KING EDWARD VII'S HOSPITAL FOR OFFICERS [To the Editor of

the SPECTATOR.]

am often asked by friends and relations of Officers We have nursed here if they could subscribe something to help the Hospital. We make no charge whatever for maintenance or nursing; but Officers are responsible for the payment of their physicians, surgeons and treatment. The treatments sometimes required are very expensive and include X-rays, massage, pathological reports, &c., so I am now starting a special fund to pay these expenses when Officers are unable to do so themselves. - If the mothers, wives or any of those who know and appreciate the work which has been carried out here since 1899 would like to help, either by donation- or annual sub-

scriptions of not less than is., these should be sent to

me at this address marked " Special Fund."—I am, Sir, &c.,

17 Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. 1. SISTER AGNES.

[The work of Sister Agnes' Hospital for Officers is so well known that it needs no words of commendation of ours. We hope that Sister Agnes will receive the financial assistance required for her special fund.—En. Spectator.]
