An Appeal on behalf of THE GENERAL LYING-IN HOSPITAL, LAMBETH, by the Rt. Hon. Sir JOHN SIMON , G.C.S.I.,
K.C.V.O.
For one hundred and seventy years, the General Lying-in-Hospital, known to thousands as ' The G.L.I.', has ministered to poor mothers and their babies either at the hospital or in their own homes by providing them with the best of medical and nursing attention at a time which is, perhaps, the most critical in a woman's life. During the last ten years over 21,000 mothers have been attended.
It was at this hospital that Lister, then its honorary surgeon, worked out the application of his antiseptic principles to maternity cases.
