Medico Chirurgical Hospital scrutiny over state funds
A Philadelphia critique details the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital on Cherry Street below Eighteenth, noting a State appropriation of 190 000 for two years and contrasting it with larger hospitals like Pennsylvania and Episcopal. It argues the Medico-Chirurgical gains funds while treating many paying patients, with limited visible improvements despite a near million dollars total from state support over years.

Hospital Offer to Police Brings Accident Cases
The Medico-Chirurgical Hospital allegedly pays police to send accident cases there. A box of cigars is kept in the receiving ward and officers fill their pockets each time a case arrives. Patrols from multiple districts regularly transport accident victims to the hospital.
Garretson Hospital's $40,000 appropriation shocks officials
State legislators granted Garretson Hospital four times the size of grants to St. Agnes and St. Joseph’s, though the Garretson board had not recommended the funds. Board members express ignorance of the hospital and question the building allocation while noting the assembly’s precedence on maintenance. Dr. Shoemaker expresses cautious surprise and traces ties to the Philadelphia Dental College shares.
