It is not,intended to confine this advico to thoso women. onlywho : intoiid. to enter St._,.Helens'; for but to all .who may not be' able,, during tho term of their pregnancy, to afford'medical advice. - - , . , >•

Patients of outside doctors will therethe co-operation' or the medical profession is,'asked for to make tho scheme a success.' At tho present time, -when all doctors |.are so. busy.' the' establishment of such a department should greatly assist thorn,-as many cases of difficult labour and loss of both mother and child aro duo to lack of tho advico and ' treat-ment-now. freely offered by '{lie "Department.
