A NATIONAL EFFORT ■ » APPEAL FOR MOTHERS At a meeting of the Auckland branch of ,the National Council of Women, Dr. Doris Gordon, secretary of the Obstetrical Society, made a stirring appeal for the betterment of the mothers of the Dominion, states the "New Zealand Herald." She was visiting all centres of the Dominion in an effort to raise £25,000, this money to be used to endow a Dominion teachership of obstetrics. A Dominion medical chair of obstetrics was formed in 1927 for the further ana fuller study of midwifery in this country. . The society was trying to follow the example of the Home Country, where there were five working midwifery hospitals, the one in London having been in existence for the past 70 years. Here_ in New Zealand, though the theoretical training was excellent, we lagged twenty-five years behindhand in the most vital matter of the care of the mothers, stated the speaker. There was no endowment for midwifery, and there was not one single house surgeon post able to give all the necessary experience in this matter. The Government, continued the speaker, had granted a modern obstetrical hospital at Dunedin. Given this hospital, what they now needed was a full-time, young, active, and powerful teacher. They needed to make more and more efficient this great' branch of medicine. They needed specialists in it, and thoroughly trained, keen, medical men to foster and enlighten public opinion in this matter. In, her opinion, if only this chair • could be endowed and the resulting- benefits set in motion, then the Dominion mortality rate would be lessened by half. On their support, concluded Dr. Gordon, depended the life of a mother, of a child, ana also the happiness of a man.' The speaker was accorded a hearty vote of thanks, and the council passed the following resolution: That it commends to the sympathy of all constituent societies the appeal of the New Zealand Obstetrical Society for a £25,000 endowment fund for the midwifery department of the Dominion Medical Society; it also.trusts that the individual members of these constituent societies will help this women's welfare campaign by their sympathy, energy, and financial support.

"It's wonderful stuff, Sydal!" writes a fisherman. "I was out fishing some years ago and my hands got into a dreadful state. I tried several things with no effect, when someone recommended Sydal.
