St. Luke's Hospital, on Fifty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, is a noble
institution, and one of the prettiest places on the great thoroughfare of
fashion. Its erection is due to the labors of the Rev. Dr. W. A.
Muhlenberg. It is the property of the Episcopal Church, by which body it
is conducted. The sick are nursed here by the "Sisters of the Holy
Communion," a voluntary association of unmarried Protestant ladies. The
hospital has accommodations for over one hundred patients, and is said to
be the best conducted of any denominational charity in the city.
Patients who are able to pay are required to do so, but the poor are
received without charge.

The Roosevelt Hospital, a magnificent structure, is situated on West
Fifty-ninth street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues, and is to furnish,
when completed, accommodations for 600 patients. It is the gift of the
late Jas. H. Roosevelt of New York to the suffering.

James Lenox.

The Roman Catholic Church conducts the Hospitals of St. Francis and St.
Vincent, the former on East Fifth street, and the latter on the corner of
Eleventh street and Seventh avenue. These two institutions contain about
250 beds.

The German Hospital, Seventy-seventh street and Fourth avenue, is, as
yet, incomplete. It was erected by the German citizens of New York, but
receives patients of every nationality and color. The poor are received
without charge under certain restrictions. There are accommodations for
about seventy-five patients in the present buildings. Connected with the
hospital is a dispensary from which medical advice and medicines are
given to the poor.

The Jews of New York have just completed a magnificent edifice, known as
the Mount Sinai Hospital, on Lexington avenue, between Sixty-sixth and
Sixty-seventh streets. It will contain 200 beds. The present Hebrew
Hospital, in Twenty-eighth street, near Eighth avenue, contains about
sixty-five beds. The Jews also have a burial ground, in which those of
their faith who die in the Hospital are buried wi
