GLASGOW PUBLIC DISPENSARY.
54 Dundas Street, City.
The Glasgow Public Dispensary was established iu
1877 for the purpose of giving gratuitous medica)
advice to persons in necessitous circumstances, and is-
conducted by various medical officers each giving
advice in a special department of disease to which he-
has devoted himself. The Institution is supported
by voluntary contributions, but advice being grat-
uitous, it is expected that those of the patients whc-
are able will contribute something towards the pay-
ment of medicine supplied.
