Secondly, that whereas I am in course of building upon the said acre of ground an Hospital or Infirmary for that class of people, domiciled in one or other of said parishes of Kilmonivaig and Kilmallie, who are above receiving or taking parochial aid, but whose circumstances are such that they cannot afford to pay for medical assistance, and who shall meet with accidents, or become afflicted with fevers, or other diseases or maladies requiring frequent medical attendance, but who shall not be paupers or entitled to parochial board relief; and for the wives of poor shepherds in one or other of said two parishes, living at a distance, and about to be confined, who may be admitted gratuitously for the purpose of confinement and after treatment; Therefore I direct that my Trustees shall finish and furnish the said Hospital, if not done in my lifetime, and shall thereafter pay for the support and maintenance thereof for ever, including a Salary for a House Surgeon, wages of Housekeeper and others to be appointed or engaged by them; also for repairing and upholding of the building, grounds, and inclosure; and further, the expense of such reasonable supply of medicines to outdoor indigent patients of the above class, as they shall think proper."
