    Notes: The Baltimore Infirmary or University Hospital, is the property of, and under the exclusive control of, the faculty of the Medical Department of the University of Maryland, and has been spoken of in connection with that school. Sick sailors coming to the port of Baltimore are treated here, therefore this is sometimes called the “Marine Hospital.”
