Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The "War of Extermination"
Professors, as they could afford to advance, met the expenses of the whole establishment, including the Eye Infirmary; most of the patients in which, were beneficiaries. The loss of the watermen, was followed of course, by the loss of the income from pupils, for the number of our patients was too small to warrant our selling hospital tickets; and con sequently, our revenues for the support of the Eye Infirmary, were dried up. We, however, kept the establishment open, for more than a twelve-month afterwards, giving our students gratuitous admission, and sustaining its expenses from our ticket money as Professors; but finding the expense, too much to be borne, it was closed at the beginning of February, last, and thus, the pupils of our College, and the patients of the Cincinnati Eye Infirmary, (the latter chie?y poor persons of Ohio) were at once shut out from the benefits of instruction and cure, which it was fondly hoped, had been permanently created for them, without calling on our friends, society, or the state.
