1. When there is not room in the Hospital for all the Patients recommended at one time, the most urgent cases are selected and admitted; the other cases are made Out-patients, or postponed, till there is a vacancy in the House.
2. No Child suffering under Small-Pox is received into the House. Many cases of Rickets, of Hip-Joint Disease, or of Scrofulous Disease of the Spine or of too Joints, are of necessity refused, either because they are quite incurable, or because they require nothing but rest for many months, or because good diet and fresh air for months or years are essential to improvement; and the reception of such cases would convert the Hospital into an Asylum for Sickly Children, instead of a place for the treatment and cure of the Diseases of Childhood: such cases, therefore, can be received only on a Special Medical Certificate.
3. In case of Patients sent from the Country, Governors are earnestly requested to send a few days beforehand to the Lady Superintendant, in order that they may avoid the disappointment of finding that the Hospital is full, or that the case is not eligible for admission.
4. Subscribers of Two Guineas, and Donors of Twenty Guineas, can recommend One In-Patient in the year: Subscribers of Three Guineas, and Donors of Thirty, Two; Subscribers of Five Guineas, and Donors of Fifty, Four In-Patients; but the size of the Hospital, and its resources, do not at present admit of an extension of the privileges of Subscribers.
The Committee beg to intimate that presents of worn-out Table, Bed, or other Linen, articles of Children’s Clothing, Children’s Books, or Toys, are most valuable to the Charity.
