THE POTTERIES FUND.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—The Potteries Fund, which provides convalescent treatment for women and girls suffering from lead-poisoning, is very low indeed—so low that the committee are for the moment unable to take advantage of this glorious weather. Each bright, sunny day as it comes has for them a sting of bitterness, for they know by experience that in the country or by the sea renewed health and vigour await their tired sufferers ; and though they long to make the most of these early days, when everything is so freshly green and full of hope, the lack of money prevents them. Will not your readers help ? The committee arrange the details. They give of their time, but the public they ask, and ask earnestly, for money to make their work effective. Everyone uses china manufactured with a lead glaze. Everyone, therefore, contributes to the workers' suffering. Will no one help to relieve it ?—I am, Sir, &c., The Glen, Camberley. M. MAY SCHUSTER (Hon. Sec.).
