Original description by George Birch in 1894
Situated in Whitechapel Road, &., [sic] was founded for the treatment and relief of the sick and injured poor. In-patients are admitted by the recommendation of a subscriber or governor, but accidents and urgent cases are admitted at any time and without any recommendation. Out-patients are seen daily—general cases at 1.30 p.m., and special cases at different hours. Visitors to patients are admitted on Tuesdays and Fridays from 4 to 5, and Sundays from 3 to 5, exception being made only in the case of a dangerous illness, or of visitors coming up from the country. There are in this hospital special wards for the reception of patients of the Jewish faith.
