Charitable dispensary giving medical treatment to poor people
The Finsbury Dispensary, more fully the Finsbury Dispensary for Administering Advice and Medicines to the Poor,[1] was a charitable dispensary giving medical treatment to poor people in Finsbury, on the edge of the City of London. It was founded in 1780 by a Quaker, one George Friend. It operated from various premises during its existence in the 19th century, notably, between 1819 and 1838 it occupied a large, well-appointed house in St. John's Street, where it was sometimes called the New Finsbury Dispensary.[2][3][4]
