The Glasgow Public Dispensary was established
for the purpose of giving gratuitous medical advice to
persons in necessitous circumstances not receiving
parochial relief, and is conducted by various medical
officers, each giving advice in a special department
of disease to which he has devoted himself.
Opportunities are afforded to students to study
special diseases under the medical staff, who conduct
cUniques twice weekly. Patients unable to come to
the dispensary are visited at their own houses by
students under the supervision of the medical officers.
The dispensary is supported by voluntary contribu-
tions, but advice being gratuitous, it is expected that
those who are able will pay for medicine supplied.
