the patients of the house have at anie time suffered through theire
fault or neglect, Therefore and the rather for that (As it seemes to the
Comittee) The Indulgence of such Liberty and aforesaid to the Chirur -
-geons of the house would tend to draw an unneccessary charge upon
the same by occationeing a Lavish and profuse Expence of the druggs
and Phisick thereof.
