Appeal on behalf of the Duchess of York's Maternity Centre by Lady OSSULSTON.
THE district served by this clinic is somewhat remote from the range of any other similar institution, and the district itself is terribly overcrowded. The clinic (which was started two years ago) looks after poor mothers before the birth of their babies, and nurses them in their homes after the birth. Tho staff of the clinic consists of a resident doctor and some students (all of whom pay for their own board and keep), a nurse, a chauffeur-dispenser, and a non-resident health visitor. It is most economically run, but extension into an adjoining building has become necessary, and it is to pay for this that the appeal is being made tonight.
