THE CONQUEST OF CANCER [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—May I request the hospitality of your columns to draw attention to the appeal which is being issued by the Cancer Hospital (Free), Fulham Road, London, S.W. 3 ?
So great a strain is now placed on the present accommoda- tion that the extension of the hospital has become imperatively necessary. More beds for in-patients are wanted, and enlarge- ment and rearrangement of research, special, and out-patients' departments are also urgently required. To meet these requirements we must appeal to the public.
It is proposed to provide a certain number of beds for " middle-income " patients, and thus extend the benefits of the hospital to that very large proportion of the population who, though unable to bear heavy expense, can afford to contribute towards their cost. We estimate the sum required at about £150,000.
An appeal fund has been opened at Messrs. Coutts and Co., 440 Strand, London, W.C. 2, and we appeal with confidence to the sympathy of the public for their generous support. Any donation, large or small, will be gratefully received and acknowledged on behalf of the appeal committee by the Secretary, the Cancer Hospital (Free), Fulham Road, London,
