Appeal on behalf of the Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables, Putney, by the Lord Chancellor (Viscount Cave)

To be condemned to suffer from an incurable disease is a hard enough fate for anybody to bear, but when it befalls anyone who has not the means to live without working, it is doubly terrible. The Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables at Putney was founded in 1854 ' to relieve and to cherish for life persons of the poorer middle classes suffering from incurable maladies and thereby disqualified for life's duties; and here, in pleasant and beautiful surroundings, these sufferers are enabled to pass the remainder of their days in such measure of comfort as their affliction allows.
