MOORFIELDS [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] • Sin,—Few people,
perhaps, realize to what extent the incomes of voluntary hospitals were affected by the General Strike—the business man in a bad trade year- cuts his subscription list, and the charitable public is either too harassed or too cautious to give as usual. 1926 was to-luiVe been " Extension Year " at " Moorfields," which, although the largest Eye Hospital in the Empire, has long been in need of extra accommodation. The appeal for the necessary money (E33,000) could not be launched, and 1927 finds this Hospital with a more acute need for extension than ever.
We earnestly ask that your readers, remembering the thousands of men, women and children who come for treat- ment from all parts of the country, will associate themselves with " Moorfields " in its time of need.—I am, Sir, &c.,
THEODORE W. LumNo, Chairman.
J. HUBERT Fisuna, Senior Surgeon.
Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital, City Road, E.C. 1.
