In order to extend the usefulness of tho St. Helens Hospitals it has been decided by the Minister of Public ] Health (the Hon. G. W. Russell) to open an outdoor department for expectant mothers, when they may obtain advice on their condition and thus by timely treatment avert some of the dangerous complications of childbirth. It is not intended to restrict this advice to those women only who propose to enter St. Helens for confinement, but to all who may not be able, during the term of their prognancy, to afford medical advice. Patients of outside doctors will therefore be welcomed, and the co-operation of the medical profession is asked for to make the scheme a success. Tho St. Helens Hospitals arc intended to provide facilities for women of moderato means. Tift cost is at the rate of £1 per week whilst the patient is awaiting confinement, and £1 10s per week which covers medical assistance, nursing, and maintenance after the child is born. Expectant mothers are invited to visit the Home, situated at Durham street, Sydenham, and consult the matron and medical superintendent.
