By this means tlin^ Fdreßterß"would"niake "sure of having a place to which bad^c^ pay might be senti and though; the Courti would pay the cost of keeping the ■invalids, they would also pay them the £1 per week to which they are'entitled'when sick. In the past members^ hiaye liad to pay this £1 to the Hospital' for^Ueir keep/ and have consequently lost" all. the benefit of the society.
