[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] you allow us through
the medium of your columns to call the attention of the general public to the needs of the Gordon Hospital for Rectal Diseases, in the Vauxhall Bridge Road?
It is a small special hospital of thirty beds. For the last twenty-eight years it has been doing excellent work, the chief feature of which is that it provides for those who are unable to defray the expense of private treatment, but who are yet not suitable subjects for a general hospital. To this class of the community there is very little help extended, yet they often need it more than those belonging to the class below them.
To meet such cases the hospital was established, and its Com- mittee expect all patients to pay on a graduated scale according to their means for their actual maintenance: all surgical and medical treatment is free. They are thus enabled to get every- thing they require and yet maintain their independence. We shall be only too glad to give any further information to anyone who may desire to take an interest in a most deserving institution, and any donations to the above fund will be gratefully acknowledged by ourselves or by the Secretary of the Hospital, Carl St. Amory, Esq., at the Gordon Hospital, Vauxhall Bridge Road, S.W.—We are, Sir, &c., Hxxar SIETONALIRB, Chairman.
