FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL, Washington, D. C., September 30, 1886. SIR: I respectfully submit the annual report of this hospital for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886. From the tables presented it will be seen that 2,131 were admitted and cared for during the year, an increase of 111 over last year. Of the whole number treated, 734 were colored males, 694 were colored females, 596 were white males, 107 white females. These figures will give some idea of the general character of the institution, and correct the impression that it is confined to or designed for any special class. The management has bent every effort to make it a desirable place for all the unfortunate sick who may seek admission. These efforts have not been made in vain, as the above figures will show. During the year there were 206 surgical operations performed. The success attending these operations was all that could be desired. I will mention in this connection the principal ones: Amputation of thigh, 2; of leg, 2; of forearm, 1; of metacarpal bones, 1; of fingers, 17; of toes, 2; removal of fatty tumors, 11; of keloid tumors, 3; of fibroid tumor, 1; of epithelioma, 1; of cancer of breast, 2; paracentesis abdominis, 7; hydrocele, 5; tapping of bladder through rectum, 3; urethrotomy, 1; dilatation of stricture of urethra, 6; of stricture of rectum, 2; for phimosis, 6; ranula, 2; in-growing toe-nail, 2; paronychia, 1; extirpation of tonsil, 2; removal of foreign body from throat, 1; from hand, 3; from foot, 1; from ear, 1; repair of ruptured perinæum, 1; abscesses, 73; setting of fracture of inferior maxillary, 1; of fracture of vertebra, 1; of ribs, 3; of arm, 1; of forearm, 1; of radius, 1; of thigh, 3; of leg, 5; of metacarpal bones, 2; of tibia, 1; of fibula, 1; of compound comminuted fracture of leg, 1; of compound fracture of great toe, 1; reduction of dislocations, 4; gunshot wounds, 20. During the year there have been 117 cases of confinement, an increase of 25 over last year. As I have reported each year, nearly all of these cases are colored. I deem it my duty, as a simple act of justice, to anticipate any unfavorable comment that may be made against these unfortunates-for such they are. My contact with these people has been such as to enable me to say a good word for them. They are not bad women, not lewd; they belong to the laboring classare generally house servants, who are ignorant of the laws governing good society. They are without education, and have never been sur |
