Appeal on behalf of the Empire Rheumatism Council by the Chairman, W. S. C. Copeman O.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. ,
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Empire Rheumatism Council was founded in 1936 to organise and coordinate research into the causes and means of treatment of rheumatism, arthritis, fibrositis, and allied diseases; to encourage teaching; and to stimulate public authorities to provide treatment. There are reputed to be more than three million sufferers from rheumatism in the United Kingdom, and success in the study and treatment of rheumatism would bring relief from pain and suffering and restore the blessing of a life free from incapacity. The Empire Rheumatism Council is dependent upon voluntary support.

Young Jolyon Forsyte , who tells the story of the Forsyte family, has the unpleasant task of identifying the body of Philip Bosinney, who, engaged to June but in love with Soames's wife Irene, has been killed in an accident. Meanwhile Irene has left her husband's house and is living in a little flat in Chelsea where she teaches music. Here the eldest Forsyte, Old Jolvon, feeling old and lonely and reaching the end of his life, pays Irene a visit and tries to help her to reconstruct her life. He has also made his peace with his son Jolyon, from whom he had so long been estranged.
