So that the Institution is in no sense a private speculation, but in all respects a Public Beneficonce. Its profits will go, not into the hands of individuals, but wholly into appropriate channels of usefulness and benevolence. A large proportion of the stock of the Corporation has already boon taken in Ithaca. Upon its stock the Institution is allowed to pay dividends not exceed- ing eight per cent., and in the end is expected to redeem its stock and own it- self. Donations are flowing into it to a limited extent, but should bo largely increased to enable the Institution to enter early upon that part of its work K Inch contemplates the medical education of Females and the gratuitous treat- ment of the poor. The Trustees call attention to the charter of the Institution, printod here- with ; and also to the address of Miss Nivison, lately delivered before tho citizens of Ithaca, a copy of which she has kindly placed at their disposal. As tho Institution is neither local nor limited in its objects and its aims, the Trustees appeal to all who aro interested in the results sought to bo obtained lor their encouragement and support.
