Liriimeiif Dear Mr. Editor:-- Thanks for your kindness in allowing me the privilege of appealing to your readers this Christmas time on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the "Sweetest of all Charities," which has as its mission the care of the helpless, the sick, the crippled and the deformed. There never was a year in the history history of the Hospital when funds to carry on the work were more needed than now. Your purse is the Hospital's Hope. Your money lights the candles of merey on the Christmas trees of health that the Hospital plants along the troubled roadway of many a little life. So I am asking-you for aid, 1 for the open purse of the Hospital's friend is the hope of the Hospital at Christmas, just as the open door of the Hospital's mercy is the hope of the little children throughout the year. Calls on generoes hearts are many in- these times. Calls on the Hospital are many at all times, and especially when food and fuel and drugs and service service costs are soaring high. YOU know the high cost of living. Do you know the high cost of healing--of helping the helpless to ' happiness? What you do to assist is the best investment investment you will ever make. Do you realize what this charity is doing for sick children, not only of Toronto, but for all Ontario, fQL.out of a total of 3,740 * in-p.atients last year 646 came from 254 places outside of Toronto. The field of the Hospital's service covers the entire Province-- from the Ottawa to the far-off Kenora --from the borders of the Great Lakes to the farthest northerly district. The Hospital is doing a marvellous work. If you .could see the children with crippled limbs, club feet, and tlier deformities, who have left the lospltal with straightened limbs and terfect correction, your response to _>ur 'appeal would be instant. In the Orthopedic Departments last year a total.Of 330 in-patients were treated; 'and in the Oüt-Patient Department there were 1,946 attendances. Let. your money and the Hospital's mercy lift the burden of misery that curses the lives, crippfas the limbs and saddens the mothers of the suffering suffering little children. Money mobilizes the powers of help and healing for the Hospital's drive day and night against the trenches where disease; and pain and death assail the lives of the little ones. -'Remember that every dollar given to the Hospital is a dollar subscribed to the Liberty Loan that opens the prisons, of jgain and the Bastilles of disease, 'and sets little children free to breathe".the pure ally and to rejoice in the mercy of Grid's sunlight. Will you s<end a dollar, or more if /you can, to Douglas Davidson, Secre* Tàry-Treasurer, or J.
