Since the last appeal vv<i.s made to the public the splendid Infectious Diseases Hospital and the new Soldiers Wards have been opened ;is additions to the main institution, and with these net blocks the authorities are enabled better to carry out the work of dealing with infectious diseases and the treatment of our grand returned sick and wounded soldiers than was hitherto the case. But to do this greater funds are reqniied and the public will be given an opportunity of showing their appreciation by liberally contributing to the appeal, being made by the hospital Saturday Committee. Further, in no year since its establishment have the controlling authorities of the hospitals been faced with such an expenditure ot time, energy, and money to meet the extraordinary demands of the last twelve mouths. 'Hie appeal in made m the interests of the sick and afflicted of our community who unli.i tiir.ately v.iJ always be with us, and who will refuse to give them a helping hand hy giving to the best of their ability. As tar as possible citizens wifi be personally canvassed but in the outlying districts many may be missed and to these the committee appeal to tor.vard their donations. Subscriptions by cheque m otherwise, forwarded to the Scvietary. Hospital Saturday Fund. Napier, wii 1 be acknowledged. A complete li.*t oi organisers will he issued to-morrow.
