Appeal on behalf of the Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables, Putney, by the Duke of Devonshire, M.c.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to The Duke of Devonshire, Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables, [address removed]
The Royal Hospital and Home for Incurables was founded in 1854 by Dr. Andrew Reid for the purpose of caring for hopelessly crippled men and women who by disease, accident, or deformity are disqualified for the normal duties of life.
Patients, of all ages from twenty-one upwards and from all over the country, are those who can no longer be looked after in their own homes, but are happy in the knowledge that in this hospital they have the security and comfort of a home for the rest of their lives.
After 103 years this great voluntary
Hospital and Home still carries on the tradition of its founder * that every case should be treated hopefully.' The cost last year was more than £ 145,000. This year it will be more than £ 150,000, and the hospital will be faced with a deficit of about £ 20,000 unless voluntary income can be increased.

In eleven parts by Howard Agg
8-' Vital Evidence '
Produced by Martyn C. Webster
Urged in flattering terms, Rachel Verinder is persuaded to accept the proposal of Godfrey Ablewhite to become his wife, but she asks that the news of their engagement should be kept secret until her mother has recovered from a heart-attack. But Lady Verinder does not recover, and Rachel is left under the care of Godfrey's father-Joshua Ablewhite. It is decided that she will stay with the Ablewhites in the house they have taken at Brighton, and thither she is accompanied by her legal adviser, Mr. Bruff.
Mr. Bruff, perturbed at Rachel's intention to marry Godfrey Ablewhite , a man whom he regards as an impostor and adventurer, confides the reasons for his distrust so forcibly that Rachel determines to break off her engagement and return to London at once.
