On the ground floor of the house are apartments for the resident physician and Matron, the dispensary &c. On the second storey are lofty, well lighted and airy wards for ordinary patients, the males occupying the north end and the females to the south. The third storey is set apart for fever & small-pox patients, a separate entrance having recently been formed for the latter class. Dr. Alexander Gray, the benevolent founder of this institution was a native of Elgin, and having acquired an ample fortune while in the service of the East India Company, he bequeathed the munificent sum of £20,000 for the building and endowment of an hospital. Besides the resident physician, two medical attendants visit the Hospital daily & the Committee of the Town Council inspect it monthly, & report the number of patients & state of the Establishment. |
