Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be ad'dressed to [address removed]
The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals provides for the free treatment of sick and injured animals of the poor. It teaches as it treats by instructing owners in the proper care of their animals, and children in the importance of preventing unnecessary animal suffering. Nearly a million cases were treated in the dispensaries, hospitals, and caravan dispensaries of the P.D.S.A. last year.
Christopher Stone is a member of the Society's Council of Management, and this appeal marks the fifteenth year of his association with the P.D.S.A.
