NEW HOSPITAL ACQUIRED

The Boston Dispensary has been taken over by the Harvard Medical School. This institution, located on the corner of Ash and Bennet streets, is the third oldest in the country. For the coming year, Dr. W. P. Lucas of the University Medical Faculty will be at its head. With the completion of the new Peter Bent Brigham Hospital of fifteen buildings, which is being constructed on Longwood avenue near the Medical School, and which will be under the exclusive control of the University, Harvard's facilities for giving its students practical clinical instruction will be almost unlimited. Except for the Grace and the Boston University Hospitals, Harvard is now in control of all the chief medical institutions of Boston. During the past year, closing September 20, 104,134 visits were paid by patients to physicians at the Boston Dispensary, and nearly 100,000 prescriptions were dispensed.
