THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, DEC. 6, 1928 Hospital for Sick Children | RHEUMATIC VICTIMS' Pear Mr. Editor: -- For 3,.me years past the work that this Hospital aas Deerr able to do for the children of Ontario hag been seriously cramped through lack ot ■pace. A point was reached where the Trujsvees bad to decide whether Its service should be restricted to the utmost number of "Sick Kids' whom It could provide with cots or whether it should add to its room. There are many youngsters suffering from afflictions of the jpine and Joints, whom only many long months can restore to health and strength. Medical care will help; but what they principally need is fresh air and sunsHine. Hitherto the Hospital for Sick Children has looked after auch children in an institution etos by a city playground, where more fortunate boys and girls enjoy their sports. Imagine their plight, lying month after month listening to the shouts and laughter of other children. In October last, the Hospital for Sick Children opened its country j Can Find Relief Through 1 ing Up the Blood Interesting Study of Empire's War Time Premier I Crowded Cities Are "Sign of Decay' Mussolini Starts Campaign Against Migration from Country Homes j But doctors | marked chs ] Trying to c j blood remai j Pink Pills t ; frees it fi YOUR F'iiLfS CHARACTERISTICS TOLD BY THE EYES which pah:n't do the children take after?

It also liberates a hundred oots in the parent institution for youngsters who can be set right in a short time if quickly given constant attention.'So the Hospital for Sick Children has now two doors to keep open day and night to every class, color and creed. For more than half a century the Hospital has depended for its very existence upon the public response to its annual appeal which, being iu -behalf of children, is appropriately made at Christmas time. For over fifty years the H.F.S.C. has been enabled to make both ends meet by the donations of its friends, whether such be a dollar or an endowment Cut the end of 1928 finds it with many large bills to pay for its new To its old friends the Hospital for Sick Chddren once more appeals. It Is because so many of your readers • are included in that ever-growing circle, that I trespass upon your space to remind them that it was their generosity in the past that emboldened the Hospital's Trustees to build for the future. With an extra effort stimulated by a new need, cannot the income of the "Sick Kids" be put once more abreast of Its urgent needs? Faithfully yours. IRVING R. ROBERTSON, Chairman Appeal Committee.
