Deposits in the Lungs, or other Organs, Scrofulous swelling of the Glands, &c, are so general, that more than ninety-five hundredths (95-100) of the patients admitted to this Hospital are more or less thus affected, and every autopsy that has been performed has confirmed most strikingly this truth. Quite a large number have been admitted to the Insane De- partment from time to time, beingtransferred to the Asylum at Columbia as the necessities of the case required. Though the stay of such cases at this Hospital is usually very short, it is greatly to be regretted that the conveniences for treatment, and the arrangements of this special apartment, are from necessity so imperfect. The number of patients daily under my care has averaged over one hundred and thirty (130.) It affords me much pleasure to bear testimony to the prompt and faithful manner in which the officers and attendants at this Hospital have discharged their duties. To Dr. C. W. Horsey and Mr. Andrew Yates, Apothecary and House Physician, as well as Mr. Arthur Fairley, Steward, I am particularly indebted for valuable assistance, which they have at all times so cheer- fully rendered. Very respectfully, S. CHATBUEX BPvOWN. M.D., City Physician in Charge. Date Due — Anu ' -v^ft t 1 Z OO j ( 577: — — - — rrn JUL 2 5 W mti 1 5 '4& CM 4fc— T^- Form 335 — 35M — 9-34— C, P..
