Aid For All No family that has 25 cents for a registration card and ten cents for each bottle of medicine used has been refused aid, and in a number of cases even these small |stipulations have been dispensed with, Dr. Gekeler stated.

In this crisis we are ap- pealing to each and every one in the city who can afford ‘to give anything to do so. Every penny counts. One wishing to donate may get in touch with any of the members of the Welfare Advisory ‘Council.. This Council is com- posed of Mrs. Robert Spottswood, president; Dr. J. C.

You can be cer- tain that your money goes to perhaps the most worthy cause in the city at this time. The un- told suffering, misery, sickness and death prevented by the opera- tion of this Clinic cannot be ap- preciated until one has seen the work at close hand.- All this in a large measure-Will be alleviated by your subscriptions. Help as much as you can!” The total number of treatments of patients at the Clinic from January through November of 1937 were 3541. The total num- ber of prescriptions filed were 2585. In the Board of Health work, the total number of field visits from January through November were 118; Tetanus Antitoxin to- tal, 16; Pre-natal visits; 206; Ac- cients, 12; Venereal visits, 268; Sewing Room and Mattress Fac- years are Mr. and Mrs, Berlin Knowles, and sons, Frank and Billy, and Mr. and Mrs. J.
