The reports from the City and County Hospital showed that in January 415 patients were admitted, and 350 remained there on January 31; the number of deaths was J4, and the monthly expanses $7366 25. On February 17 there were 7W inmates at tho ms house, of whnni 204 were in the hospital there were 14 deaths, and the expenses amounted to $6G14 91. The reports vl the plumbing inspectors, City Physician and Receiving Hospital burgeon were read and placed On file. From January 20 to February 17 the Market Inspectors condemned 7000 pounds of beef, 100 of pork, 100 of cheese, 4 dozen ducks and 3 slandered horses.

A letter from the Secretary of the State of Health, requesting the San Francisco board to bo time its next monthly meeting that the State board could attend It, was read, and the request ordered to be so folitwed. The board resolved to go in a body and visit Barns and Bogan's premises ou Dolores street to ascertain whether they coustitute the nuisance as claimed in a communication from Dr. L. J. La Tourneux.

The sentiment of the board seemed to be that the alleged nuisance is a police offense. Dr. Mays moved that the position of engineer at tho City and County Hospital he declared vacant. It was carried, the Mayor, Drs. Mays and Kegensberger voting ayo and Long and Bucknall no.

By the same voting majority, on Dr. May's motion, Charles Murray was appointed to the vacant position. THE PEfITHOUSK. Dr. liegeusbi'rcer in very strong terms described the dilapidated and wretched condition of the Tweuty-sixth-street Hospital.

said ho would rather see any friend of his dio than to let liim be sent He protested against any patient being sent to buch an unsuitable place. lie advocated the erection of cheap wooden barracks on the City and County Hospital and suggested that the Health Officer visit the Twenty-sixth-street placo and condemn it. The Mayor said it was a question of money, and, on bis suggestion, the Finance Committee of the board was instructed to meet the Finance Committee of the Supervisors to discuss the matter. Dr. Mays protested ngamst moving the pest-house to the City and County Hospital and spoke fervidly in favor of Buag Rock as a location, iie called the rock ideal site" and painted its beauties so that even the strongest supporters of the scheme would hardly recognize it.

Bticknall was as strongly opposed to Shag Rock as Dr. Maya was in favor of it. He thought the location fur a pest-houao siiuiild bo in tho City and County Hospital ids. Dr. Keifengberj'T denounced the Shag icbeoe vigorously.

MOM.V LACKING. The Mayor again drew attention to tho lack of money to do anything about the Fest-housc. When the new fiscal year commenced, however, as the tax levy would briiiK in larger receipts than ever before, the board's larger appropriation would then allow it to consider what to do. Dr. Segaosberffor present hospital is oufiC to repair, and it would be better to put upteoU h'-ated by ttoves than to patcb and tinkei about tbe old place, lie then Rpoka of tho nued ol a hospital for incurables.

While talking on this subject Dr. Mays again brought up Miau Rock. He called it "a very pleasant spot and easy of access." Dr. Long suggested buying some bay land near the rock, and building the Pest-house there. Alter further dUrussion of the merits and demerits of Sbag Kock, the Mayor said that if any wished a regular Kilkenny battle oil that was needed was to advocate building a hospital anywhere in tho city and county of San Francisco, and finally rock vii dropped pro torn.

Dr. suggested that if a smallpox epidemic struck the city, many houses could be rented in the suburbs lor patients and quarantined. There was a grand chorus of You just try to rent a house for a smallpox hospital," and Dr. Long took bis seat with a thoughtful brow. After Mrs.

Weaver, wife of the Almshouse Superintendent, had read a paper describing all about that institution, the board adjourned.

A Well-Known Actress Loses Her Voice and Health, And the Story of Hep Complete Be- covery of Both. New York Mrs.

Carrie I'ettingill, better known to the public as Carrie Fxazer, the actress, now residing at 17G Forsyth street, this city, said to the writer: "A few years ago in Baltimore I caught a severe cold. I could not speak above a whisper. It was caused, the doctors told me, by bronchial catarrh. "At first it was only a severe cold, but it grew worse, and I had to leave the company and come home. A dreadful cough soon got hold of me, and I out myself under the best medical care and had only a slight benefit.

"My appetite failed me and I could hardly bear the sight of food, and the little I ate had no taste and lay litre a piece of lead on my stomach. I gradually lost weight and strength. MRS. CARRIE I would sit up late at night, dreading to retire, for I could not sleep for coughing, hawking and raising phlegm. Sometimes this phlegm would seem to be dropping bacK into my throat.

Iv the morning I felt worse then when I went to bed, and on rising I would have se- vere pains usually in mv left side, some- times in the right, also pains in my chest, through to my shoulder blades. I thorght sure it was consumption. My throat was nearly always swollen and raw inside, so it hurt me to talk, while my became so weak and inflamed that 1 could not read the papers by gaslight. 1 read in the papers of case 3 cured by Dr. Blair and associates when their troubles were similar to mine and that tho charges were very reasonable, so 1 concluded to give them a month's trial.

"In two months I thought I was entirely now I am sure of it. And lam as well and better than I have been In ten years, and weigh twenty-four pounds more than I did sixty days ago. My cough has entirely left me, no more headaches or pains in my side or chest, and my throat is quite well. My friends stop and stare at me in amazement when I meet them, the remarkable change. In conclusion, i want to say I have not the least sign of any of mv former troubles, and I feel better than 1 ever have felt.

"Don't forget how highly I am pleased at the recovery of my voice. It is my liveli- hood, you know." 810 a Month Until April 1. From this date and until April 1, 1892, Drs.
