THE QUEEN'S HOSPITAL.

To the Editor. Sir—May we earnestly uppcal to the generosity of the public for donations in support of this new Hospital and Training School, established (with the gracious approval of Her Majesty the Queen and with the consent of the Directors General of the Navy and Army Medical Services), at Frognal, Sidcup, Kent, for the treatment of many of our most grievously wounded men? This model institution, with its plastic and dental operating theatres, erected and equipped on the most scientific principles, will fulfil a great need, the chief among its objects being to remove acute cases of facial and jaw injuries from the atmosphere of crowded hospitals into fresh country air and- delightful surroundings, and so give these terrible wounds every chance to heal more rapidly after the frequent operations which are necessary; also to provide cheerful outdoor occupation for the men, who frequently have tg, remain under treatment for eighteen months to two years, and who suffer so acutely from mental depression. Many of the cases are beyond description. Liberal grants have been made by the British Red Cross Society and Order of St John and the National Relief Fund towards the cost of building, but a large sum is still required to complete and equip the Hospital and workshops, and to provide for their upkeep. Donations should be sent addressed to C. H. Kenderdine, Esq., Hon. Secretary and Treasurer, St. Stephen's House, Westminister, S.W. ,1, marked "The Queen's Hospital." Cheques should be crossed "Lloyds Bank."-VWe are, etc., ""> FRENCH, F.St CLARENDON. COHISANDE RODNEY, , ROSAMOND CORBET. HEATH HARRISON. HWGH W. DRUMMOND. WALTER PEACOCK.
