LEBANON HOSPITAL.
 

One of the most recent acquisitions to the
list of prominent Jewish Charities of New
York, is the Lebanon Hospital, situated at
One Hundred and Fiftieth street and West-
 

Lebanon   Hospital.

Chester avenue. Although it sprang into ex¬
istence shortly before the financial crisis, it
has had a most remarkable and rapid develop¬
ment.

The property covers an area of over a square
block. The main building is a five-story solidly
built brick structure about 200 feet square, suf¬
ficient in size to accommodate about four hun¬
dred patients. A dairy, supplying an abund¬
ance of milk, and several hundred fowls, are
kept at one end of the premises, and during
the summer the patients receive all kinds
of fresh vegetables, raised in one of the gar¬
dens.

The Hospital was founded July 17, 1890,
and was opened for the reception of patients
February 22, 1893.

The founder and mainstay of the Hospital is
Jonas Weil, through whose liberality and tire¬
less zeal the success of the undertaking was
largely assured. Others came to his assist¬
ance, and by their enthusiastic efforts and en¬
deavors the Institution grew and prospered,
so that, after two and one-half years since its
opening, it now stands estimated at about one-
quarter of a million in property value ; reno¬
vated, well-equipped, and running fifty-five
beds; a dispensary and a training school for
 

nurses annexed, and with no debt other than
$62,500 on the property, and a floating debt
of $4,500.

The officers of the Institution are : Jonas
Weil, President; M. Peabody, First Vice-
President ; S. Jarmulowsky, Second Vice-
President ; Leo Hutter, Treasurer; M. Levin,
Secretary; General Superintendent, Dr.
Gustav Liebermann. The Institution is under
the control of a Board of Managers of thirty,
elected by the Lebanon Hospital Association.
An efficient Medical Board of six is in charge
of that branch of its work.

A Ladies' Auxiliary Society and a League
of Young Folks are valuable adjuncts of the
society.
 

BRIQHTSIDE   DAY  NURSERY  AND
KINDERGARTEN,

15s Norfolk Street.
 

This institution, which is now in operation
and has been so for the past year, is designed
to take care of the infants and children of
working mothers, who, being relieved during
the day of the care and burden of their little
ones, can pursue their daily occupation, or
find labor whereby to support themselves and
their families, who would otherwise be des¬
titute. Children are admitted to the institu¬
tion at all ages from ten days to six years—
children from three to six years of age are
under the care of competent Kindergarten
managers—those from ten days to three years
of age are in the charge of a trained nurse.
All are daily provided with meals and medical
attendance.

Owing to this good work, many mothers
have been made self supporting, and in the
event of children being motherless, the fathers
are granted the privileges of the institution.

Board of officers: President, Mrs. Sol R.
Guggenheim ; First Vice-President, Miss Ida
demons; Second Vice-President, Mr. James
Loeb ; Trea.surer, Miss Helen C. Hornthal;
Secretary, Miss Minnie Unger, assisted by a
Board of Managers of eighteen, and eleven
members of an Executive Staff".
